“…In contrast to the Cd accumulation in plants (Figure a), the concentration of several nutrients was decreased in tomato roots (Figures and ), indicating that Cd prevents their uptake. This antagonist effect, which was also reported in other tomato cultivars (Dong, Wu, & Zhang, ; Hédiji et al., ; López‐Millán, Sagardoy, Solanas, Abadía, & Abadía, ), is probably due to Cd‐induced alterations in the activity of plasma membrane transporters (Migocka & Klobus, ), as well as due to sharing of transporters between Cd and some nutrients (Korshunova, Eide, Clark, Guerinot, & Pakrasi, ; Thomine, Wang, Ward, Crawford, & Schroeder, ). The last assumption is especially consistent for Mn and Fe transporters that are enrolled in Cd absorption and translocation in several species (Sasaki, Yamaji, Yokosho, & Ma, ; Thomine et al., ; Wu et al., ), indicating that Cd uptake occurs at the expense of Mn and Fe absorption (Figure b,c), so decreasing their accumulation in fruits, especially in the peel of those from the fourth bunch (Figures d and b).…”
