Research Abstract

Abstract Translocation of cadmium (Cd) in the tissues of Vicia faba, the water content in
biomass, the biomass production, and the glutathione and phytochelatin tissue
concentrations were studied and correlated with the plant sensitivity and/or tolerance to Cd.
The total concentrations of Cd were determined by inductively coupled plasma/mass
spectrometry (ICP-MS), the concentrations of glutathione (GSH) and phytochelatins 2 and 3
(PC2 and PC3) were determined by on-line high performance liquid chromatography
