Abstract
The article cites a study conducted to determine the genotypic difference of barley in their response to Cadmium (Cd) through studying the effect of Cd addition on seedling growth, biomass accumulation and the uptake and distribution of Cd and other mineral elements in plants. The study was carried out in 2000 on Huajiachi campus, Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China. Methods used to evaluate heavy metal tolerance were based on root elongation measurements in plants grown with high concentrations of the toxic ion. Results of the study revealed that Cd concentration was lower in shoots than in roots.
