The results showed that the Cd content of F1 hybrid was between the parents. In stems, leaves and shoots, the Cd content of DN ( S. diphyllum male × S. nigrum female) and ND ( S. nigrum male × S. diphyllum female) F1 hybrid increased by 14.09% and 17.34%, 8.08% and 11.14%, 9.5% and 12.04% respectively compared with S. nigrum , and decreased by 13.34% and 10.87%, 6.52% and 3.88%, 7.44% and 5.0% respectively compared with S. diphyllum , with no significant difference in roots. Therefore, the accumulation ability of Cd in F1 hybrids was improved to a certain extent compared to S. nigrum , but decreased to a certain extent compared to S. diphyllum .Read More
