Cadmium (Cd) is a well-known testis toxicant. The blood-testis barrier (BTB) is a crucial component of the testis. Cd can disrupt the integrity of the BTB and reproductive function. However, the mechanism of Cd-induced disruption of BTB and testicular damage has not been fully elucidated. Here, our ...

Cadmium (Cd) is one of the highly toxic, non-essential heavy metals that inhibit plant growth and development. The differences in physiological indicators and leaf microstructure between cadmium-tolerant and cadmium-sensitive soybean under Cd stress were studied. The results showed that the photosyn...
