Progress on Cadmium Toxicity Prevention and Related-genes in Plant
Cadmium(Cd),a hazardous heavy metal and a class I carcinogen,poses a significant threat to the health and growth of both animals and plants.With the rapid advancement of industrialization and urbanization,the accumulation of cadmium in soil has become increasingly severe,posing a risk to food production safety.While researchers have made remarkable progress in studying the toxic mechanisms of cadmium on plant growth,development,photosynthesis,and enzymatic activity,the translation of these findings into practical applications remains uncommon.Moreover,many plant species,such as sugarcane,have received limited attention in terms of cadmium-related research.Therefore,a comprehensive understanding of the research progress of prevention and related-genes on plant cadmium toxicity is crucial for facilitating the selection and breeding of low-cadmium materials.With this in mind,this review summarizes an overview of the exploration of plant cadmium-related gene loci,gene-aided selection of low-cadmium materials,and an overview of research on plant cadmium-related genes.These findings provide an important theoretical basis for the breeding of low cadmium materials,which it is conducive to promoting the research on plant response to cadmium toxicity and the progress of green agricultural efficiency enhancement.
