Cadmium (Cd) contamination of freshwater systems remains a persistent environmental concern due to its high toxicity, non-essential nature, and long-term persistence. Sustainable and cost-effective remediation approaches are therefore required to mitigate Cd-associated ecological and health risks. In this study, Cd accumulation, ionomic responses, and genomic stability of clonal Limnobium laevigatum (Humb. p L. laevigatum displayed a tolerance-oriented Cd uptake pattern rather than hyperaccumulation, maintaining genomic integrity despite substantial ionomic shifts, and may serve as a supportive species for phytoremediation frameworks emphasizing tolerance and phytofiltration in freshwater systems.
