CWChenglin WangSZShiyi ZhangZZZhanling Zhang

Key Points

  • The study investigates how cadmium affects root development and ginsenoside biosynthesis in Panax ginseng.
  • Examined cadmium's effects on ginseng adventitious roots.
  • Assessed cadmium bioaccumulation in root tissues and its impact on reactive oxygen species (ROS).
  • Analyzed the reduction in ginsenosides and polysaccharides due to cadmium exposure.
  • Cadmium inhibited root development significantly, leading to increased cell death in root tips.
  • Cadmium bioaccumulated in the root tissues of ginseng.
  • Exposure to cadmium resulted in reduced ginsenoside and polysaccharide biosynthesis.

Abstract

• Cadmium inhibited root development in ginseng adventitious roots. • Cadmium exhibits bioaccumulation characteristics in adventitious root tissues of ginseng. • Cadmium could trigger the cell death of root tips and increase the ROS in ginseng roots. • Cadmium exposure reduces the biosynthesis of ginsenosides and polysaccharides.
