Formation of iron plaque on mangrove Kandalar. Obovata (S.L.) root surfaces and its role in cadmium uptake and translocation

In conclusion, formation of Fe plaque can precipitate Cd on root surfaces and impede its uptake and translocation in Kandalar. Obovata (S.L.). However, in comparison with root tissues, Fe plaque is of little significance. It is the mangrove root tissue that acts as the main buffer to Cd uptake and translocation.
