Physiological Responses and Transcriptomic Characteristics of Exogenous Trehalose Alleviating Cadmium Toxicity in Maize Seedlings

Cadmium (Cd) contamination poses a severe ecological risk to ecosystems. Trehalose (TR) is a non-reducing disaccharide which can mitigate the adverse effects of heavy metals. The physiological responses and transcriptomic characteristics underlying TR-mediated heavy metal toleran...
