Effect of Cd–Zn compound contamination on the physiological response of broad bean and aphids by Liya Chen, Sijing Wan, Qintian Shen, Keting Zhao, Yanlan He, Yexin Xie, Shiyu Tao, Shuchang Zheng, Yi Zhang, Shigui Wang, Bin Tang, Yan Li, Yan Li

“…However, research on the toxic effect of the Cd–Zn combination is still lacking, and the underlying toxic mechanisms remain unclear.MethodsTherefore, in this experiment, we established four treatment groups with different ratios of Cd–Zn compound stress for the broad bean, Vicia faba L., and aphids, Megoura crassicauda, to explore the growth and physiological adaptation mechanisms under different levels of mixed heavy metal stress.ResultsBy measuring the germination rate, seedling height, and chlorophyll content of broad beans, we found that Cd–Zn-mixed stress has a synergistic inhibitory effect on the growth and development of broad beans. …”
