Visual Analysis of Research Progress on the Impact of Cadmium Stress on Horticultural Plants over 25 Years by Zhouli Liu, Benyang Hu, Yi Zhao, Shuyan Zhang, Xiangbo Duan, Hengyu Liu, Luyang Meng

“…The network of collaborations among authors and institutions in the WOS database seemed denser compared to that in the CNKI database. (3) International research hotspots have focused on accumulation, tolerance and oxidative stress, while domestically, the focus has been on antioxidant enzymes, growth and seed germination. Phytoremediation, subcellular distribution and the transcriptome are the world’s emerging topics, while in China, growth and physiological characteristics are still emerging topics. (4) In comparison, China exhibited a lagging development trend, which is reflected in the fact that it began to focus on gene expression and transcriptome research only after the global frontier shifted towards biochar and cadmium co-stress and yield response. …”
