Table 2. Fitted equations of Cd concentration and the inhibition rate of root or shoot biomass.

Cultivar Fit equations between Cd concentration and inhibition rate of root biomass IC50 (μM) IC90 (μM) R2 Fit equations between Cd concentration and inhibition rate of shoot biomass IC50 (μM) IC90 (μM) R2

Notes:

x is Cd concentration, and y is inhabitation of root or shoot biomass. IC50 indicates an effective Cd concentration (when the root or shoot biomass decreased by 50% compared with the control), and IC90 indicates a lethal concentration (when the root or shoot biomass decreased by 90% compared with the control).
