Concentrations of Cd, ALA, Si and Mn were 30 mg kg^-1 CdCl₂, 10 mg L^-1 ALA, 200 mg kg^-1 Na₂SiO₃·9H₂O and 100 mg kg^-1 MnSO₄, respectively. Data are the means of three replicates (mean ± SE). Small letters indicate significant differences at P< 0.05 by Duncan’s multiple range tests. DW, Dry weight; FW, Fresh weight.
