Abstract
Notice of Retraction
After careful and considered review of the content of this paper by a duly constituted expert committee, this paper has been found to be in violation of IEEE´s Publication Principles.
We hereby retract the content of this paper. Reasonable effort should be made to remove all past references to this paper.
The presenting author of this paper has the option to appeal this decision by contacting TPII@ieee.org.
The objective of this research was to determine the effect of Fe status on the uptake of cadmium (Cd) by leaf red beet (Beta vulgaris var.cicla L.) in hydroponic culture. We also investigated the influence of Fe deficiency on rhizosphere pH, bioconcentration factor (BCF) and translocation factor (TF) in plants. After the seedlings had grown for five weeks, the seedlings were exposed for 4 days at at the concentrations of Cd 0 mg/L (control), 0.1 mg/L and 1 mg/L. The results showed that Fe deficiency induced Cd uptake, biomass decrease and solution pH decrease in hydroponic culture by plants. Fe-deficient plants BCF and TF were higher compared to Fe sufficient ones.
