- Abstract
Maize is an important agricultural product in China. Studying the effects of cadmium stress on maize growth and development is critical for its practical application. This study focused on the maize variety Guidan162 and conducted multiple experiments to investigate the effects of trehalose on the physicochemical and biochemical properties of maize seedlings under cadmium stress. The experimental outcomes showed that trehalose not only increased the root and stem length of maize seedlings under cadmium stress by 2.4 - 3.8 cm, but also increased the dry weight of seedlings by 40.8%. In addition, trehalose reduced the cadmium content in the plant and root parts of maize seedlings under cadmium stress by 37.0% and 32.4%, respectively. Consequently, exogenous trehalose had the potential to mitigate the growth mechanism stress caused by cadmium in maize.
