The influences of Cd2+ on the subcellular distribution and chemical speciation of Cd in Typha latifolia L. in hydroponic system were investigated. The results showed that the accumulation of Cd increased with its supply and and the highest Cd concentration occurred in roots, followed by rhizomes and leaves. Increased Cd concentration in the medium resulted in an enhancement in Cd uptake in various subcellular fractions of cattail, with the most of Cd was localized in cell walls, the second in soluble fraction, and the lowest in organelle contai...
