Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic element for plant. In order to reveal the effects of NaHS on Cd uptake, physiological and molecular responses of salix to Cd toxicity, NaHS-mediated hydroponics of salix under Cd stress was performed. The addition of NaHS reduces the salix biomass reduction caused by Cd poisoning. NaHS did not obviously reduce the total Cd level absorbed by salix, but significantly reduced the soluble Cd fractions and increased the insoluble Cd fractions in salix leaves and roots. NaHS reduced the distribution of Cd in organelles and vacuoles and increased the distribution of Cd ...
