Morphophysiological effects on jambu plants exposed to cadmium: a multivariate approach

The study has as objective an analysis of the cadmium (Cd) effects in Acmella Oleracea (L.) K. Jansen (jambu), a widely consumed vegetable in the Amazon region, used and distributed in many parts of the world. It was performed a systematic analysis of the plant, with creation of indicators composed by biometric variables, gas exchange and cadmium content. The results showed that low doses of Cd promoted significant increase in growth, mass gain, net assimilation of CO2, stomatal conductance and transpiration on jambu. On the other hand, high doses of Cd induce toxicity in the vegetable.
