The new EU regulation on cadmium (Cd) in cacao-derived products affects the cacao market
worldwide. Here, we reviewed the journey of Cd from soil to chocolate bar and collated …

Cadmium (Cd), one of the most severe environmental pollutants in soil, poses a great threat
to food safety and human health. Understanding the potential sources, fate, and …

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are a specific category of microbes that
improve plant growth and promote greater tolerance to metal stress through their …

Heavy metals are among the major environmental pollutants and the accumulation of these
metals in soils is of great concern in agricultural production due to the toxic effects on crop …

The application of mineral phosphate (P) fertilizers leads to an unintended Cd input into
agricultural systems, which might affect soil fertility and quality of crops. The Cd fluxes at …

Abstract Initial Cadmium (Cd) isotope fractionation studies in cereals ascribed the retention
of Cd and its light isotopes to the binding of Cd to sulfur (S). To better understand the relation …

Cadmium isotopic compositions in non-contaminated systems and anthropogenic sources of
Cd generally have different isotopic signatures. Cadmium isotopes, as a novel tracer, can be …

This study employs stable isotope analysis to investigate the mechanisms of cadmium (Cd)
and zinc (Zn) interaction in the metal hyperaccumulating plant species Sedum …

Analyses of stable metal isotope ratios constitute a novel tool in order to improve our
understanding of biogeochemical processes in soil–plant systems. In this study, we used …

In response to new European Union regulations, studies are underway to mitigate
accumulation of toxic cadmium (Cd) in cacao (Theobroma cacao, Tc). This study advances …
