Cadmium accumulation in different rice cultivars and screening for pollution-safe cultivars of rice.
TL;DR: The concept of pollution-safe cultivars (PSCs) is proposed, i.e. cultivars whose edible parts accumulate a specific pollutant at a level low enough for safe consumption, even when grown in contaminated soil, to reduce the risk of human exposure to soil pollutants through crop consumption.
