Note. The data in the table are mean ± standard error. The difference between different treatments of soil Cd concentration is shown outside the brackets, and the difference between different growth stages is shown inside brackets. The difference between the two varieties at the 0.05 level, and the difference between the two varieties at 0.01 level. SOD, superoxide dismutase; POD, peroxidase (POD); CAT, catalase (CAT); MDA, malondialdehyde.
