Note. The data in the table are mean ± standard error. The soil difference of Cd is shown outside the brackets, while the growth period difference is shown inside the brackets. There was significant difference between the two varieties at the 0.05 level, and a significant difference at 0.01 level. Pn (Photo), photosynthesis rate; Gs, stomatal conductance (Gs); Ci, intercellular CO2 concentration; Tr (Trmmol), transpiration rate.
