Note. The data in the table are mean ± standard error. Outside the brackets are the differences between different Cd treatments in the soil, inside the brackets are the differences between different growth stages, [] is the differences between different organs in rice. There was significant difference between the two varieties at the 0.05 level, and a significant difference at 0.01 level.
