Table 4 Effect of sulfur addition on distribution of Cd and S in the tissues at the mature of rice exposed to Cd-contaminated soil

From: Effects of sulfur supply on cadmium transfer and concentration in rice at different growth stages exposed to sulfur-deficient but highly cadmium-contaminated soil

		Brown rice	Husk	Stem	Leaf	Root
Cd (%)	–S	11.36 ± 0.17b	19.01 ± 2.30a	48.86 ± 1.70a	17.57 ± 0.83a	3.19 ± 0.34a
Cd (%)	+ S	15.13 ± 0.84a	21.99 ± 3.02a	50.64 ± 1.64a	10.58 ± 2.06b	1.66 ± 0.14b
S (%)	–S	11.94 ± 1.02b	20.74 ± 2.62b	31.74 ± 1.13a	28.46 ± 3.65a	7.12 ± 0.66a
S (%)	+ S	22.90 ± 0.64a	28.93 ± 2.57a	25.59 ± 2.25b	17.42 ± 1.29b	5.16 ± 0.46b

Values are mean ± standard deviations. Values followed by different letters within a column indicate significance at p < 0.05 (LSD) for sulfur application
–S without S supply, + S with S supply
