Silicon application reduces cadmium accumulation by suppressing expression of genes involved in cadmium transport in Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis)
• Field survey of 60 bamboos reveals inverse Si-Cd correlation. • Shoot Si accumulation reduces Cd uptake by suppressing transporter genes. • Si-based strategy reduces Cd accumulation in shoots for safe production.
