Summary Because plant wilting has been described as a consequence of cadmium (Cd 2+ ) toxicity, we investigate Cd 2+ effects on plant water losses, gas exchanges and stomatal behaviour in Arabidopsis thaliana L. Effects of 1‐week Cd 2+ application in hydroponic condition (CdCl 2 10–100 µ m ) were an...
