Cadmium (Cd2+) is a pollutant of great environmental concern due to its multiple origins (natural and anthropogenic), the ability to accumulate in organs and tissues, and the deleterious effects it can cause in organisms. In the present study, we investigated the effects of Cd2+ exposure on Sphagneticola trilobata plants. We evaluated the accumulation of Cd2+, the plant biomass, the content of chlorophyll, soluble sugars, proteins and the production of malondialdehyde and thiols as markers of oxidative stress and tolerance, respectively. The Cd2+ content in the plant organs increased proportionally to the concentration of CdCl2 in the environment, reaching accumulatively 1306, 193 and 52 mg\ub7kg-1 in roots, stems and leaves, respectively. ...
