Therefore, applying NH4+-N tp PHW-SA caused greater tolerance to Cd toxicity by higher biomass production, photosynthetic capacity, Ca and Cu accumulation, better root development and lower translocation factor of Cd as well as Cd concetration in organelle fraction. The Cd stress inhibited the growth performance of wheat seedlings, the mineral nutrient accumulation, and nitrogen uptake and distribution, and different forms of nitrogen have different protective effects on wheat. In PHW-SA, ANCd treatment caused lower reduction in biomass accumulation, photosynthesis, isotope stable N content, Ca and Cu accumulation, root development inhibition, tissue Cd concentration, and transfer factor, which even led to lower concentrations of Cd in Fco than those in Fcw and Fs in comparison with NNCd treatment. On the other hand, the converse growth performance was recorded in J-11 under ANCd treatment. Meanwhile, the nitrogen absorption preference in PHW-SA was altered along with the enhanced absorption efficiency of nitrogen. Therefore, applying NH4+-N to PHW-SA caused greater tolerance to Cd toxicity by higher biomass production, photosynthetic capacity, Ca and Cu accumulation, better root development and lower translocation factor of Cd as well as Cd concetration in organelle fraction..
