The effects of Cd on the growth and Cd uptaking in corn (Zea mays L.) were explored under different Cd stress. The results showed that no reduction in shoot and root dry matter yields were noted when the plants were grown at Cd supply levels ≤100 μmol l−1 nutrient solution. The Cd concentration in the shoots and roots of corn increased sharply with increasing external Cd supply levels, peaked at 50 μmol l−1, and then decreased slowly with further increasing Cd levels due to high Cd toxic effects on root growth. The concentrations of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and chlorophyll a + b in the leaf of corn decreased slowly with increasing external Cd supply levels. Proline concentrations of corn increased when the plants were grown under the external Cd influence. The lower concentration of Cd treatments did not influenced the growth of corn significantly, and increased the uptake of Cd, the higher levels of Cd supply caused significantly physiological resposes and decreased the Cd uptaking.
