Post-translational modification omics reveals the early-stage response of Chinese cabbage to Cd stress

Key Points

• Chinese cabbage shows a significant stress response to cadmium exposure within early stages of development, indicating adaptability.
• The most crucial findings include numerous alterations in post-translational modifications, with specific biomarkers emerging in response to cadmium.
• Analysis using omics technology allows for detailed insights into the plant's molecular changes as it encounters stressors like cadmium.
• These findings highlight the need for further exploration into plant resilience mechanisms against environmental pollutants.
