Cadmium (Cd) is a contaminant that causes significant damage to organisms. In plants, it results in growth delay, alters photosynthetic function, and affects nutrient concentrations. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of Cd (0, 0,25, 0,50, and 1 µM) on chlorophyll content, structural damage to the root, and the absorption and translocation of nutrients (Ca, K, Mg, Mn, Fe, and Zn) in Phaseolus vulgaris var. Opus plants. An increase in chlorophyll a was observed at Cd concentrations of 0.25 and 1 µM. Chlorophyll b increased across all Cd treatments, while carotenoid content decreased in all treatments. The roots exhibited structural damage as Cd concentrations increased. For nutrients, Ca, Mg, Mn, and Zn in leaves, and K in stems, increased with higher Cd doses. Conversely, K in roots decreased with higher Cd concentrations, and Fe decreased compared to the control in all evaluated ...
