The growing use of electronic devices and power batteries has introduced lithium (Li) as a new environmental contaminant. However, knowledge on the toxicity of Li to plants remains scarce. In this study, Cardamine violifolia was exposed to 200 mg L −1 of LiCl, with samples collected on 3, 6, 9, and 12 d. Results showed that Li concentration in C. violifolia increased over time. By 12 d, the shoots and roots accumulated 164.67 mg kg −1 and 8.41 mg kg −1 FW of Li, respectively. Li was primarily found in the blade edges and was mainly dis...
