镉污染土壤植物修复的EDTA调控机理

我们通过温室盆栽试验 ,在不同Cd处理的土壤中加入EDTA ,分析了印度芥菜根和地上部Cd的浓度 ,探讨EDTA进入土壤后对Cd吸收和运输的影响。结果表明 :加入EDTA ,水提取的Cd浓度增加了 40 0倍以上 ,NH4 NO3提取的Cd浓度增加了 40倍以上 ,在土壤Cd浓度较低时 ,EDTA对植物吸收Cd没有显著影响 ,当土壤添加Cd在 1 3 0mgkg- 1以上时 ,加入EDTA显著增加了地上部Cd的浓度。EDTA能增加印度芥菜地上部中Cd的浓度 ,不是由于土壤溶液中Cd浓度增加从而增加了印度芥菜根对Cd的吸收 ,可能是EDTA加入土壤后增加了这些元素在土壤溶液中的浓度 ,从而高浓度的Cd对植物根细胞产生毒害 ,增加了细胞膜的透性后 ,土壤溶液中的络合物得以进入根细胞并随蒸腾作用运输到地上部。     

用人造沸石钝化污染土壤中的镉

<正> 工业的规模发展若不对废物排放进行有效的控制,则导致土壤中大量重金属(包括Cd)的积累,进而使Cd通过食物链进入人体.过去有关食物链中重金属的大多数研究局限于消极地测定土壤、植物,尤其是人体及其它动物器官中的Cd浓度,对于改变土壤理化性质降低Cd对植物有效性的研究也主要是通过施用石灰及保持高的土壤PH.Czupyrna等(1989)只评述了一些物质在原位污染土壤中固定重金属的能力,但他们既没有把观察到的结果与金属在食物链中迁移相联系,也没有阐明金属对植物的有效性或被植物吸收的程度.     

影响土壤吸附镐的若干因子

人体中Cd的累积主要来自于食物链,而食物生产与土壤有着十分密切的关系。虽然Cd能通过叶片的直接吸收进入植物体,但土壤是植物中Cd的主要来源,土壤溶液中Cd浓度直接影响植物对Cd的吸收。     

水稻土镉污染与水稻镉含量相关性研究

采用盆栽试验的方法,考察了水稻土中重金属镉（Cd）的浓度对水稻生长及Cd富集的影响以及Cd在水稻植株的分布情况,并进一步研究了糙米（可食部位）对Cd的富集量与土壤中Cd总量的关系。结果表明,在各个浓度Cd胁迫下,根、茎叶、稻壳、糙米相比,2个品种水稻都是根累积的Cd含量要高于茎叶和稻壳、糙米,即根〉茎叶〉稻壳〉糙米;在水稻的茎叶细胞中,Cd主要分布在细胞壁,细胞可溶性成分,细胞器Cd的分布量较少,即细胞壁〉可溶性部分〉细胞器及膜部分;随Cd浓度增加,茎叶中的Cd积累量极显著增加,各细胞组分中的Cd含量均显著增加;根据国标GB 2762—2005对大米中Cd的限量标准（≤0.2 mg.kg^-1）,水稻土土壤总Cd临界值分别为2.0 mg.kg^-（1博优225）、3.1 mg.kg^-（1矮糯）。因此,在污染土壤上宜选种食用部位重金属积累低的水稻品种,以减少人类吸收重金属的风险。     

绿肥作物矿化分解对土壤镉有效性的影响研究进展

绿肥是一种生物有机肥,其矿化分解是绿肥作物翻压进入土壤中被微生物分解产生植物可直接利用的物质的过程。绿肥矿化分解可影响土壤镉(Cd)有效性,但绿肥与Cd有效性两者并非简单的线性相关。本文综述分析了绿肥作物矿化分解对土壤Cd有效性的影响及其作用机理。结果表明:在绿肥翻压进入土壤被微生物分解的过程中,土壤中的可溶性有机质、pH值与Eh值、铁还原和微生物群落均影响重金属Cd在土壤中的迁移,可以使重金属Cd固定在土壤中或在植物根系表面沉淀;作物细胞拦截可降低Cd向地上部分的转运,最终只有极少量Cd到达作物的可食用部分。但由于受到绿肥用量、作物品种、土壤理化性状等其他因素的干扰,绿肥对土壤中Cd的修复效果具有不确定性。最后,通过总结分析绿肥对土壤性质的影响和其他因素对绿肥的干扰,阐明了绿肥对土壤中Cd有效性的影响机制。     

品种和土壤对水稻镉吸收的影响及镉生物有效性预测模型研究进展

稻田受重金属镉(Cd)污染后,土壤中的Cd可能被植物吸收通过食物链进入人体,威胁人类健康。而水稻品种和土壤类型对Cd吸收和积累有着深远的影响,因此在进行Cd的农产品安全阈值制定和人体健康风险评价时,需考虑土壤Cd的生物有效性和不同水稻品种对Cd吸收的影响。本文综述了水稻品种和土壤类型对Cd吸收和积累的影响,并重点介绍了目前常用于预测重金属生物有效性的模型,以期为环境风险评价、土壤环境质量标准及农产品安全阈值制定提供有效的工具,并为生产安全(无公害)稻米提供参考。     

镉在水稻体内的分布及其影响因素

研究了添加Cd的红壤上盆栽水稻对土壤Cd的吸收及在植株体内的分布。发现添加可溶性磷酸盐促进了Cd从根系向地上部的转移,而石灰则抑制Cd向地上部的转运。植株体内磷酸根离子可能有助于Cd在植物体内的运输。     

不同镉耐性水稻非蛋白巯基及镉的亚细胞和分子分布

采用镉（Cd）耐性不同的水稻品种N07-6和N07-63,通过室内水培试验,比较了50 μmol·L-1Cd胁迫下水稻的非蛋白巯基（NPT）、Cd的亚细胞和分子分布的差异。结果表明,Cd处理后,两品种水稻植株Cd含量存在明显差异,N07-63根部向地上部转移的Cd显著少于N07-6。Cd胁迫诱导了两个品种NPT含量的增加,N07-63的增幅显著高于N07-6。Cd绝大部分分布在水稻的细胞壁和细胞可溶部分。N07-63茎叶和根部细胞壁结合的Cd占总Cd的比例高于N07-6,而细胞可溶部分Cd的比例低于N07-6。从Cd的分子分布来看,水稻茎叶细胞可溶部分的Cd一部分与大分子量蛋白质结合,其余大部分与植物螯合肽（PCs）结合,而根细胞可溶部分的Cd绝大部分与PCs络合,N07-63的Cd-PCs结合程度高于N07-6。由此说明,与N07-6相比,N07-63细胞壁对Cd的束缚和细胞可溶部分Cd-PCs的络合程度更高,Cd的毒害效应更小,向地上部转运的Cd更少。     

硫、硅对水稻体内NPT含量及镉亚细胞分布的影响

在4 mg kg~(-1)的镉污染条件下,设置不同的外源硫和硅供应水平,对辽星1号和沈农315两个品种的水稻进行了土培实验,在分蘖期对辽星1号水稻进行了亚细胞分析,观察在不同条件下重金属镉的亚细胞分布;并在分蘖期测定植株茎叶部分的非蛋白巯基(NPT)含量,研究不同硫硅配比对水稻吸收分配重金属的机理。结果表明,沈农315号水稻叶当中的NPT含量高于辽星1号,外源硫可以提升两个品种水稻叶中的NPT含量,增强对重金属的耐性,同时增加镉在包括液泡在内的细胞可溶部分的分布;施硅可以强化细胞壁,随着施硅量的提升,根茎叶细胞壁中的镉分布均显著提升,并且根细胞壁中的提升幅度大于茎,说明施硅不仅可钝化土壤中的镉,并且在植物体内,加强根细胞壁对镉的固化是硅增强植物体重金属抗性的主要途径。     

先锋植物对铅锌尾矿库重金属污染的修复作用

通过野外调查发现湖南湘西花坦铅锌尾矿库定居成功五节芒、辣蓼和截叶铁扫帚3种先锋植物.研究先锋植物对其根际土壤理化性质的改良,先锋植物对重金属Pb、Zn、Cd的吸收积累及其生长对根际土壤重金属化学形态的影响.结果表明,先锋植物的定居提高了其根际土壤有机质、全氮含量和土壤含水率,而pH值均有所降低;3种先锋植物均表现为对Zn具有较强的富集能力,而对Pb、Cd的富集能力很差;先锋植物的生长通过促进残留态Pb、Zn、Cd向弱结合态转化,改变了Pb、Zn、Cd的形态分布,影响土壤中Pb、Zn、Cd的生物有效性.先锋植物五节芒、辣蓼和截叶铁扫帚的自然定居,有利于铅锌尾矿库重金属污染的修复.     

Effects of Graphene Oxide and/or Cd<Superscript>2+</Superscript> on Seed Germination,Seedling Growth,and Uptake to Cd<Superscript>2+</Superscript> in Solution Culture

With increasing graphene oxide (GO) applications in industry and biomedicine, effects of GO on microorganisms, animals, and human health have been frequently studied; however, direct and indirect effects of GO on plants are seldom concerned. In this study, effects of GO and/or Cd²⁺ on seed germination, seedling growth, and uptake to Cd²⁺ were investigated in solution culture. The results showed that GO could quickly adsorb Cd²⁺ in solution, and the higher the GO concentration was, the lower the residual Cd²⁺ concentration was in solution. Rice seed germination, seminal root length, and bud length decreased with increasing GO and Cd²⁺ concentrations respectively, while the presence of GO could alleviate the inhibitive effects of Cd²⁺ on seminal root and bud growth compared with the single Cd²⁺ treatment. In maize seedling, fresh weights of shoot and root showed similar responses to the presence of Cd²⁺ and/or GO. Compared with the single Cd²⁺ treatment, root Cd concentrations were generally increased by GO in high Cd²⁺ solution (20 mg/L), while were slightly affected by GO in low Cd²⁺ solution (5 mg/L) independent of GO concentrations except for 100 mg/L GO. Shoot Cd concentrations were decreased by low GO (100 mg/L) while were increased by high GO (>?500 mg/L) independent of Cd²⁺ concentrations in solution. Moreover, significant interactive effects of GO and Cd²⁺ on root and shoot Cd concentrations were observed. This study indicates that GO can change the effects of Cd²⁺ on seed germination, seedling growth, and uptake to Cd²⁺ in solution through its adsorption on Cd²⁺.     

Sulfur Alleviates Growth Inhibition and Oxidative Stress Caused by Cadmium Toxicity in Rice

A hydroponic experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of sulfur (S) on growth inhibition and oxidative stress caused by Cd²⁺ toxicity, using two rice cultivars with different grain Cd²⁺ content. Treatments consisted of factorial arrangement of three S levels (0.2, 0.4, and 0.8 mmol), two cadmium (Cd) levels (0 and 1 μ mol), and two rice cultivars (‘Bing 97252,’ a cultivar with low grain Cd²⁺ content, and ‘Xiushui 63,’ a cultivar with high grain Cd²⁺ content). The results showed that Cd²⁺ addition in the medium generally increased Cd²⁺ and malondialdehyde (MDA) content in both roots and shoots; the increases were more pronounced in ‘Xuishui 63’ than in ‘Bing 97252.’ Dramatic reductions in growth parameters, including plant height, root and shoot weight, tillers per plant, chlorophyll content, and net photosynthetic rate were found in the plants exposed to Cd stress relative to the plants without Cd²⁺ treatment. ‘Xiushui 63’ showed more sensitivity than ‘Bing 97252’ under Cd²⁺ exposure. In comparison with the lower S level (0.2 mmol), the higher S levels (0.4 and 0.6 mmol) helped alleviate Cd toxicity, characterized by a significant increase in growth parameters, and a decrease in Cd²⁺ and MDA content in both roots and shoots. In addition, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the plants varied among tissues, cultivars, and Cd treatments. High Cd²⁺ and MDA content was consistently accompanied by higher SOD activity, and higher S levels caused a marked increase in glutathione content and a reduction in SOD activity, indicating a positive effect of S in alleviating oxidative stress.     

Effects of zinc activity in nutrient solution on uptake,translocation, and root export of cadmium and zinc in three wheat genotypes with different zinc efficiencies

The interactions of zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) in uptake and translocation are common but not consistent. We hypothesized that Cd²⁺ and Zn²⁺ activity in the apoplasmic solution bathing root-cells could affect Zn accumulation in plants dependent on the wheat genotype. This hypothesis was tested using seedlings of two bread wheat genotypes (Triticum aestivum L. cvs. Rushan and Cross) and one durum wheat genotype (Triticum durum L. cv. Arya) with different Zn efficiencies grown in chelate-buffered nutrient solutions with three Zn²⁺ (10^?11.11, 10^?9.11, and 10^?8.81?µM) and two Cd²⁺ (10^?11.21 and 10^?10.2?µM) activity levels. Increasing Zn²⁺ activity in the nutrient solution significantly increased Zn concentration in root and shoots of all three wheat genotypes, although the magnitude of this increase was dependent on the genotype. Cadmium decreased Zn concentration in roots of “Cross” while it had no significant effect on root Zn concentration in “Rushan.” At Zn^2+?=?10^?11.11?µM, Cd decreased shoot Zn concentration in “Arya” whereas it increased shoot Zn concentration at Zn^2+?=?10^?8.81?µM. Cadmium increased shoot Zn concentration of “Rushan” and “Cross” at Zn^2+?=?10^?8.81?µM but it had no significant effect on shoot Zn concentration of these genotypes at Zn^2+?=?10^?11.11?µM. The zinc-inefficient genotype “Arya” accumulated significantly more Cd in its root in comparison with “Cross” and “Rushan.” Cadmium concentration in roots of “Arya” was decreased significantly with increasing Zn activity. The effect of Zn on accumulation of Cd in roots of “Cross” and “Rushan” was dependent on the dose provided, and therefore, both synergistic (at Zn^2+?=?10^?9.11?µM) and antagonistic (at Zn^2+?=?10^?8.81?µM) interactive effects were found in these genotypes. Zinc supply increased the Zn concentration of xylem sap in “Cross” and “Rushan” whereas Zn content in xylem sap of “Arya” was decreased at Zn^2+?=?10^?9.11?µM and thereafter increased at Zn^2+?=?10^?8.81?µM. Cadmium treatment reduced Zn concentration in xylem sap of “Arya,” while it tended to increase Zn content in xylem sap of “Cross.” At Zn-deficient conditions, greater retention of Zn in root cell walls of Zn-inefficient “Arya” resulted in lower root-to-shoot transport of Zn in this genotype. Results revealed that the effect of Cd on the root-to-shoot translocation of Zn via the xylem is dependent on wheat genotype and Zn activity in the nutrient solution.     

Interactions Between Cadmium Uptake and Phytotoxic Levels of Zinc in Hard Red Spring Wheat

Abstract

Wheat grown on cadmium (Cd)‐uncontaminated soils can still potentially translocate unacceptable levels of Cd to grain. The effect of zinc (Zn) and Cd levels on Cd uptake and translocation in “Grandin” hard red spring wheat (HRS‐wheat) (Triticum aestivum L.) was investigated using a double chelator‐buffered nutrient solution [EGTA used to buffer Cd, Zn, copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), and nickel (Ni); and Ferrozine (FZ) used to buffer Fe²⁺]. In the Zn level series of treatments, Cd²⁺ activity was held constant at 10^?10.7 M, and the Zn²⁺ activity was varied from 10^?7.6 to 10^?5.2 M. As Zn²⁺ activity increased, the translocation of Cd to the shoots decreased. The shoot : root Cd concentration ratio decreased from 0.20 to 0.03 as pZn²⁺ went from 7.6 to 5.2, indicating that adequate to high levels of Zn are effective in reducing Cd translocation to the shoots of “Grandin” HRS‐wheat. In the Cd series, the Zn activity was at 10^?6.6 M, while Cd activity was increased from 10^?10.7 to 10^?9.2 M. High levels of Cd did not significantly affect the uptake and translocation of Zn in the roots and shoots. While at pCd²⁺ of 9.2, the root and shoot Cd concentrations significantly increased, there was not a significant increase in the shoot : root Cd ratio. This would indicate that even at high Cd²⁺ activities, Zn is effective in regulating Cd uptake and translocation in “Grandin” HRS‐wheat.     

Analysis of intercellular cadmium forms in roots and leaves of bush bean

Abstract

We characterized and quantified the chemical form of cadmium (Cd) in intercellular solutions of the apparent free space (AFS) of roots and leaves of bush bean plants. Plants were grown in sand and treated daily for five days with Hoagland nutrient solution containing, respectively, 0.5 and 1 mM Cd(NO₃)2. The intercellular solution was collected by infiltration‐extraction procedure using successively distilled water, 5 mM CaCl₂, and 5 mM EDTA in order to collect separately the water soluble, exchangeable, and complexed Cd. The ability of extradant solutions to remove Cd from the AFS of roots and leaves was: H2O < CaCl₂ ? EDTA, confirming that most of Cd was bound at the cell wall. Voltarimetric technique showed that water‐soluble Cd in intercellular solutions of the root and leaf tissues was as the Cd²⁺ ion, suggesting that Cd might be taken up by the roots and transported to leaves as the free ion.     

Silicon induced cadmium tolerance of rice seedlings

Cadmium (Cd²⁺) toxicity and effects of silicon (Si) applications on the cellular and intracellular accumulations and distributions of Cd were investigated by conventional electron microscopy and EDX analysis. The Si‐deprived rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants (‐Si) differ greatly from Si‐replete ones in cell walls and vacuoles distributions of Ca in their leaves and roots. Energy dispersive x‐ray microanalysis revealed that considerable amounts of Cd could be detected in the cytoplasm, vacuole or cellular organelles in ‐Si rice plants, while very little to be found in +Si ones. From the nanochemical and nanobiological points of views, cell wall templates mediated the formation of colloidal silica with the high specific adsorption property to prevent the uptake of Cd into the cell.     

Heavy Metal Uptake by Rape

Abstract

In pot experiments, the effect of single and combined pollution of soil by lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and zinc (Zn) and uptake of heavy metals in Brassica napus L. were investigated. There were two main factors that affected the assimilation of Pb, Cd, and Zn by rape: (i) level of soil pollution by the particular element and (ii) the combined influence of Pb, Cd, and Zn. In general, with the increase of the concentrations of Pb, Cd, and Zn in the soil, there were increases in the concentrations of those elements in the roots, stems, and seeds. The main part of the Pb and Zn amounts taken up by the roots from the soil are fixed and accumulated in the roots, and small amounts of them move through the conductive system to the seeds. Cadmium moves relatively easily from root to stem and is accumulated in higher concentrations in the top of the plant.

There is a well‐expressed synergistic interaction between Pb²⁺ and Cd²⁺, as well as of Cd²⁺ and Zn²⁺. Zinc has a highly depressing effect on the assimilation of Cd²⁺, as does Pb²⁺ on the assimilation of Zn²⁺. The combined pollution by Pb, Cd, and Zn stimulated the assimilation of these elements by the roots and foliage and eliminated the effect of Zn²⁺ on Cd²⁺ and of Pb²⁺ on Zn²⁺.     

The significant contribution of mycorrhizal fungi and earthworms to maize protection and phytoremediation in Cd-polluted soils

Mycorrhizal fungi and earthworms can individually or interactively influence plant growth and heavy metal uptake. The influence of earthworms and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi either alone or in combination on maize (Zea mays L.) growth and cadmium (Cd) uptake was investigated in a calcareous soil artificially spiked with Cd. Soils were contaminated with Cd (10 and 20 mg Cd kg⁻¹), inoculated or un-inoculated with the epigeic earthworm Lumbricus rubellus and two AM fungal species (Rhizophagus irregularis and Funneliformis mosseae) for two months of growth under greenhouse conditions. Generally, earthworms alone increased both shoot P uptake and biomass but decreased shoot Cd concentration and root Cd uptake. AM fungi individually often increased total maize P uptake, declined shoot Cd concentration, and consequently produced higher total biomass. However, R. irregularis enhanced shoot Cd uptake at low Cd level and root Cd uptake at high Cd level. In plants inoculated with F. mosseae species, earthworms increased shoot biomass and Cd uptake, decreased root biomass and Cd uptake at all Cd levels, and increased shoot Cd concentration at low Cd level. In plants colonized by R. irregularis species, however, earthworm addition decreased maize biomass only at high Cd level and root Cd concentration and total maize Cd uptake at both Cd levels. Earthworm activity decreased Cd transfer from the soil to maize roots at low Cd level, but this was counterbalanced in the presence of F. mosseae. Mycorrhizal symbiosis significantly reduced the transfer of Cd from roots to shoots, independence of earthworm effect. Overall, it is concluded that L. rubellus and AM fungi, in particular F. mosseae isolate, improved maize tolerance to Cd toxicity both individually and interactively by increasing plant growth and P nutrition, and restricting Cd transfer to the aboveground biomass. Consequently, the single and interactive effects of the two soil organisms might potentially be important not only in protecting maize plants against Cd toxicity, but also in Cd phytostabilization in soils polluted by this highly toxic metal.     

镉胁迫对菊芋生理变化及镉富集的影响

通过用耐镉性较好的徐州菊芋和耐镉性较弱的潍坊菊芋进行对比试验,设置土培CK(Cd~(2+) 0 mmol/L,即对照组)、T1(Cd~(2+) 0.1 mmol/L)、T2(Cd~(2+) 0.5 mmol/L)和T3(Cd~(2+) 1.0 mmol/L)4个处理组,探讨菊芋镉胁迫下各项生理指标和根际土壤指标以及富集能力的影响。结果表明:经过不同镉浓度胁迫21天后,2个菊芋品种的根长、株高、叶长、叶宽均受到相应程度的抑制,抗氧化酶活性随镉浓度的增加而减弱;但丙二醛(MDA)含量变化有所不同,潍坊菊芋的MDA含量伴着镉胁迫加深而增加,徐州菊芋只在T3镉浓度下才出现明显的上升变化,并在21天时达到峰值,为对照组的3.52倍。根际土壤pH大致呈现出持续下降趋势,镉处理20天时潍坊菊芋和徐州菊芋根际土壤pH均在T3处理下达到最低,降幅分别为3.85%和3.41%;有机质含量却表现出不断增加的状态,T3镉处理至第20天时,潍坊菊芋最大增幅为38.60%,徐州菊芋为36.01%;随着施加镉浓度的变大,抑制了菊芋对土壤碱解氮的吸收,总体上潍坊菊芋受抑制程度大于徐州菊芋。2个菊芋品种对镉的富集效果也不同,徐州菊芋各器官镉富集量均高于潍坊菊芋;在转运镉方面,潍坊菊芋根部的镉均等地转移到了叶、茎上,徐州菊芋则将大部分从根部转移到茎上。综上所述,菊芋在镉胁迫下体现出一定的抗性,具有较强镉富集能力,徐州菊芋镉富集能力更为明显。因此,将能源植物菊芋应用于镉污染土壤兼具经济和生态意义。     

不同浓度镉胁迫对玉米幼苗光合作用、脂质过氧化和抗氧化酶活性的影响

以玉米为材料,通过营养液培养试验,研究浓度为5~100 μmol/L的镉胁迫后不同时间内,植株体内活性氧代谢及其抗氧化酶活性的变化特征,探讨镉胁迫导致植物体内活性氧自由基累积的原因及不同程度镉胁迫对植物体内活性氧代谢的影响。随着加镉量的增加,玉米地上部生物量明显降低,而根部生物量未表现出差异。镉处理降低了叶片光合作用速率,高镉处理的影响较早。镉处理4d后,5、20、和100 mol/L Cd2+浓度处理玉米叶片Fv/Fm减小,PSII系统的原初光能转换效率下降,但比光合作用速率下降的时间要晚;镉处理7d的叶片中丙二醛（MDA）含量还没有受到明显影响,但20和100 μmol/L Cd2+处理4d后,根系膜质过氧化增强,MDA含量升高。随着镉浓度升高,处理时间延长,活性氧酶清除系统包括超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、过氧化物酶（POD）、过氧化氢酶（CAT）和谷胱甘肽还原酶（GR）等酶活性明显增加,受到镉胁迫诱导,高浓度镉处理该现象出现更早。本文试验结果表明,镉胁迫下植物体内活性氧形成增多,诱导活性氧酶清除系统活性升高,其中一个重要原因是与CO2同化受到限制有关。
