镉对植物光合作用及氮代谢影响研究进展

镉是毒性最强的环境污染物之一。植物中积累的镉可通过食物链进入人体,给人类健康带来潜在危害。镉能抑制植物生长,能使植物形态、生理生化及结构发生改变。镉可减少净光合速率,损伤光合器官;使叶绿素含量下降;抑制气孔开放,从而影响植物的光合作用;镉通过改变植物硝酸还原酶(NR)、谷胺酰氨合成酶(GS)、谷氨酸合成酶(GOGAT)以及谷氨酸脱氢酶(GDH)的活性,进一步影响植物氮代谢过程。光合作用及氮代谢在植物生长发育过程中起着十分重要的作用,综述了重金属镉对植物光合作用及氮代谢的影响,并对其机理进行了探讨。     

Cd2+胁迫对紫花苜蓿叶绿素和可溶性糖含量的影响

以紫花苜蓿为试材,采用盆栽试验,研究不同浓度Cd2 胁迫对不同茬期紫花苜蓿的叶绿素、可溶性糖的影响。结果表明:随重金属Cd2 胁迫剂量的加大,3茬紫花苜蓿叶绿素含量、可溶性糖含量呈倒"N"形规律变化,即降-升-降的变化,这与重金属诱导下紫花苜蓿的防御机制有关。3茬紫花苜蓿的可溶性糖含量不同,依次是第1茬>第2茬>第3茬,3茬紫花苜蓿的叶绿素含量不同:低浓度Cd2 下,第2茬>第1茬>第3茬;高浓度Cd2 下,第2茬>第3茬>第1茬。主要原因可能是由于苜蓿的收割,导致Cd流失,胁迫作用减弱或者是多种影响因素综合作用的结果。     

腐殖酸对池塘底泥中铅、镉的离子形态分布及其活性的影响

本文探讨了腐殖酸对池塘底泥中铅、镉的离子形态分布及其活性的影响。结果表明,富里酸(FA)能使底泥中铅、镉的碳酸盐结合态、铁锰氧化物结合态和残渣态的含量下降,而有机结合态和可溶态的含量升高,但是胡敏酸(HA)则使其它各形态均向有机结合态转化。随着FA浓度的提高底泥中铅、镉的可溶态含量也呈增高的趋势,但是HA的作用与此相反,这就表明FA能活化底泥中的铅、镉,而HA则起到了钝化作用,且它们的作用随着浓度的增大而增大。另外,无论是FA还是HA它们对底泥中铅、镉的离子形态分布及其活性的影响均表现出对铅的作用大于对镉的作用。     

土壤有机态Cd转(活)化的影响因子及其综合作用

为实现重金属污染土壤的修复 ,本文讨论了土壤有机态Cd转 (活 )化的影响因子及其综合作用。根据统计学的判别分析发现 :EM菌为其主导影响因子 ,而非以往形态转化研究中所说的pH ,其作用机制可能主要是生物降解 ;就影响因子的综合作用效果而言 ,在有机态Cd向活化态Cd转化中 ,有效的处理组合是随着土壤 pH的改变而变化的 :pH 6.5时 ,以EM菌 1%、C/N 2 0为最佳。pH 7.0时 ,以EM菌 1%、C/N =3 5为最宜。pH 7.5时 ,EM菌 3 %、C/N =3 5才最适 ;本研究条件下有机态Cd减少和活性态Cd增加的协同转化率为 11.5 %。本研究为重金属污染土壤的修复提供了重要的理论依据     

几种有机物对紫色土镉的溶出效应与吸附-解吸行为影响的研究

研究了天然有机物胡敏酸和富里酸 ,螯合剂EDTA和DTPA和四种简单有机酸对紫色土镉的溶出效应和吸附解吸行为的影响。结果表明 ,供试八种有机物均能显著促进镉从紫色土中的溶出。作用大小顺序为 :EDTA≥DTPA >柠檬酸 >胡敏酸 >草酸 >富里酸 >酒石酸≥水杨酸。有机物对土壤镉溶出和迁移的影响是其对土壤镉吸附和解吸综合作用的结果。有机物显著降低了紫色土对镉的吸附 ,其作用大小顺序与其对镉的溶出能力的相对大小顺序一致 ,同时也改变了吸附镉的解吸特性。有机物影响下 ,紫色土镉的吸附动力学模型以双常数方程拟合最佳。而吸附等温曲线以Freundlich方程拟合最好 ,吸附常数n与有机物对土壤镉的溶出率之间存在良好的相关性。     

The Influence of pH and Organic Matter from Sugarcane By-products on Soil Cadmium Fractionation

ABSTRACT

Crop wastes or by-products can have the potential to be used as effective amendments to improve agricultural soil quality and/or crop yields subject to appropriate screening and testing. Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) waste by-products from an ethanol production plant, including boiler ash, filter cake, and vinasse, were applied as soil amendments at 5%, 10%, 20%, and 40% (w/w) to study the relationship between pH and organic matter (OM) on cadmium (Cd) bioavailability and adsorption via organic matter using the Cd sequential extraction procedure. Soil pH was significantly affected by aging of the treatment with boiler ash, filter cake, and vinasse. At the end of the experiment, the Cd concentrations with all treatments were mainly released in the first two extraction steps of the sequential procedure, i.e., most mobile and easily mobilized fractions. Pearson correlation analyses revealed a negative relationship between pH and bioavailable Cd and between OM and oxidizable Cd. The pH reduction induced by the amendments was a major factor affecting soil Cd bioavailability. The effect of OM on Cd fractionation could not be clearly observed and interpreted in this study.     

稀土镧对镉胁迫小麦遗传学防护效应的研究

以有丝分裂指数和染色体畸变率为指标,应用水培法研究了重金属Cd对小麦幼苗的毒害及稀土La的防护效应。结果表明:Cd胁迫降低根尖细胞有丝分裂指数,增加染色体畸形率,且毒害效应与剂量和处理时间正相关。Cd胁迫下小麦根外观上呈现大量褐色斑块并伴有不同程度的扭曲,生长延缓或停滞;细胞分裂过程中表现为高频率出现的微核及染色体滞留。La对小麦幼苗Cd污染具有防护效应,可使小麦细胞有丝分裂指数升高、染色体畸变率下降,且对微核的防护效应尤其显著。

采用大田取样 ,运用连续提取方法 ,研究了河北平原潮土、潮褐土两种土壤中Cd、Pb的化学形态特征与四种土壤酶 (脲酶、H2 O2 酶、转化酶、碱性磷酸酶 )活性间的关系。结果表明 :大田两种土壤中交换态Cd、Pb对脲酶活性有显著抑制作用。因此 ,在石灰性土壤中 ,把交换态Cd、Pb和脲酶活性共同作为评价土壤Cd、Pb污染程度的主要生化指标是可行的     

Comparison of the adsorption of maize root mucilage and polygalacturonic acid on montmorillonite homoionic to divalent lead and cadmium

Summary Root mucilage material (RM) was isolated from maize plants grown in the field, and its affinity to montmorillonite (M) homoionic to Pb²⁺ and Cd²⁺ was compared with that of a commercial polygalacturonic acid (PGA). Adsorption isotherms of the commercial and natural materials on the two clay systems were compared in unbuffered systems at pH 3 and pH 6. Adsorption of PGA occurred only at pH 3, and was higher on M-Pb than on M-Cd. In contrast, the adsorption of RM was higher on M-Cd than on M-Pb. Total amounts of RM adsorbed at pH 3 were about 3 times lower on M-Cd and 20 times lower on M-Pb than the respective amounts of PGA adsorbed at the same pH. Polygalacturonic acid had a high content of relatively well dissociated (pKa = 3.5) carboxylic groups, and adsorbed on the clay surface at pH values lower than its pKa. At pH 6, the dissociation of the acid groups favoured its solubility, and the metal cations were then probably displaced by ion exchange. The lower affinity of RM to the clay materials was related to its average molecular weight, which was lower than that of PGA, and to its water solubility, which was higher than that of PGA. The low pH dependence of the adsorption of RM was related to its lower carboxylic acidity and higher content in hydroxyl and amino groups.     

Hydrolase activity, microbial biomass and community structure in long-term Cd-contaminated soils

Long-term effects of high Cd concentrations on enzyme activities, microbial biomass and respiration and bacterial community structure of soils were assessed in sandy soils where Cd was added between 1988 and 1990 as Cd(NO₃)₂ to reach concentrations ranging from 0 to 0.36 mmol Cd kg⁻¹ dry weight soil. Soils were mantained under maize and grass cultivation, or ‘set-aside’ regimes, for 1 year. Solubility of Cd and its bioavailability were measured by chemical extractions or by the BIOMET bacterial biosensor system. Cadmium solubility was very low, and Cd bioavailability was barely detectable even in soils polluted with 0.36 mmol Cd kg⁻¹. Soil microbial biomass carbon (B_C) was slightly decreased and respiration was increased significantly even at the lower Cd concentration and as a consequence the metabolic quotient (qCO₂) was increased, indicating a stressful condition for soil microflora. However, Cd-contaminated soils also had a lower total organic C (TOC) content and thus the microbial biomass C-to-TOC ratio was unaffected by Cd. Alkaline phosphomonoesterase, arylsulphatase and protease activities were significantly reduced in all Cd-contaminated soils whereas acid phosphomonoesterase, β-glucosidase and urease activites were unaffected by Cd. Neither changes in physiological groups of bacteria, nor of Cd resistant bacteria could be detected in numbers of the culturable bacterial community. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analysis of the bacterial community showed slight changes in maize cropped soils containing 0.18 and 0.36 mmol Cd kg⁻¹ soil as compared to the control. It was concluded that high Cd concentrations induced mainly physiological adaptations rather than selection for metal-resistant culturable soil microflora, regardless of Cd concentration, and that some biochemical parameters were more sensitive to stress than others.
