Phytoextractability of Cd from Soil by Some Oilseed Species as Affected by Sewage Sludge and Farmyard Manure

A pot experiment was conducted on cadmium (Cd)–enriched (0, 40, 80, 120, 160 mg Cd kg^?1 soil, using CdCl₂), untreated (Unamended), 3% sewage sludge–treated (SS-amended), and 3% farmyard manure–treated (FYM-amended) soils to evaluate the phytoextractibility of Cd by three oilseed crop species (viz., Brassica juncea, Brassica napus, and Eruca sativa). Visual observation showed that at or above 40 ppm Cd, some light chlorotic symptoms, resembling iron (Fe) chlorosis, appeared after 2 to 3 weeks of germination. The extent of chlorosis followed the order Eruca sativa > Brassica napus > Brassica juncea, and for amendment treatments Unamended > SS-amended > FYM-amended soils. Both the amendments resulted in an increased biomass production in comparison to the Unamended soil, with the effect being more pronounced for FYM. The dry-matter yield of different plant parts followed the order FYM-amended > SS-amended > Unamended soils. For plant species, it followed the order Brassica juncea > Brassica napus > Eruca sativa. The Cd concentration in different plant parts followed the order leaf > stem > seed in all the three species. Amongst the species, the concentration followed the order Brassica napus > Brassica juncea > Eruca sativa, and for amendment treatments SS-amended > Unamended > FYM-amended soils. The mean Cd uptake by different plant species followed the order Brassica juncea > Brassica napus > Eruca sativa, and for amendment treatments SS-amended soil > Unamended soil > FYM-amended soil. The amounts of exchangeable, carbonate bound, Fe-Mn oxide bound, and organic-matter-bound fractions of Cd in the postharvest soil samples increased with the addition of Cd in soil. However, the residual fraction did not change much. At comparable levels of Cd additions, application of sewage sludge as well as FYM resulted in decreases in the exchangeable and Fe-Mn oxide–bound fractions and an increase in the organic-matter-bound fraction. The beneficial effect of sewage sludge and FYM on biomass production was attributed to (i) improvement in the physicochemical and biological environment of the growth medium, (ii) additional supply of essential nutrients, and (iii) possible decrease in toxic effect of added Cd through organo-metallic complexation reactions.     

Mechanisms of cadmium accumulation in rice grains and molecular breeding for its reduction

ABSTRACT

Cadmium (Cd) has an important impact on agriculture, as the excessive consumption of this element from contaminated food crops leads to toxicity in humans. Rice is the greatest source of dietary Cd intake in populations consuming rice as a staple food. Therefore, reducing the Cd concentration of rice grains for diminishing the potential risk of Cd for human health is a major challenge. This review summarizes the main achievements on Cd accumulation in rice by our research group. Using a positron-emitting tracer imaging system, we succeeded to visualize differences in real-time Cd dynamics from roots to panicles in rice varieties with different Cd accumulation abilities. Several loci or genes responsible for Cd accumulation in rice were found through quantitative trait loci (QTLs) analysis. Using the QTL qCdp7 responsible for efficiently extracting Cd from paddy soils, practical rice varieties for Cd-phytoextraction were developed by DNA marker-assisted breeding. A rice variety named ‘Koshihikari Kan No.1? carrying a mutant allele of OsNramp5 for reducing Cd concentration in rice grains was produced by mutant breeding with ion-beams, and breeding programs have been implemented to transfer this allele into many Japanese rice varieties by DNA marker-assisted breeding. Growing low-Cd varieties aerobically would be a feasible way to simultaneously reduce inorganic arsenic and Cd concentrations in rice grains. These results provide basis for reducing Cd concentration in rice through breeding new varieties.     

不同钝化剂配施硫酸锌对石灰性土壤中镉生物有效性的影响研究

为了降低轻度镉(Cd)污染土壤中Cd的生物有效性以确保农产品安全,以低吸收豆类蔬菜(豇豆)作为供试植物,通过田间试验研究了在轻度Cd污染(Cd1.5 mg·kg-1)石灰性土壤中施加赤泥、油菜秸秆、玉米秸秆、赤泥+油菜秸秆等钝化处理并配施硫酸锌肥料对土壤中Cd的生物有效性的影响.结果表明,与对照相比,不同钝化处理可显著(P＜O.05)降低豇豆豆角中Cd浓度和土壤中可溶态Cd浓度;钝化处理条件下豇豆豆角中Cd浓度降低了27％(玉米秸秆)～83％(赤泥+油菜秸秆).在施加钝化剂的基础上,配施硫酸锌肥料可进一步降低豇豆对Cd的吸收,各钝化处理在配施锌肥后,豇豆豆角中Cd平均浓度与未施锌肥相比降低了27％.对不同作物秸秆而言,富含巯基的油菜秸秆比富含纤维素的玉米秸秆钝化效果好.由此可见,在轻度Cd污染的石灰性土壤中,无机钝化剂赤泥和富含巯基的油菜秸秆复合使用是一种高效且环境友好的钝化手段.同时,合理施用锌肥可能会进一步降低作物对Cd的吸收.

Zn超富集植物长柔毛委陵菜对Cd的耐性与富集特征

通过野外调查和营养液培养,证明Zn超富集植物长柔毛委陵菜(Potentilla griffithii var.velutina)无论在自然条件下还是营养液培养条件下,都对Cd具有很强的耐性和富集能力,是一种潜在的重金属Cd超富集植物。自然条件下生长于铅锌矿区的长柔毛委陵菜,其根系土壤Cd总量为101～1331mg·kg-1,平均320mg·kg-1;植物Cd含量叶片为39～765mg·kg-1,平均178mg·kg-1,叶柄为64～1422mg·kg-1,平均280mg·kg-1;Cd转运系数为0.64～1.18,平均值0.84;生物富集系数为0.22～1.68,平均0.80。营养液培养条件下,长柔毛委陵菜在Cd浓度≤20mg·L-1的介质中能够正常生长;植物叶片、叶柄及根部Cd含量随介质中Cd浓度的增大而增大,叶和柄中Cd含量在60mg·L-1的Cd处理时都达到最大,分别为1604和6145mg·kg-1;不同组织的Cd含量顺序为根>柄>叶;体内累积的Cd有60%以上储存在地上部。营养液培养的Cd转运系数小于自然状况。     

硒对水稻镉毒性的影响及其机制的研究

为探究外源四价硒[Se(Ⅳ)]对水稻镉(Cd)吸收和分布的影响,采用水培试验方法,参考稻田土壤淹水后硒的主要存在形态,研究外源Se(Ⅳ)对不同浓度Cd处理下水稻Cd吸收、转运的影响及其解毒机制。结果表明,在低浓度Cd处理(0.5μmol·L-1)下,外源Se(Ⅳ)对水稻Cd的积累和分布影响不显著,但在高浓度Cd处理(5.0μmol·L-1)下,外源Se(Ⅳ)会显著降低水稻对Cd的吸收和转运。不同浓度Cd处理均会增加水稻对Se的吸收,影响Se在水稻体内的分布,并且显著减少Se向地上部的转运。Cd、Se复合处理会导致水稻地下部非蛋白巯基(NPT)含量增加,同时改变Cd在地下部的亚细胞分布,使细胞壁组分的Cd含量上升,细胞可溶物质组分和细胞器组分的Cd含量下降,从而减少Cd向茎叶的转运,降低地上部的膜脂过氧化程度。由于试验所选用的水稻品种对Cd、Se抗性较强,不同处理下水稻地上部抗氧化酶活性与总抗氧化容量差异均不显著,且水稻生物量及表型特征也无显著差异。

不同浓度的镉离子(Cd2+)对小麦种子萌发的影响

以温麦6号为材料,探讨了不同浓度的重金属镉(Cd2 )对小麦种子萌发及根、芽生长的影响。结果表明:Cd2 对小麦种子萌发有较大的抑制作用;Cd2 浓度低于5mg/L时,能在一定程度上刺激小麦种子的萌发,小麦种子的发芽率和根数也略有增加;当Cd2 浓度大于5mg/L时,对小麦种子的萌发表现出明显的抑制效应,随Cd2 浓度的增加,幼根和幼芽的长度逐渐变短,芽重和根重明显下降,活力指数显著降低。此外,高浓度的Cd2 (50mg/L)引起小麦幼根根尖变褐,呈现中毒反应。     

不同有机酸对小白菜镉污染毒性和品质的影响

以小白菜为试材,以贵州典型黄壤为盆栽试验基质,在黄土中共设置5个不同处理,1)原始无污染土壤(CK);2)单一镉污染土壤处理(Cd);3)镉污染土壤加草酸处理(Cd+OA);4)镉污染土壤加柠檬酸处理(Cd+CA);5)镉污染土壤加酒石酸处理(Cd+TA),探究镉胁迫下不同有机酸对提高小白菜品质的效果,以期为改善蔬菜品质提供参考依据。结果表明:外源添加镉导致小白菜单株鲜质量降低了41.1%,植株体内镉大量积累,活性氧类物质、丙二醛(MDA)和脯氨酸含量升高。与对照组相比,镉污染小白菜叶片内硝酸盐含量增加了2.9倍,维生素C和可溶性糖含量分别降低了19.3%和9.9%。在镉污染土壤上施入草酸、柠檬酸和酒石酸后均显著改善了小白菜的生长状态。与镉污染处理小白菜相比,柠檬酸对小白菜的促生效果最显著,生物量相对增加了48.5%,叶片和根的镉含量分别降低了45.3%和42.6%。酒石酸对超氧阴离子的影响大于草酸和柠檬酸,对过氧化氢和脯氨酸的影响小于草酸和柠檬酸,但草酸抑制硝酸盐积累和提高可溶性糖含量的作用大于其它有机酸。上述结果说明,在镉污染土壤施用柠檬酸可以有效缓解镉对小白菜的毒害作用,提高小白菜的产量和品质。     

硫酸盐对锌和镉在可变电荷土壤上吸附的影响

SO4^2- and Zn^2 or Cd^2 were added to three variable charge soils in different sequences.In one sequence sulfate was added first ,and in the other,Zn^2 or Cd^2 first.The addition of sulfate to the system invariably caused an increase in adsorption of the heavy metal added,with the effect more remarkable whn the soil reacted with the sulfate prior to the metal.the shift in pH50 for both Zn and Cd adsorption was aslo comparatively larger in the first sequence of reactions .It was suggested that the increase in negative charge density and the resultant negative potential of the soil were the primary cause of the pronounced effect of sulfate on adsorption of Zn or Cd,and the formaiton of the ternary surface complex-S-SO4-M might also play a role in the effect.
