Vegetative Growth,Yield and Leaf Mineral Composition in Strawberry (Fragaria × Ananassa DUCH. CV. Pajaro) as Influenced using Nickel Sulfate and Urea Sprays

In this study, interactions of nickel sulfate and urea sprays on vegetative growth, yield and leaf mineral contents in strawberry were investigated. Rooted Pajaro strawberry plants were potted in 3 liter pots filled with soil, leaf mold and sand (1:1:1, v/v/v). Established plants were foliar sprayed with nickel sulfate at 0, 150, 300 and 450 mg L^?1 and urea 0 and 2 g L^?1 concentrations. Results indicated that nickel (Ni; 300 mg L^?1) plus urea (2 g L^?1) significantly increased the yield and runner numbers. Nickel sulfate at the rate of 300 and 150 mg L^?1and urea (2 g L^?1) significantly increased the crown numbers. The greatest root fresh and dry weights were obtained from untreated plants. Urea at 2 g L^?1 without nickel significantly increased shoot fresh and dry weights. Nickel at 450 mg L^?1 without urea significantly increased Ni concentration in leaves. Overall, nickel sulfate at 150 and 300 mg L^?1 along with urea at 2 g L^?1 were the best treatments.     

不同浓度镍对水稻种子萌发及其生理特性的影响

为了解不同浓度镍处理下种子的萌发情况,和抗氧化酶的活性变化以及两者间的可能联系,以湘晚灿15－1种子为材料,经0．25～1．00μmolL的硝酸镍浸种后,发现发芽率、发芽指数、活力指数降低,平均发芽日数延长,幼根、芽生长阻滞,生物量减小,表明种子萌发和幼苗生长受抑。各浓度的硝酸抑制种子中SOD,CAT和POX活力（除0．25,0．50μmolL的硝酸镍处理下,POX活性上升外）,MDA含量升高,电解质外渗率增大。     

基于DGT技术分析土壤重金属Cd、Ni的老化特征

为明确重金属在土壤中的老化进程,锁定关键影响因子,采用梯度扩散薄膜(DGT)技术探究了外源添加Cd和Ni两种重金属在6种不同类型土壤中的老化特性,并探讨了影响重金属老化过程的关键因子。结果表明:Cd、Ni在不同土壤中的老化过程差异性明显,Ni比Cd更易老化。进入土壤中的重金属老化过程大致分为3个阶段,添加后20～30 d为快速老化阶段,30～60 d为缓慢老化期,除个别高污染土壤外,其余土壤均在60 d后基本达到平衡。数据分析结果表明,6种土壤中Cd、Ni的老化平衡浓度由初始浓度决定,初始浓度、CEC等因子为影响Cd、Ni老化速率的主控因素。DGT作为一种原位、非破坏性、不引入外源离子的监测技术,可以动态展示土壤外源添加重金属在老化过程中的活性变化,对评估土壤重金属污染风险具有重要参考价值。     

Tolerance of rice plants to trace metals

Abstract

The tolerance of rice (Oryza sativa L. C.V. Earlirose) to various trace metal excesses was tested to determine if high levels of the trace metals found in some field‐grown plants were at toxicity levels. In one experiment, levels of 2200 μg Zn/g dry weight, 44 μg Cu/g dry weight, 4400 μg Mn/g dry weight, and 32 μg Pb/g dry weight in shoots of young plants had no adverse effects on vegetative yields. A level of 3160μgZn/ g dry weight decreased yields about 40% (P = . 05). In another test 51 μg Cu/g dry weight or 94 μg Pb/g dry weight did not decrease vegetative yields. Boron supplied at 10^‐3 MH₃BO₃ not only caused no toxicity but resulted in only 144 μg B/g dry weight in shoots. Root levels of Zn were about equal to those in shoots; Mn levels were lower in roots than in shoots (1/4 to 1/10); B levels were generally low in both shoots and roots with roots 1/10 that of shoots; Cu levels were higher in roots than in shoots. Rice was tolerant of a high level of Cr. The tolerance of rice to high levels of some trace metals in these experiments may be related to high P levels in plants.     

Evaluation of Toxicity Level of Nickel on Growth,Photosynthetic Efficiency,Antioxidative Enzyme,and Its Accumulation in Cauliflower

A study was conducted to determine the toxicity level of nickel using cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L. var. botrytis) cv. Snowball grown in refined sand with complete nutrient solution for 79 days. At day 80, plants were separated into three lots. One lot was treated as the control (0.0001 mM Ni) while other two lots were supplied with excess nickel (Ni) at 0.1 and 0.5 mM. The toxicity symptoms of Ni appeared as chlorosis of young leaves. No curd was formed at 0.5 mM Ni supply. Excess Ni decreased biomass, chlorophyll, Hill reaction activity, and carbohydrate fraction, and enzyme activities of catalase, peroxidase, and acid phosphatase in leaves. Excess Ni increased concentration of starch, phenol, and nonprotein nitrogen and decreased protein nitrogen in leaves. Increase in Ni supply increased Ni concentration in all parts of cauliflower, whereas the concentration of phosphorus, sulfur, iron, and manganese decreased significantly.     

UV/Fenton法处理低浓度含镍络合废水研究

为了有效去除低浓度含镍络合废水中的镍离子(Ni~(2+)),探究影响Ni~(2+)去除效果的因素和方法,通过改变低浓度溶液中沉淀pH值、H_2O_2与Fe~(2+)摩尔比、H_2O_2投加量、初始pH值和反应时间,基于UV/Fenton法,研究了以上各因素对Ni~(2+)去除效果的影响及机理;同时比较UV/Fenton法与Fenton法对Ni~(2+)的去除效果,自配含有典型络合剂的镀镍模拟废水,酒石酸∶柠檬酸∶乙二胺四乙酸∶镍(摩尔比)为1.5∶2∶1.5∶1,Ni~(2+)含量5 mg/L,pH 4.0;光催化实验在光化学反应仪中进行,反应系统由循环水冷却,维持温度在(32±2)℃,光强度为12.7 mW/cm~2。50 mL的石英管中依次加入模拟络合镍废水和一定量的Fenton试剂,100 W中压汞灯光照下进行连续磁力搅拌;光照一定时间后,NaOH调节pH至11.0,离心后取上清液测定镍含量,测定方法采用火焰原子吸收分光光度计。结果显示,UV/Fenton法去除Ni~(2+)的最佳反应条件为初始pH值2.6左右,H_2O_2∶Fe~(2+)(摩尔比)为3∶1,H_2O_2投加量为3 mmol/L,反应时间为1 h,沉淀pH值为11.0,Ni~(2+)去除率可达98%以上。研究表明,增大沉淀pH值、合理控制H_2O_2浓度、增加反应时间,可提高低浓度镍络合物中Ni~(2+)的去除效果;相较于单一Fenton法,采用UV/Fenton法可更好的去除低浓度镍络合物中的Ni~(2+)。     

基于RS和GIS的石亭江中下游土壤铅和镍含量预测建模研究

为了快速高效地获取区域土壤重金属含量数据,利用石亭江流域中下游Landsat 7 ETM+遥感影像及70个样点土壤表层(0~20 cm)重金属铅镍含量和地面数据建立预测模型并进行了空间反演。结果表明,仅用波段像元灰度值建立的土壤铅镍含量预测模型均达极显著水平(P=0.000),表明遥感图像的波段光谱信息能用于土壤铅镍含量的预测建模。在分别引入成土母质、海拔高度或pH等地面辅助因子后,铅镍含量预测模型确定系数R2明显增大(P=0.000),铅预测模型R2从0.276分别提高到0.571和0.606,镍预测模型R2从0.304分别提高到0.513和0.551,表明地面辅助因子能有效改善模型精度。与实测值分布图比较,最优模型预测反演图能较好地表现区域土壤铅镍含量分布的基本格局,但对于个别特殊值区域的反演效果仍有待进一步提高。     

Response of microbial communities to phytoremediation of nickel contaminated soils

Through pot experiment, effects of phytoremediation on microbial communities in soils at different nickel treatment levels were studied. Two Ni hyperaccumulating and one Ni tolerant species were planted in paddy soils different in Ni concentration, ranging from 100 to 1 600 mg/kg. After 110 days of incubation, soil microbial activities were analyzed. Results showed that populations of bacteria, fungus, and actinomycetes and biomass of the microorganisms were stimulated when nickel was added at a rate of 100 mg/kg in non-rhizospheric soil. When the rate was over 100 mg/kg in the soil, adverse effects on the soil microbial communities were observed. The plantation of Ni hyperaccumulating species could increase both the population and biomass of soil microorganisms, because, by absorbing nickel from the soil and excreting root exudates, the plants reduced nickel toxicity and improved the living environment of the microbes. However, different plant species had different effects on microorganisms in soil. Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) with five primers was used in this study in 25 soil samples of four types of soils. A total of 947 amplified bands were obtained, including 888 polymorphic bands and 59 non-polymorphic bands. The results indicated that the composition of microbial DNA sequences had changed because of the addition of nickel to the treated soils. Shannon-Weaver index of soil microbial DNA sequences reduced in the nickel contaminated soils with increasing nickel concentration. The changes in Shannon-Weaver index in the four types of soils ranged from 1.65 to 2.32 for Alyssum corsicum, 1.37 to 2.27 for Alyssum murale, 1.37 to 1.96 for Brassica juncea, and 1.19 to 1.85 for nonrhizospheric soil. With the same amount of nickel added to soils, the Shannon-Weaver index in rhizospheric soil with plants was higher than that in non-rhizospheric soil.

Orbital malignant schwannoma and embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma in rats caused by leakage of locally injected nickel subsulfide to the orbit

Nickel subsulfide (Ni₃S₂) is known to induce intraocular neoplasms when injected intravitreally into the eyes of rats. Here, we found two extraocular orbital neoplasms in two different rat strains, presumably due to the leakage of locally injected Ni₃S₂ to the extraocular orbital tissues. In the F344/DuCrlCrlj rat, an orbital mass arose at 30 weeks after injection, and invaded into the cranium. Histologically, the orbital mass was composed of areas arranged in parallel bundles formed by densely packed elongated or spindle-shaped cells with indistinct cytoplasmic borders, and of areas of hypocellular arrangement consisting of round cells in eosinophilic myxoid-like substances. Metastases were observed in the right submandibular and cervical lymph nodes. The neoplastic cells were immunopositive for S-100 protein and vimentin. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the neoplastic cells had cellular processes and pericytoplasmic basal laminae. In the RccHan^TM:WIST rat, an orbital mass arose at 36 weeks after injection. Histologically, the mass consisted of rhabdoid-like large round cells with proliferation of small round-to-polygonal cells, and these neoplastic cells infiltrated into the extraocular muscles. Immunohistochemically, the neoplastic cells were positive for desmin and vimentin. Transmission electron microscopy detected immature myofibrils with Z-band structures in the cytoplasm of these neoplastic cells. Consequently, the tumors were diagnosed as an orbital malignant schwannoma in an F344/DuCrlCrlj rat and an orbital embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma in a RccHan^TM:WIST rat. The results of this case report suggest that leakage of Ni₃S₂ to the orbit caused the induction of orbital malignant schwannoma or rhabdomyosarcoma in rats.
