Phytoremediation is a potential cleanup technology for the removal of heavy metals from contaminated soils. Bidens maximowicziana is a new Pb hyperaccumulator, which not only has remarkable tolerance to Pb but also extraordinary accumulation capacity for Pb. The maximum Pb concentration was 1509.3 mg/kg in roots and 2164.7 mg/kg in overground tissues. The Pb distribution order in the B. maximowicziana was: leaf > stem > root. The effect of amendments on phytoremediation was also studied. The mobility of soil Pb and the Pb concentrations in plants were both increased by EDTA application. Compared with CK (control check), EDTA application promoted translocation of Pb to overground parts of the plant. The Pb concentrations in overground parts of plants was increased from 24.23–680.56 mg/kg to 29.07–1905.57 mg/kg. This research demonstrated that B. maximowicziana appeared to be suitable for phytoremediation of Pb contaminated soil, especially, combination with EDTA.     

Physiological responses and detoxific mechanisms to Pb, Zn, Cu and Cd in young seedlings of Paulownia fortunei

Paulownia fortunei has been successfully used in the phytoremediation of many Pb/Zn mine tailings. However, seed germination and young seedlings of P. fortunei rarely occurred in these mine tailings. The physiological responses and detoxific mechanisms of P. fortunei young seedling to Pb, Zn, Cu and Cd stress were investigated. The germinated rate, shoot length, chlorophyll and carotenoid contents in leaves of young seedlings had a great reduction under Zn and Cu treatments, but had little decrease under Pb and Cd treatments. The production rate of O₂^•−, H₂O₂ and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents significantly increased in response to added Zn and Cu indicating great oxidative stress for young seedlings, but they had no significant change to added Pb and Cd. Young seedlings had effective detoxific mechanism to Pb and Cd, as antioxidant enzymes activities, phytochelatins (PCs-SH) and proline contents increased with increasing rates of added Pb and Cd. However, young seedlings had un-effective detoxific mechanisms to Zn and Cu stress. Results revealed the heavy metals (such as Cu) that present at low concentrations in mine tailings may be major constraint for the survival of young seedlings.     

水培条件下秋华柳对重金属Cd的富集特性及光合响应

采用水培试验的方法,研究了不同Cd胁迫浓度〔ρ(Cd2+)分别为0、1、5、10和20 mg/L〕下秋华柳的生长、光合耐性及其对Cd的富集特性和转移能力.结果表明:①随着Cd胁迫浓度的升高,秋华柳生长所受到的抑制程度有所增加.除20 mg/L处理组外,其余各处理组的耐性指数(TI)均大于70,表现出较高的耐性.②低Cd胁迫浓度(1 mg/L)下秋华柳具有较好的光合耐性,当Cd胁迫浓度达到20 mg/L时,秋华柳的光合系统才受到明显影响.③秋华柳对外源Cd的富集能力较强,随着Cd胁迫浓度的升高,秋华柳所积累的Cd显著增加且主要积累于根部,表现为叶<茎<根.当Cd胁迫浓度小于5 mg/L时,秋华柳根部吸收的Cd向地上部分转移的效果较好.试验显示,秋华柳对于较低Cd胁迫浓度(≤10 mg/L)具有较好的耐受性和富集能力,可用于三峡库区消落带表层土壤Cd污染严重区域进行植物修复.      

模拟酸雨和Pb复合污染对芥菜型油菜的生理特性和Pb富集的影响

通过盆栽试验研究了模拟酸雨（pH分别为3.5、4.5、5.6）和Pb(0~2000 mg·kg-1）复合污染对芥菜型油菜紫叶芥的生理特性和Pb富集的影响.结果表明,在酸雨和Pb复合污染下,紫叶芥生物量和叶绿素含量均有不同程度的下降,叶和根中的超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）和过氧化物酶（POD）活性随着Pb含量和酸雨强度的增加是先升后降,脯氨酸含量随着Pb含量和酸雨强度的增加而升高.芥菜型油菜以通过调节抗氧化酶系统和提高脯氨酸含量来应对酸雨和重金属胁迫,芥菜型油菜对酸雨和Pb的复合污染有很强的耐受能力.芥菜型油菜根和地上部分Pb含量随Pb处理含量水平的增大而增加,其中,根对Pb的富集能力大于地上部分,酸雨能够促进芥菜型油菜对Pb的吸收.因此,在酸雨地区可以选用芥菜型油菜作为Pb污染土壤的修复植物.     

EDTA对2种芥菜型油菜幼苗富集Pb的效应

采用水培试验,研究了乙二胺四乙酸(EDTA)对Pb胁迫下2种芥菜型油菜(BrassicajunceaCzern.etCoss.)幼苗生长及富集Pb的效应.结果表明,单独用0.5和1.0mmol/LPb或EDTA处理可显著抑制植株的生长.与单独处理相比,Pb和EDTA复合处理可以降低各自的生物毒性.当Pb和EDTA等浓度复合处理时,植株生物量与对照植株无明显差异,说明游离态Pb或EDTA对幼苗具有毒害作用,而螯合态Pb-EDTA基本不具有生物毒性.EDTA处理促进Pb从根系向地上部运输,促进Pb在地上部积累.当c(EDTA)/c(Pb)为1/2时,地上部铅积累总量达到最高.随c(EDTA)的增加,根系铅积累总量反而下降.2个芥菜型油菜品种对EDTA的处理效应表现极为相似,生物量大的品种具有较高的Pb积累总量.      

The effects of exogenous salicylic acid on growth and H2O2-metabolizing enzymes in rice seedlings under lead stress

Salicylic acid （SA） was an essential component of the plant resistance to pathogens and also plays an important role in mediating plant response to some abiotic stress. The possible effects of SA on the growth and H2O2-metabolizing enzymes in rice seedlings under lead stress were studied. When rice seedlings grown in nutrient solution containing Pb^2＋ （0, 0.05, 0.15, 0.25 mmol/L） for 18 d, the plant biomass as well as the chlorophyll content of leaves decreased with increasing Pb concentration. The pre-treatment with SA （treated with 0.1 mmol/L SA for 48 h before Pb stress） partially protected seedlings from Pb toxicity. The chlorophyll contents were significant higher in leaves of Pb-exposed with SA pre-treatment seedlings than in Pb-exposed plants at the same Pb intensity. SA pre-treated alone could significantly increase the length of shoot and root of seedlings but the vigour difference was not marked under long-term exposure to Pb toxicity. SA pre-treated influence the H2O2 level in leaves of seedlings by up-regulating the activity of superoxide dismutase （SOD）, repressing the activity of catalase （CAT） and ascorbate peroxidase （APX） depending on the concentrations of Pb^2＋ in the growth medium. The results supported the conclusion that SA played a positive role in rice seedlings against Pb toxicity.     

改良铅锌矿渣对栾树幼苗铅锌富集与耐性机制

植物修复是尾矿区恢复的一项生态技术,添加基质改良剂可以减轻重金属对植物的胁迫,提高修复效率.以木本植物栾树（Koelreuteria paniculata）作为供试植物,分别在100%尾矿（S）、90%的尾矿+5%蘑菇渣（SMC）+5% CaCO₃（MS）和天然红壤（RS）中进行盆栽试验.探究不同处理下栾树耐受Pb和Zn的生长富集效应、微观特征变化和基质中微生物多样性变化.结果表明,改良剂的添加相比于尾矿可以显著改善尾矿基质的理化结构,显著提升栾树的生物量、株高和叶绿素含量等相关生理指标,增加栾树中积累的重金属含量.处理组MS相较于对照组RS总根长增长达到69.3%,而对照组RS平均根径相较于对照组S下降118.7%.处理组MS与对照组S相比,Pb和Zn残渣态增加266.67%,弱酸可提取态和氧化物结合态显著降低,重金属对于植株迁移活性减弱.同时,多数重金属被栾树截留在根部,其根系构型的变化表明其在面对高浓度的Pb胁迫时具有较强的适应性.透射电镜（TEM）分析表明,对照组S中较高浓度的重金属含量会破坏细胞壁结构,对植物细胞造成毒害.改良剂的添加有效缓解了重金属胁迫对栾树各组织的影响,影响微生物群落的结构,显著提高微生物丰富度和多样性,增强栾树对重金属的适应性和植物修复能力.     

镉超富集植物球果菜对镉-砷复合污染的反应及其吸收积累特征

采用室外盆栽模拟方法,比较和分析了镉（Cd）-砷（As）复合污染处理对球果菜（Rorippa globosa,十字花科焊菜属,1种从农田杂草中新发现的镉超富集植物）的生长及其对Cd、As吸收和积累特征的影响.结果表明,在低浓度Cd-As复合污染条件下,由于Cd、As的拮抗作用,从而促进植物的生长发育,同时也促进地上部对Cd的吸收和积累.在Cd-As复合污染处理浓度为10 mg/kg和50 mg/kg时,株高和地上部干重达到最大（分别为35.9 cm和2.2 g/盆）,叶片中Cd积累量高于同浓度单一Cd处理.Cd-As复合污染高浓度处理表现出对球果菜生长以及Cd的吸收和积累有协同的抑制作用.同时,球果菜根部对As的吸收能力大于其地上部,相应的富集系数≤0.3,转移系数≤0.6,说明球果菜对As有一定的排斥作用.这些结果表明,球果菜有很强的忍耐Cd-As复合污染的能力,对修复Cd-As复合污染土壤具有一定的潜力.     

铜在拔节期小麦中的亚细胞分布

为了解小麦对Cu的解毒及耐性机制,通过盆栽试验并采用差速离心法研究了Cu在拔节期小麦根和叶片中的亚细胞分布。研究表明,在Cu胁迫下根和叶亚细胞组分中Cu含量随胁迫浓度的升高呈上升趋势,Cu主要富集在小麦根部,向地上叶片中输送较少,小麦根部Cu含量是叶片中的1.7~4.1倍。细胞质可溶性部分和细胞壁是Cu在小麦细胞内分布的主要位点,分别占总量的36%~81%和14%~48%,细胞器中分布较少,提高Cu胁迫浓度增强了细胞质可溶性部分对Cu的区隔化作用,减弱了细胞壁对Cu的固持作用,同时减少了Cu在细胞器中的分布;叶片细胞壁对Cu的固定作用较强,根部细胞质可溶性部分对Cu的区隔化作用较强。分析表明,细胞壁的沉淀和细胞质的区隔化作用对小麦对Cu的耐性起着重要的作用。     

Influences of excessive Cu on photosynthesis and growth in ectomycorrhizal Pinus sylvestris seedlings

Growth and photosynthesis responses were measured for Scots pine( Pinus sylvestris L. cv. ) inoculated with ectomycorrhizal fungi ( Suillus bovinus ) under 6.5 and 25 mg/L Cu treatments to evaluate ectomycorrhizal seedlings‘ tolerance to heavy metal stress. Results showed that excessive Cu can significantly impair the growth and photosynthesis of pine seedlings, but such impairment is much smaller to the ectomycorrhizal seedlings. Under 25mg/L Cu treatment, the dry weight of ectomycorrhizal seedlings is 25% lower than the control in contrary to 53% of the non-mycorrhizal seedlings, and the fresh weight of ectomycorrhizal roots was significantly higher than those of non-mycorrhizal roots, about 25% and 42% higher at 6.5 and 25 mg/L Cu treatments respectively. Furthermore,ectomycorrhizal fungi induced remarkable difference in the growth rate and pigment content of seedlings under excessive Cu stress. At 2.5 mg/L Cu, the contents of total chlorophyll, chlorophyll-a and chlorophyll-b were 30% higher in ectomycorrhizal plants than those in non-mycorrhizal plants. O2 evolution and electron transport of PSI and PSII were restrained by elevated Cu stress. However, no significant improvement was observed in reducing the physiological restraining in ectomycorrhizal seedlings over the non-mycorrhizal ones.     

模拟三峡库区消落带优势植物根系低分子量有机酸对土壤中铅的解吸动力学

三峡库区消落带落干期时会生长大量植被,其根系分泌的低分子量有机酸会对消落带土壤中重金属的活化带来一定影响,为此,本研究通过水培法以及利用去离子水直接浸提其根际土测出三峡库区优势植物狗牙根和稗草根系分泌的低分子量有机酸种类和含量,并模拟优势植物所分泌的单一有机酸和混合有机酸分别对消落带土壤中的铅(Pb)进行解吸,探究其对消落带土壤中铅的解吸动力学.结果表明,狗牙根根系分泌的低分子量有机酸种类和含量均大于稗草,其中柠檬酸、丙二酸、乙酸、苹果酸是两种植株根系均分泌的有机酸,且乙酸含量最高,分别为0.765 mmol·kg-1、0.261 mmol·kg-1,而在狗牙根和稗草根际土中均检测到柠檬酸、丙二酸、乙酸;选取柠檬酸、丙二酸、乙酸对消落带土壤中铅进行解吸时,发现当有机酸浓度≤1 mmol·L~(-1)时,有机酸解吸量由高到低为:丙二酸柠檬酸乙酸;而当有机酸浓度1 mmol·L~(-1)时,有机酸解吸量由高到低为:柠檬酸丙二酸乙酸,且低分子量有机酸在土壤中含量低时,抑制土壤对Pb的解吸;含量高时,促进土壤对Pb的解吸.在解吸过程中,0~240 min为快反应阶段,240 min后为慢反应阶段,准二级动力学方程拟合效果最好.     

Soluble protein and acid phosphatase exuded by ectomycorrhizal fungi and seedlings in response to excessive Cu and Cd

Fungi and their symbionts can alleviate heavy metal stress by exuding soluble proteins and enzymes. This study examined the role of soluble protein and acid phosphatase (APase) exuded by Xerocomus chrysenteron, an ectomycorrhizal fungus, and the seedlings of its symbiont, Chinese pine (Pinus tabulaeformis), under conditions of excessive Cu and Cd. The growth type showed that this poorly studied ectomycorrhizal fungus was capable of tolerating high concentrations of Cu, and may be useful in phytoremediation. X. chrysenteron grew well at 80 mg/L Cu, and the EC50 for Cd was 17.82 mg/L. X. chrysenteron also showed enhanced exudation of soluble protein in both isolated and inoculated cultivations under the influence of Cu and Cd. Soluble protein exudation, however, di ered under Cu and Cd stress in isolates. In mediums containing Cu, soluble protein exudation increased with concentration, but in mediums containing Cd the content of soluble protein increased to a comparable level at all concentrations. This study demonstrated that soluble protein was related to heavy metal tolerance, although the di erent ions played di erent roles. While APase activity in exudates of fungi and seedlings decreased under Cu and Cd stress in comparison to the control, the APase activity in seedlings was maintained by inoculation. Thus, X. chrysenteron facilitated the ability of plant to maintain a normal nutrient uptake, and therefore to protect it from heavy metal toxicity.     

Evaluation of antioxidant enzymes activities and identification of intermediate products during phytoremediation of an anionic dye (C. I. Acid Blue 92) by pennywort (Hydrocotyle vulgaris)

The potential of pennywort(Hydrocotyle vulgaris)for phytoremediation of C.I.Acid Blue 92(AB92)was evaluated.The efects of various experimental parameters including pH,temperature,dye concentration and plant weight on dye removal efciency were investigated.The results showed that the optimal condition for dye removal were pH 3.5 and temperature 25°C.Moreover,the absolute dye removal enhanced with increase in the initial dye concentration and plant weight.Pennywort showed the same removal efciency in repeated experiments(four runs)as that obtained from the first run(a 6-day period).Therefore,the ability of the plant in consecutive removal of AB92 confirmed the biodegradation process.Accordingly,a number of produced intermediate compounds were identified.The efect of treatment on photosynthesis and antioxidant defense system including superoxide dismutase,peroxidase and catalase in plant roots and leaves were evaluated.The results revealed a reduction in photosynthetic pigments content under dye treatments.Antioxidant enzyme responses showed marked variations with respect to the plant organ and dye concentration in the liquid medium.Overall,the increase in antioxidant enzyme activity under AB92 stress in the roots was much higher than that in the leaves.Nevertheless,no significant increase in malondialdehyde content was detected in roots or leaves,implying that the high efciency of antioxidant system in the elimination of reactive oxygen species.Based on these results,pennywort was founded to be a capable species for phytoremediation of AB92-contaminated water,may be efective for phytoremediation dye-contaminated polluted aquatic ecosystems.

在废弃的铅锌尾矿库进行人工植被恢复试验.对3年生15种植物重金属积累和养分吸收特性的研究表明,植物对土壤重金属和养分的吸收积累因植物种类、部位、金属种类和种植时间的不同而有显著差异.树木不同器官Pb质量浓度高低的总趋势为根〉叶〉茎,部分树种Zn质量浓度表现为叶〉根和茎;在15种参试植物中,加拿大紫荆根系Pb和Zn质量浓度均处于最高水平（分别为1 803 mg.kg-1和2 120 mg.kg-1）,盐肤木具有最高的茎枝Pb、叶片Pb和Zn质量浓度（分别为280、546和1 507 mg.kg-1）,旱柳具有最高的茎枝Zn质量浓度（729 mg.kg-1）和较高的叶片Zn质量浓度（1 153 mg.kg-1）.枫香、紫花苜蓿对Pb,旱柳、盐肤木、紫花苜蓿对Zn的转移系数TF值均〉1.植物Pb的富集系数BCF值均小于0.17,旱柳、盐肤木、紫花苜蓿Zn的BCF值达0.37～0.43.固氮植物体内N含量显著高于其它植物,火炬树、臭椿对P和夹竹桃对K的吸收积累能力强.随着种植时间的增加,植株体内有重金属质量浓度增加、营养元素含量下降的趋势.盐肤木、旱柳等重金属积累树种及紫穗槐、紫花苜蓿、截叶胡枝子、桤木等固氮植物在铅锌尾矿治理中具有应用前景.     

A proteomic analysis of rice seedlings responding to 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene stress

The proteomic analysis of rice （Oryza sativa L.） roots and leaves responding tol,2,4-trichlorobenzene （TCB） stress was carded out by two dimensional gel electrophoresis, mass spectrometric （MS）, and protein database analysis. The results showed that 5 mg/L TCB stress had a significant effect on global proteome in rice roots and leaves. The analysis of the category and function of TCB stress inducible proteins showed that different kinds of responses were produced in rice roots and leaves, when rice seedlings were exposed to 5 mg/L TCB stress. Most responses are essential for rice defending the damage of TCB stress. These responses include detoxication of toxic substances, expression of pathogenesis-related proteins, synthesis of cell wall substances and secondary compounds, regulation of protein and amino acid metabolism, activation of methionine salvage pathway, and also include osmotic regulation and phytohormone metabolism. Comparing the TCB stress inducible proteins between the two cultivars, the β-glucosidase and pathogenesis-related protein family 10 proteins were particularly induced by TCB stress in the roots of rice cultivar （Oryza sativa L.） Aizaizhan, and the glutathione S-transferase and aci-reductone dioxygenase 4 were induced in the roots of rice cultivar Shanyou 63. This may be one of the important mechanisms for Shanyou 63 having higher tolerance to TCB stress than Aizaizhan.     

香港汀角红树植物、沉积物及双壳类动物重金属含量

汀角有香港面积最大的硬底质红树林,作者调查了该红树林区沉积物、红树植物以及双壳类动物体内重金属(Cu、Pb、Zn和Ni)的含量.总体看,沉积物中重金属含量与其他地点相比较低,红树植物根际沉积物中重金属含量高于光滩.红树植物组织内重金属含量较低,体内Pb、Zn的含量均低于根际沉积物,但对Cu、Ni有一定的富集,Cu可在根部和叶内富集,而Ni只在根部富集,并束缚于此.双壳类动物对4种重金属的吸收存在较大差异,Zn、Cu的富集明显高于Pb和Ni的富集程度.5种动物中又以岩蠔最高,体内的Zn、Cu分别达到3913, 378mg/g.从重金属含量看,作为食用动物有一定的风险.     

玉米对铅胁迫的响应及体内铅化学形态研究

通过砂培试验,研究了铅(Pb)胁迫下不同品种玉米根、茎叶中Pb的化学形态变化,进一步探讨玉米耐Pb机制.结果表明,本试验中对Pb胁迫耐性最强的玉米品种为郑单958和隆平206,耐性最差的为联创5号.不同浓度Pb胁迫下玉米根、茎叶中Pb主要以无毒的醋酸提取态和盐酸提取态为主,比例高达60%~87%,这一比例根部略高于茎叶;而活性较强的乙醇提取态和水提取态Pb含量两者合计所占比例为6%~20%.100 mg·L-1Pb胁迫下隆平206茎叶中Pb的乙醇和水提取态合计值最低(0.52 mg·kg-1),其次是郑单958(0.93 mg·kg-1),最高的为联创5号(2.78 mg·kg-1);800 mg·L-1Pb胁迫下,郑单958茎叶中Pb的乙醇提取态和水提取态合计值最低,为2.41 mg·kg-1,因此郑单958耐Pb,可能与体内有毒形态Pb向无毒形态Pb的转换有关.     

镉和铅对长柔毛委陵菜体内锌的亚细胞分布和化学形态的影响

通过营养液培养并采用差速离心技术和化学试剂逐步提取法,分析了Cd和Pb及不同Zn盐对长柔毛委陵菜(Potentilla griffithii var.velutina)叶片、叶柄和根中Zn的亚细胞分布和化学形态的影响.结果表明,除对照外,长柔毛委陵菜体内46%～74%和16%～33%的Zn分别分布在细胞壁和可溶部分中;在所有处理中,细胞壁和可溶部分的Zn含量占总量的74%～95%,这说明细胞壁和可溶部分是Zn在植物体内的2个主要分布位点.与对照相比, Zn、Cd和Pb的添加使Zn在细胞壁的分配比例显著增加9%～38%(P<0.05),而可溶部分的分配比例则显著减少6%～40%(p<0.05).与单Zn处理相比, Cd和Pb虽然没有改变Zn亚细胞分布中"细胞壁>可溶部分>细胞核和叶绿体>线粒体"的格局,但增加了在细胞壁或可溶部分的分配比例,促进Zn向细胞壁或液泡中转移.Zn在长柔毛委陵菜体内以多种化学形态存在:在对照中植物各部位和单Zn处理的叶片中, Zn的乙醇提取态和水提取态所占比例达到61%～87%;在单Zn处理的叶柄和根中, Zn的氯化钠提取态和乙醇提取态占总量的62%～73%;在Zn/Cd和Zn/Pb复合处理中,氯化钠提取态、乙醇提取态和水提取态等3种化学形态占总量的70%～89%.Zn、Cd和Pb的添加大多提高了Zn的氯化钠提取态的分配比例,而降低乙醇提取态的分配比例,促进Zn向活性较弱的结合形态转移.这些结果表明细胞壁固持、液泡区隔化和活性较强化学形态的减少是长柔毛委陵菜在单Zn处理、Zn/Cd和Zn/Pb复合处理下耐Zn的主要机制.此外,不同Zn盐对长柔毛委陵菜的Zn亚细胞分布没有明显影响,而硝酸锌处理使Zn的乙醇提取态成为优势形态.
