摘要
In order to understand the similarity or difference of inorganic As species uptake and transport related to phosphorus in Ashyperaccumulator, uptake and transport of arsenate （As（V）） and arsenite （As（Ⅲ）） were studied using Pteris vittata L. under sand culture. Higher concentrations of phosphate were found to inhibit accumulation of arsenate and arsenite in the fronds of P. vittata. The reduction in As accumulation was greater in old fronds than in young fronds, and relatively weak in root and rhizome. Moderate increases, from 0.05 to 0.3 mmol/L, in phosphate reduced uptake of As（Ⅲ） more than As（Ⅴ）, while the reverse was observed at high concentrations of phosphate （≥1.0 mmol/L）. Phosphate apparently reduced As transport and the proportion of As accumulated in fronds of P. vittata when As was supplied as As（Ⅴ）. It may in part be due to competition between phosphorus and As（Ⅴ） during transport. In contrast, phosphate had a much smaller effect on As transport when the As was supplied as As（Ⅲ）. Therefore, the results from present experiments indicates that a higher concentration of phosphate suppressed As accumulation and transport in P. vittata, especially in the fronds, when exposed to As（Ⅴ）, but the suppression of phosphate to As transport may be insignificant when P. vittata exposed to As（Ⅲ） under sand culture conditions. The finding will help to understand the interaction of P and As during their uptake process in P. vittata.
