摘要
[Objectives]The paper was better understand the mechanisms of Zn plant uptake in the presence of EDTA and to evaluate the contributions of Zn-EDTA complexes to Zn uptake.[Methods]Three alfalfa cultivars were cultivated for 60 d before exposure to 0,250μg Zn and 250μg Zn+10μg EDTA per kg soil for 50 d.Zn concentrations in tissues were analyzed by flame atomic absorbance spectrometry.Subsequently,Zn amount per plant,translocation factor(TF)and bio-concentration factor(BCF)were calculated.Nonenzymatic compounds in tissues were analyzed spectrophotometrically.[Results]Application of Zn+EDTA expressively increased biomass of different tissues of three alfalfa cultivars.Among the three alfalfa cultivars,Medicago sativa ssp.displayed the highest Zn concentration in tissues,the largest Zn amount in aerial parts,and the highest BCF in aerial parts under Zn+EDTA exposure.Under Zn+EDTA stress,increases in free proline in roots,stem,and leaves of M.sativa ssp.were found.Inhibited O_(2)^(·-)production in stem and leaves,increases in soluble sugar,but decreases in soluble protein were observed in M.sativa ssp.[Conclusions]M.sativa ssp.is superior to other two cultivars for Zn phyto-remediation,and its well-coordinated physiological changes under Zn+EDTA exposure confer the great Zn tolerance of this cultivar.
