When the Cd concentration was over 50.00 mg/kg, with the increased Cd concentration, the CAT activity declined significantly, the synergistic effect between SOD and CAT was weakened, the MDA content increased greatly, and the root vigor decreased, leading to inhibited growth of P. vaginatum. When the Cd concentration was in the range of 0-50 mg/kg, the root vigor of P. vaginatum did not decline obviously, the activity of protective enzymes （SOD and CAT） was enhanced, and the MDA accumulation and cell membrane permeability did not increase significantly, thus the damage of Cd to P. vaginatum was lighter. Roots of P. vaginatum showed strong enrichment capacity for Cd. When the Cd concentration was up to 200.00 mg/kg, the Cd contents in shoot and root of P. vaginatum reached 39.15 and 1 097.38 mg/kg, respectively. It suggests that in the concentration range of 0-50.00 mg/kg, P. vaginatum can make effective responses to Cd stress and grow normally, and it can be planted as a candidate material to remediate Cd-contaminated soil.展开更多

The results indicate that, under Cd stress, the dry and fresh weight are increased by both the single element and mixed rare earth treatment, and the fastness of rape is improved.The single element of rare earth decreases the Cd content in rape roots and transmits Cd to the edible parts above the ground in which the alleviation effect of Ce is most significant.La treatment takes the second place, so that the poisonous effect of heavy metal Cd is eased.The mixed rare earth doesn't alleviate the assimilation of Cd in rape roots, but accelerates the transfer of Cd to the parts above the ground. The research puts forward that the alleviation of rare earth on Cd stress has connection with the decrease of Ca content.展开更多

Between Cd and Ph there is synergism inthe activated oxygen scavenging system. The results show that the stress of Cd and Pb can affect the scavenging system of activated oxygen and result in imbalance of activated oxygenmetabolism.展开更多

Results showed that a greater growth inhibition occurred in snc1,while a less inhibition was observed in nahG and npr1-1 plants. Although the anti-oxidative enzymes SOD and POD increased upon Cd exposure,they were insufficient to remove oxidative stress,especially in snc1 plants. The accumulations of soluble sugar and proline in the tested plants were positively related to their tolerance to Cd stress.展开更多
