Our results indicate that the biomass of rice seedling decreased as arsenic concentration increased, with the decrease being more significant at higher arsenic concentrations. In addition, the analysis of superoxide dimutase （SOD）, peroxidase （POD）, and catalase （CAT） in rice roots and leaves showed that the activity of these three enzymes significantly decreased in rice tissues, especially in rice roots, as arsenic concentration was increased,. Further, the uptake and utilization efficiencies of N, P, and K were found to decrease as arsenic concentration was increased. However, the uptake and utilization efficiencies of P and K were mainly affected by As（IlI）, whereas those of N were mainly affected by As（V）. Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry （ICP-MS） was used to assay arsenic accumulation in rice tissues; the results indicate that the arsenic content in rice tissues was enhanced when arsenic concentration was increased, especially in rice roots after arsenic treatment.展开更多
