[Method]Effects of combined pollution of Pb and Cd on the growth and yield of rice were studied by pot experiment with cultivating rice. [Result] Pb and Cd could promote rice growth at low concentration while inhibit plant height at high concentration; Pb and Cd stress reduced the number of rice tillers significantly,with the increasing of stress concentration,the decrease amplitude of the number of tillers was greater; the panicle per pot,seed setting rate,1 000-grain weight and yield of rice were reduced significantly by Pb and Cd stress,the grain number per panicle decreased significantly under low concentration of Pb and Cd but increased significantly under high concentration; the brown rice rate and milled rice rate increased significantly under low concentration of Pb and Cd while at high concentration of Pb and Cd,the both two reduced significantly,the head milled rice rate reduced significantly with the decreasing of concentration; The Pb and Cd content of grains were significantly positively related to the concentrations of Pb and Cd content in soil,it had excessively exceeded hygienic standard when the concentrations of Pb and Cd in soil were medium-high and the unqualified rate reached 333% and 122%. [Conclusion]The study had provided basis for the establishment of rice cultivation system in pollution areas.展开更多

[Method] The research divided 15 adjacent fields into five groups. Two samples were randomly selected from each field. Metal contamination was evaluated based on GB standards and the overall pollution score (OPS). [Result] The percentages of samples with above-standard levels of the three metals are 83.3%, 100% and 36.7%, respectively. The values of OPSs are ranged from five to seven, with Pb's pollution index constituting the most percentage between three metals in OPS. [Conclusion] A metal contamination in the grown rice of this test field is observed, in which Pb may be the most important factor, and Cd contents in all of the samples exceed the safety value.展开更多

Thirty hybrid combinations with the same growth period were selected as experimental ma- terials to investigate the heterosis, combined ability and heredity of Cd content in brown rice of indica hybrid rice. According to the results, Cd content in brown rice showed a significantly negative heterosis; the general combining ability and specific combination ability of Cd content in CMS and restorer lines both reached extremely significant level (P〈0.01), indicating that both genetic improvement of parents and e- valuation of combinations are important to the breeding of hybrid combinations with low accumulation of Cd; the broad-sense heritabitity and narrow-sense heritability of Cd content were both relatively high with slight differences, which respectively reached 97.73% and 80.10%, indicating that Cd content in brown rice mainly de- pends on the additive action of genes; in addition, parent improvement showed bet- ter effect on the selection of early generation.展开更多

Corn and wheat plants were grown in a nutrient culture solution at four levels of phosphorus (0, 0.12,0.60 and 3.0 mmol L-1) and two levels of cadmium (0 and 4.0 pmol L--1) in greenhouse for a 18-day period.The concen...Corn and wheat plants were grown in a nutrient culture solution at four levels of phosphorus (0, 0.12,0.60 and 3.0 mmol L-1) and two levels of cadmium (0 and 4.0 pmol L--1) in greenhouse for a 18-day period.The concentrations of phosphorus and cadmium in cell wall, cytoplasm and vacuoles of roots and leaveswere examined by cell fractionation techniques. With increasing phosphorus in medium, the contents of Pin cell wall, cytoplasm and vacuoles of corn and wheat roots and leaves increased. The highest content of Pwas observed in cell wall, next in vacuoles, and the lowest in cytoplasm. The wheat subcellular fractions inboth roots and leaves had higher concentrations of phosphorus than those of corn. Increasing phosphorus inmedium significantly inhibited the intracellular Cd accumulation in both species. However, at P concentrationup to 3.0 mmol L--1, the Cd content in cell wall was increased. Increasing phosphorus resulted in reductionof the subcellular Cd content in corn and wheat leaves. Compared with corn, the wheat roots had a higherCd content in the cell wall and vacuoles and a lower in cytoplasm, while in leaf subcellular fractions thewheat cell had a higher Cd content in its vacuoles and a lower one in its cytoplasm. The results indicate thatphosphorus may be involved in sequestration of Cd ionic activity in both cell wall and vacuoles by forminginsoluble Cd phosphate.展开更多

CdTe QDs, 2.5nm in diameter, as energy donors, were prepared in water. Au nanoparticles, 16nm in diameter, as energy acceptors, were prepared from gold chloride by reduction. CdTe QDs were linked to 5'-NH2-DNA through 1-ethyl-3-(dimethylaminopropyl)car- bodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) as a linker, and the 3'-SH-DNA was self-assembled onto the surface of AuNPs. The hybridization of complementary double stranded DNA (dsDNA) bound to the QDs and AuNPs (CdTe-dsDNA-Au) determined the FRET distance of CdTe QDs and Au nanoparticles. Compared to the fluorescence of CdTe-DNA, the fluorescence of CdTe-DNA-Au conjugates decreased extremely, which indicated that the FRET occurred between CdTe QDs and Au nanoparticles. The fluorescence change of this conjugate depended on the ratio of Au-DNA to CdTe-DNA. When the AuNPs-DNA to QD-DNA ratio was 10:1, the FRET efficiency reached a maximum. The probe system would have a certain degree of fluorescence recovery when a complementary single stranded DNA was introduced into this system, which showed that the distance between CdTe QDs and Au nanoparticles was increased.展开更多

This work was conducted tostudy the effect of some soil properties on cadmium diffusion coefficient (D) in soil. Measurements were made using the Shofield and Graham-Bryce's isotopic labelling method. Cadmium diffusion coefficients varied from 10 ̄(-7) to 10 ̄(-9) cm ̄2s ̄(-1),Higher values were observed in acid sandy soils and lower values in calcareous clay soils. Liming an acid soil resulted in a sub-stantial decrease of D. Addition of cadmium as nitrate salt generally increased D, while addition of sewage sludge and organ-ic matter resulted in a significant decrease of cadmium diffusion. The rhizospheric activity also induced a moderate reduction in D. The relationships between D 10 ̄(-9)cm ̄2s ̄(-1)) on the one hand and soil PH, moisture (Mc, g kg ̄(-1)), organic matter (OM, gkg ̄1 ), clay (Cy, g kg ̄(-1)) and cadmium content (Cd, mg kg ̄(-1)) on the other were obtained by the multigle regression:D=182. 1-29.g1 pH+0.210Mc-0.303OM+0.011Cy+1.64Cd (R ̄2=0.859,n=22 ).展开更多
