Roots were the major site of Cd accumulation. Cd accumulation in stems was three folds higher than that of leaves, and each internode contained more Cd than that in each pair of leaves. The accumulation of Cd in plants was affected not only by external Cd concentration but also by the plants' age and organ development stages. The Cd accumulation ability of young leaves was much higher than that of older ones. Kinetic study on the time course of Cd absorption showed that the saturation time for different plant parts was slightly different, ranging from 8 to 14 days. Cd-treated plants could release the absorbed or adsorbed Cd from their plant body, and they also showed conspicuous redistribution of Cd in different plant parts after transferring to regular Hoagland's solution for 6 days. The redistribution patterns of Cd in plants were also affected by the concentrations of Cd in pretreatment. The lower the pretreatment Cd concentration, the lower the Cd redistribution. The loss of Cd from roots was tremendous. The time course study of Cd release showed that primary extrication of Cd occurred in the first two days, and lessened afterwards. A reduction in the dry weights of whole plants, roots and shoots was observed in Cd-treated plants. Dose response curves for different organs were quite different. |
