Pilot testing of a bioremediation system for water and soils contaminated with heavy metals: vegetable depuration module

Abstract

We present a novel constructed wetland called a vegetable depuration module (VDM) as a pilot test of a bioremediation system (BS) for decontaminating water and soil polluted with heavy metals. The VDM consisted of a pool filled with stones of different granulometry and a substrate top layer composed of a mixture of soil and volcanic ash (50:50, v/v) supplemented with 350?ppm Zn. The BS of sunflower plants colonized by the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Rhizophagus intraradices was planted in the VDM. Initially, the substrate registered high concentrations of Zn, Cr, Mn, Cu, and Sr, and had Eh > +500?mV and pH 8.4. Irrigation with a Cu solution by vertical flow was carried out. After 3?months, bioaccumulation factors ranged from 1.00 to 8.90, and translocation rates were >1 for Sr and Cu. Total metals extracted by the BS and percolation were 31%, 34%, 50%, 45%, and 57% for Zn, Cu, Mn, Cr, and Sr, respectively. Only the BS was capable of extracting 94% of Cu and 38% of Zn. VDM allowed us to calibrate the extractive performance of the studied elements in BS. This biotechnological development holds great potential for phytoremediation of polluted areas.     

NaCl胁迫对菜用大豆种子膨大过程中抗氧化系统及渗透调节物质的影响

采用蛭石栽培试验,在100mmol.L-1 NaCl胁迫下,对耐盐性不同的两个菜用大豆品种种子膨大、抗氧化系统及渗透调节物质进行了研究。结果显示:(1)耐盐品种‘绿领特早’种子干质量及大小的增加在NaCl胁迫15d时未受显著影响,而盐敏感品种‘理想高产95-1’种子的膨大受到了显著抑制。(2)NaCl胁迫导致菜用大豆种子超氧阴离子(O2.-)、过氧化氢(H2O2)及丙二醛(MDA)的过量积累,但‘绿领特早’种子的相对积累量均低于‘理想高产95-1’。(3)与‘理想高产95-1’相比,‘绿领特早’在NaCl胁迫期间维持了相对较高的超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)及谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)活性,以及较高的抗坏血酸(AsA)、可溶性蛋白和可溶性糖含量;胁迫中期维持了相对较高的过氧化物酶(POD)活性,胁迫后期维持了相对较高的过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性;胁迫前中期维持了相对较高的谷胱甘肽(GSH)含量。研究发现,‘绿领特早’种子在NaCl胁迫期间能够保持较高且协调平衡的保护酶SOD、POD、CAT活性和较高的AsA-GSH循环效率,同时维持了较强的渗透调节能力,有效抑制了O2.-和H2O2的过量积累,进而有效降低了细胞膜质过氧化程度,这可能是其耐盐性较强的重要原因之一。

Differential effects of five types of antipathogenic plant peptides on model membranes

The effects of five antipathogenic plant peptides, wheat α-thionin, potato PTH1 defensin, barley LTP2 lipid transfer protein, and potato tuber DL1 and DL2 defensins, have been tested against phospholipid vesicles (liposomes). Wheat thionin very actively induces aggregation and leakage of negatively charged vesicles. LTP2 displays the same activities, although to a limited extent. Under certain conditions PTH1 and DL2 induce vesicle aggregation, but not leakage. Potato defensin DL1 failed to show any effect on liposomes. The same peptides have been assayed against a plant pathogenic bacterium, both the membrane-active and -inactive compounds having efficient antibacterial action.     

叶类蔬菜的硝态氮累积及成因研究

在菜园土壤上进行的田间试验,用禾谷类作物冬小麦作比较,研究了菠菜、小白菜、大青菜和油菜等叶类蔬菜累积硝态氮的特点,结果表明：硝态氮累积是一般早作作物的共性,苗期更为明显,无论蔬菜还是冬小麦均有较高的硝态氮含量（367.8-1413.4μg/g);但随生育期后延,蔬菜的硝态氮含量波动升高,冬小麦波动降低,盆栽试验表明,施入土壤的氮肥是蔬菜硝态氮累积的主要来源,过量施用氮肥所导致的蔬菜硝态氮吸收与还原转化不平衡是产生累积的根本原因,吸收与生长不协调更使累积过程加剧。     

日光温室蔬菜残株堆腐后还田对根区土壤环境及蔬菜产量的影响

为了探究设施蔬菜收获后剩余残株合理利用的途径,通过温室土壤栽培试验研究了番茄、黄瓜残株堆肥还田(0、15、20、30 t·hm^-2)对土壤性状及蔬菜生长和产量的影响.结果表明: 将番茄、黄瓜残株堆肥处理后还田可降低土壤容重,提高土壤有机质含量、微生物生物量和酶活性,促进蔬菜植株生长,增加蔬菜产量,改善蔬菜营养品质.残株堆肥使用量越多,改善效果越好,且对第二茬春黄瓜的作用效果优于第一茬秋番茄.表明施用蔬菜残株堆肥还田可改善设施蔬菜根区土壤环境,并提高设施蔬菜产量和品质.     

Atmospheric nitric oxide stimulates plant growth and improves the quality of spinach (Spinacia oleracea)

Nitric oxide (NO) is an endogenous signalling molecule implicated in a growing number of plant processes and has been recognised as a plant hormone. The present research employed spinach plant ( Spinacia oleracea cv. Huangjia) and closed growth chambers to investigate the effects of gaseous NO application on vegetable production in greenhouses. Treatment of low concentration of NO gas (ambient atmosphere with 200 nL L⁻¹ NO gas) significantly increased the shoot biomass of the soil-cultivated plants as compared with the control treatment (ambient atmosphere). In addition, the NO treatment also increased the photosynthetic rate of leaves, indicating that the enhancement of photosynthesis is an important reason leading to more biomass accumulation induced by NO gas. Furthermore, the NO treatment decreased nitrate concentration but increased the concentrations of soluble sugar, protein, antioxidants (vitamin C, glutathione and flavonoids), and ferric reducing-antioxidant power (FRAP) in shoots of the plants grown in soil, suggesting that the gaseous NO treatment can not only increase vegetable production but also improve vegetable quality. In addition, the effects of the combined application of NO and CO₂ (NO 200 nL L⁻¹ and CO₂ 800 μL L⁻¹) on shoot biomass was even greater than the effects of elevated CO₂ (CO₂ 800 μL L⁻¹) or the NO treatment alone, implying that gaseous NO treatment can be used in CO₂-elevated greenhouses as an effective strategy in improving vegetable production.

Gynura属3个野生蔬菜营养成分的比较及评价

测定了Gynura属中3个野生蔬菜的营养成分,结果表明,红凤菜有最高的粗蛋白和氨基酸总量,并且富含钾.白子菜-1的Vc含量明显最高,β-胡萝卜素和VE也高于白子菜-2和红凤菜.白子菜-2的粗纤维、粗脂肪、灰份、总黄酮的含量都略高于另外两个野生蔬菜.     

镉在黄瓜和油菜中的运输与分布规律

采用水培方法,研究了黄瓜和油菜中镉的分配特点及根细胞壁对镉的亲和力,了解不同蔬菜根细胞壁对镉的吸收和运输的影响.结果表明:随着营养液中镉浓度的增加,黄瓜和油菜根中水和氯化钙提取镉的比例增加,而根中镉的比例降低;营养液中镉浓度在10 μmol·L-1时,根中水和氯化钙提取镉的比例占根中镉总量的10%以上;而营养液中镉浓度在1 μmol·L-1时,油菜根中水和氯化钙提取镉的比例仅占根中镉总量的2%;黄瓜根中氯化钙提取镉的比例高于油菜;在相同镉浓度处理下,油菜根和地上部镉的浓度明显高于黄瓜,并且油菜地上部与根部镉的比例高于黄瓜;植物根中镉的浓度是地上部的8～66倍,根细胞壁对镉有一定的固定作用,限制了镉从根向地上部的转移.     

重庆市蔬菜硝酸盐、亚硝酸盐含量及其与环境的关系

在重庆市的主要蔬菜中,硝酸盐含量依次为根菜类＞叶菜类＞葱蒜类＞瓜类＞豆类＞茄果类,前３类的硝酸盐含量超标,但各种蔬菜的亚硝酸盐含量一般较低,未超过卫生标准。就同一种蔬菜的不同样品而言,硝酸盐和亚硝酸盐含量的差异很大,说明品种或环境条件可显著影响其含量。重庆市多雾少光,冬春低温,土壤含氮量和钠高子含量较高,有效钾含量较低可能是导致蔬菜大量积累硝酸盐的环境因素。蔬菜不同器官硝酸盐和亚硝酸盐含量各异,根＞茎＞叶柄＞叶片。     

Phytoextraction of initial cutting of Salix matsudana for Cd and Cu

Salix species are widely used as vegetation filters because of their flourishing root system and fast growth rate. However, studies have yet to determine whether the root system functions in vegetable filters with mixed heavy metal (HM) pollution or whether initial cutting participates in the phytoextraction of HMs. This study aims to determine the function of the root system and initial cutting as vegetation filters in the absorption and accumulation of Cd and Cu. Thick (>1?cm in diameter) and fine (<1?cm in diameter) initial cuttings of Salix matsudana were planted in a nutrient solution with single and mixed (Cd?+?Cu) treatments. The roots of several initial cuttings were removed daily to eradicate rhizofiltration. Results revealed that the existence of the root system altered distribution and interaction of Cd and Cu in plant organs and enhanced tolerance and phytoextraction capacity of plants. The initial cuttings could also absorb and accumulate HMs in the early growth stages of willow without roots. Cu inhibited the plant absorption and accumulation of Cd and promoted Cd transport to shoots. Cd inhibited the Cu absorption of the root system. Our study provided essential data regarding woody species as vegetation filters of HM pollution.

几种蔬菜对外源碘的吸收与积累特性

在盆栽条件下研究了小白菜、芹菜、辣椒和萝卜4种蔬菜对2种外源碘(海藻固体碘肥和KI)的吸收与积累特性.结果表明:蔬菜体内的碘含量均随外源碘浓度的提高而逐渐增加;不同蔬菜种类对碘的吸收与积累能力存在较大差异,叶菜类的小白菜对碘的积累能力最强,其次为茎菜类的芹菜,而根菜类的萝卜和果菜类的辣椒吸收与积累碘的能力较弱;碘在蔬菜体内的分布一般为根>叶>茎>果实,但萝卜地下块根的碘含量低于地上部分.低浓度碘处理(0～25mg.kg-1)对蔬菜生长没有明显的影响,但高浓度的外源碘(≥50mg.kg-1)对蔬菜生长有抑制作用,导致蔬菜生物量减少.不同蔬菜对碘的敏感反应表现为辣椒>小白菜>芹菜>萝卜.与海藻固体碘肥相比,KI处理的第1茬蔬菜生物量下降明显(P<0.05),而2种外源碘对第2茬蔬菜的生长均无显著影响.蔬菜对2种外源碘的吸收和积累效果同样存在很大差异(P<0.05),第1茬蔬菜对KI的吸收能力强于海藻碘肥(P<0.05),第2茬蔬菜对KI的吸收量迅速下降,而对海藻固体碘肥的吸收下降不明显,说明海藻固体碘肥比KI具有更长的持效性.     

果实类蔬菜套袋技术效果评价

田间系统研究了不同袋型的套袋效果及不同果实类蔬菜最佳套袋的时期。室内测定分析了套袋果实蔬菜的营养物含量及农药残留量。结果表明：黄瓜、番茄、西葫芦、茄子套膜袋均有显著的增产效果,分别为16．4％、11．6％、10．1％、13．7％。套纸袋除番茄外亦均有明显增产效果。套膜袋VC含量增加22．0％～152．9％。畸形瓜(果)降低11．5％～32．3％,袋体有效阻隔了化学农药对果实类蔬菜直接接触污染。套膜袋黄瓜、番茄、茄子、西葫芦中农药残留量分别降低83．3％、84．5％、79．7％、85．7％,套纸袋依次降低73．2％、79．9％、70．9％、83．1％。套袋栽培协调了病虫防治与绿色食品蔬菜生产的矛盾。     

不同蔬菜害虫对色彩的趋性差异

试验表明,黄曲条跳甲PhyllotretastriolataF.、桃蚜Myzuspersicae(Sulzer)、和美洲斑潜蝇LiriomyzasativaeBlanchard对不同颜色的趋向性存在差异,黄曲条跳甲对黄色和白色的趋性强,桃蚜和美洲斑潜蝇对黄色最敏感,小菜蛾Plutellaxylostella(L.)成虫对绿色的敏感性明显强于其他色彩。在生产上,可利用害虫对颜色的趋性进行害虫预测预报或害虫控制。
