土壤铅污染日益严重,植物修复是一种环保的污染土壤修复技术。本文旨在研究四种土壤铅污染水平下,添加生物碳和分根区交替 灌溉(Alternative Partial Root-zone Irrigation,APRI)对桑树幼苗的生长、铅适应性和铅积累的影响。我们以生物碳(添加与不添加生物碳)、灌溉方式(APRI 与常规灌溉)和土壤铅水平(0、50、200 和800 mg kg⁻¹ Pb)为三因素实施了温室试验。通过测定桑树幼苗的生长性状、渗透物质代谢、抗氧化酶活性、铅的积累和转运等参数,探讨了不同处理对桑树生长发育的影响。结果表明,桑树对土壤铅污染有较强的适应能力;生物碳和APRI 在不同土壤铅水平上协同提高了生物量和吸收根表面积。桑树通过调节谷胱甘肽 (GSH)、脯氨酸代谢和过氧化物酶(POD)活性,增加了渗透和抗氧化调节能力,进而提高了对重度铅污染土壤(800 mg kg⁻¹)的抗性。桑苗中的铅离子主要集中在根中,与土壤铅浓度具有剂量效应。土壤铅、生物碳和ARPI的交互作用影响了叶片和根系中铅的浓度、转运和生物富集系数。综上所述,在桑树栽培中结合外源生物碳和APRI可有效地用于修复土壤铅污染。

Understanding molecular mechanisms for improving phytoremediation of heavy metal-contaminated soils

Heavy metal pollution of soil is a significant environmental problem with a negative potential impact on human health and agriculture. Rhizosphere, as an important interface of soil and plants, plays a significant role in phytoremediation of contaminated soil by heavy metals, in which, microbial populations are known to affect heavy metal mobility and availability to the plant through release of chelating agents, acidification, phosphate solubilization and redox changes, and therefore, have potential to enhance phytoremediation processes. Phytoremediation strategies with appropriate heavy metal-adapted rhizobacteria or mycorrhizas have received more and more attention. In addition, some plants possess a range of potential mechanisms that may be involved in the detoxification of heavy metals, and they manage to survive under metal stresses. High tolerance to heavy metal toxicity could rely either on reduced uptake or increased plant internal sequestration, which is manifested by an interaction between a genotype and its environment.A coordinated network of molecular processes provides plants with multiple metal-detoxifying mechanisms and repair capabilities. The growing application of molecular genetic technologies has led to an increased understanding of mechanisms of heavy metal tolerance/accumulation in plants and, subsequently, many transgenic plants with increased heavy metal resistance, as well as increased uptake of heavy metals, have been developed for the purpose of phytoremediation. This article reviews advantages, possible mechanisms, current status and future direction of phytoremediation for heavy-metal–contaminated soils.     

重金属污染的植物修复及相关分子机制

随着近代工业的发展,土壤重金属污染问题日益严重。重金属即使在极低浓度下仍然可以对人畜造成健康上的威胁,因此迫切需要有效的修复方法对土壤进行修复。生物修复,特别是植物修复目前已经成为重金属污染修复的重要手段之一,了解相关植物的重金属解毒和积累分子机制是提高修复效率、解决重金属污染问题的基础。文中以土壤修复方式为起点,结合植物吸收积累重金属以及解毒的相关分子机制研究,探讨了植物修复的发展现状以及趋势。     

金属结合蛋白基因及其在清除重金属污染中的应用

一些微生物和植物由于对毒性金属具有独特的抗性机制,使得利用它们来清除日益严重的环境污染已发展成为一种十分有效的技术——生物修复。研究表明,不同的金属结合蛋白（如MT 和PC）,在生物忍耐和降解过量重金属毒性机制中起重要作用。愈来愈多的MT 和PC基因被克隆,并已成功地应用于生物遗传转化,这些转基因生物在清除重金属污染方面已显示出潜在的应用价值。 Abstract:Heavy metal pollution has become a global environmental hazard.The use of microorganisms and plants for the decontamination of heavy metals is recognized as a low lost and high efficiency method for cleaning up metal contamination.It shows that various metal-binding proteins such as metallothioneins (MTs) or phytochelatines (PCs) play an important role in defense systems and detoxification to heavy metals in organisms.Many genes of MTs and PCs have been cloned and utilized successfully in genetically modified bacteria and plants for increasing remediation capacity.These transgenic organisms have been displayed a great potential in bioremediation and phytoremediation of heavy metals.     

Prospects of genetic engineering of plants for phytoremediation of toxic metals

Bioremediation is gaining a lot of importance in recent times as an alternate technology for removal of elemental pollutants in soil and water, which require effective methods of decontamination. Phytoremediation--the use of green plants to remove, contain or render harmless environmental pollutants--may offer an effective, environmentally nondestructive and cheap remediation method. The use of genetic engineering to modify plants for metal uptake, transport and sequestration may open up new avenues for enhancing efficiency of phytoremediation. Metal chelator, metal transporter, metallothionein (MT), and phytochelatin (PC) genes have been transferred to plants for improved metal uptake and sequestration. Transgenic plants, which detoxify/accumulate cadmium, lead, mercury, arsenic and selenium have been developed. A better understanding of the mechanisms of rhizosphere interaction, uptake, transport and sequestration of metals in hyperaccumulator plants will lead to designing novel transgenic plants with improved remediation traits. As more genes related to metal metabolism are discovered, facilitated by the genome sequencing projects, new vistas will be opened up for development of efficient transgenic plants for phytoremediation.     

Effects of clonal integration,nutrients and cadmium on growth of the aquatic macrophyte Pistia stratiotes

许多湿地同时遭受养分和有毒金属的污染,其植被多数为克隆植物。我们假设,富养化和克隆整合可以通过增加植物的生长来提高对有毒金属污染的植物修复能力,即使在毒性胁迫环境下也是如此。为验证此假说,我们将常见、广布的匍匐茎漂浮植物大薸(Pistia stratiotes L.)的单个分株种植在两种不同的养分条件下和两种镉污染处理(无镉或含0.6 mg L⁻¹ 的镉)中42天。通过保持或切断母株与其后代分株之间的连接来维持或阻止克隆整合,并通过保留或移除切断后的后代分株来控制克隆内竞争的有无。由于高养分条件下克隆后代分株的数量增加了一倍,因此镉处理下大薸的生物量在高养分条件下几乎是在低养分条件下的两倍。切断匍匐茎连接对整个克隆(母株和后代分株的总和)的生物量没有影响。切断连接后去除后代分株对镉污染下母株的生物量没有显著的影响,但却显著增加了无镉污染下母株的生物量。这些研究结果支持富养化可以提高水生植物对有毒金属污染的修复能力这一假说,但并不支持克隆整合有利于植物修复的假说。因此,水生植物(如大薸)可能有助于对同时遭受有毒金属和养分污染的湿地进行修复,但克隆片段化对植物的这种修复能力可能没有显著影响。

Opportunities and feasibilities for biotechnological improvement of Zn, Cd or Ni tolerance and accumulation in plants

Metals contaminate the soil when present in high concentrations causing soil and ultimately environmental pollution. “Phytoremediation” is the use of plants to remove pollutants from contaminated environments. Plants tightly regulate their internal metal concentrations in a process called “metal homeostasis”. Some species have evolved extreme tolerance and accumulation of Zn, Cd and Ni as a way to adapt to exposure to these metals. Such traits are beneficial for phytoremediation, however, most natural metal hyperaccumulator species are not adapted to agriculture and have low yields. A wealth of knowledge has been generated regarding metal homeostasis in plants, including hyperaccumulators, which can be used in phytoremediation of Zn, Cd and Ni. In this review, we describe the current state of Zn, Cd and Ni physiology in plants and the underlying molecular mechanisms. The ways to efficiently utilize this information in designing high biomass metal accumulator plants are discussed. The potential and application of genetic modification has extended our understanding about the mechanisms in plants dealing with the metal environment and has paved the way to achieve the goal of understanding metal physiology and to apply the knowledge for the containment and clean up of metal contaminated soils.     

Influence of Soil Chemistry and Plant Physiology in the Phytoremediation of Cu,Mn, and Zn

Different anthropogenic sources of metals can result from agricultural, industrial, military, mining and urban activities that contribute to environmental pollution. Plants can be grown for phytoremediation to remove or stabilize contaminants in water and soil. Copper (Cu), manganese (Mn) and zinc (Zn) are trace essential metals for plants, although their role in homeostasis in plants must be strictly regulated to avoid toxicity. In this review, we summarize the processes involved in the bioavailability, uptake, transport and storage of Cu, Mn and Zn in plants. The efficiency of phytoremediation depends on several factors including metal bioavailability and plant uptake, translocation and tolerance mechanisms. Soil parameters, such as clay fraction, organic matter content, oxidation state, pH, redox potential, aeration, and the presence of specific organisms, play fundamental roles in the uptake of trace essential metals. Key processes in the metal homeostasis network in plants have been identified. Membrane transporters involved in the acquisition, transport and storage of trace essential metals are reviewed. Recent advances in understanding the biochemical and molecular mechanisms of Cu, Mn and Zn hyperaccumulation are described. The use of plant-bacteria associations, plant-fungi associations and genetic engineering has opened a new range of opportunities to improve the efficiency of phytoremediation. The main directions for future research are proposed from the investigation of published results.     

Metal accumulation and tolerance in wetland plants

This paper briefly reviews the progress in studies of wetland plants in terms of heavy metal pollution. The current research mainly includes the following areas: (1) metal uptake, translocation, and distributions in wetland plants and toxicological effects on wetland plants, (2) radial oxygen loss (ROL) of wetland plants and its effects on metal mobility in rhizosphere soils, (3) constitutional metal tolerance in wetland plants, and (4) mechanisms of metal tolerance by wetland plants. Although a number of accomplishments have been achieved, many issues still remain unanswered. The future research effort is likely to focus on the ROL of wetland plants affecting metal speciation and bioavailability in rhizosphere soils, and the development of rhizosphere management technologies to facilitate and improve practical applications of phytoremediation of metalpolluted soils.
