3种湿地植物对锌的吸收分配及其与根表铁氧化物胶膜的关系

在室内培养条件下,以灯心草、茭白和美人蕉3种湿地植物为材料,研究了湿地植物对锌的吸收分配能力与根表铁氧化物胶膜之间的关系.结果表明:(1)3种湿地植物积累锌的总量大小顺序为:茭白>美人蕉>灯心草,茭白积累锌的总量是灯心草的1.79倍;它们根表铁氧化物胶膜含量表现为灯心草>茭白>美人蕉,且其间存在显著差异(P<0.05).(2)锌在湿地植物中分配比例表现为;根中锌量>地上部分锌量>根表铁氧化物胶膜上吸附锌量;锌主要积累在湿地植物根中,地上部分和根表铁氧化物胶膜上吸附的锌量无显著差异.(3)湿地植物根表铁氧化物胶膜上吸附锌的数量与湿地植物地下部分锌含量呈极显著正相关(r=0.983 5**),增加根表铁氧化物胶膜上锌的数量就能明显提高地下部分锌含量;每千克土壤加入1 g FeSO4后,3种湿地植物积累锌的总量平均增加了21%.可见,湿地植物根表铁氧化物胶膜对锌的吸附也是湿地植物固定或积累锌的重要途径之一.     

根系活动对湿地植物根际铁异化还原的影响及机制研究进展

根系活动是影响湿地植物根际铁异化还原速率的关键因素之一。以往国内外湿地铁异化还原的研究多为分析和比较各类中宏观生境中铁异化还原能力的差异。近年来,湿地植物根际微域铁的生物地球化学行为也日益成为该领域的研究热点。综述了根际铁异化还原研究概况,梳理了根系活动对根际铁异化还原关键因子的作用机制,分析了根际铁异化还原和其他有机质代谢途径的竞争关系,探讨了根际铁异化还原对根系活动动态变化和异质性的响应,提出了根际铁异化还原的概念模型,并指出了未来我国湿地植物根际铁异化还原研究应加强的工作。     

根表铁氧化物胶膜对水稻吸收Zn的影响

采用营养液培养方法研究了水稻根表形成的铁氧化物胶膜对水稻吸收Ｚｎ的影响．结果表明,在有Ｆｅ２＋的嫌气环境中,由于根际氧化作用水稻根表会形成红色的铁氧化物胶膜,根表的铁氧化物胶膜影响水稻对Ｚｎ的吸收．铁膜数量较少时,由于对Ｚｎ的富集作用有限,其对水稻Ｚｎ的吸收虽有促进作用,但不明显．随着根表铁膜数量的增加,这种促进作用也相应增加,并且在铁膜数量增加到一定值时,对水稻吸收Ｚｎ的促进作用达到最大．而后,随着铁膜数量的进一步增加,铁膜反而阻碍水稻对Ｚｎ的吸收,成为水稻吸收Ｚｎ的障碍层．在此过程中,水稻的根分泌物,特别是其中的植物铁载体对覆有铁膜水稻根系吸收Ｚｎ有促进作用．这种促进作用随铁膜数量的增加而逐渐减弱．因此,根表铁氧化物胶膜对水稻吸收Ｚｎ并不总是起促进作用,其作用的方向和程度取决于铁膜的数量．     

接种AM真菌和施加铁可协同降低水稻砷累积

采用外源添加砷(As)的土培模拟试验探究了接种丛枝菌根真菌(AMF)异形根孢囊霉Rhizophagus irregularis和外源添加铁(Fe)对水稻Oryza sativa根表铁膜形成以及水稻累积砷的影响。结果表明,根表铁膜能够吸附大量的磷和砷。添加砷促进了根表铁膜的形成,而接种AMF后铁膜厚度显著降低。接种AMF改善了植物的磷营养状况,显著提高了水稻根系砷浓度,但降低了地上部砷浓度;砷污染情况下施加铁显著降低了接种处理水稻地上部的砷浓度。接种AMF+施加铁处理降低水稻地上部砷浓度的效果最大。这表明AMF+施加铁可协同抑制水稻地上部砷积累。该研究结果为在高砷背景值土壤中种植粮食作物并保障食品安全提供了一条可供选择的技术途径。     

硫对土壤重金属形态转化及植物有效性的影响研究进展

生源要素硫在土壤中的化学循环不仅会直接影响土壤重金属元素的环境行为,也可通过调控植物根际微环境间接影响植物对重金属元素的吸收累积.土壤中的硫被植物根吸收后在植株中合成的有机硫化合物如植物螯合素(PCs)和金属硫蛋白(MTs)可与重金属形成毒性较低的络合物,构成植物重金属解毒的重要机制之一.我国部分土壤缺硫现象严重,为保证作物高质高产,硫肥的使用逐渐被重视,而硫与重金属的交互作用机制也逐渐成为研究热点.本文综合相关研究,介绍了硫在土壤中的生物化学转化,探讨了土壤硫的化学转化对土壤重金属形态转化及植物有效性的影响,并对今后硫在土壤重金属控制的应用提出展望.
     

湿地植物根表铁膜研究进展

湿地植物具有一系列生理和结构上适应浸水环境的特征,如根系的通气组织和渗氧能力,这使得植物根际微环境处于氧化状态,这样土壤中的铁和锰会在植物根表被氧化而形成红棕色的铁锰氧化物胶膜.土壤中的铁锰元素和局部的氧化环境是铁膜形成的2个重要条件.铁膜的主要组分为铁锰的氧化物及其水合物,它是一种两性胶体,可以通过离子之间的吸附-解吸、氧化-还原、有机-无机的络合等作用改变根际环境中重金属阳离子和养分的存在形态,从而影响这些离子的生物有效性,进而能影响土壤-湿地植被体系中污染物和养分的迁移.本文主要综述了湿地植物根系铁锰氧化物胶膜的形成、组成以及对植物吸收外部介质中的重金属和养分的影响,并提出了在今后的研究中仍值得进一步探讨和解决的问题.

Abstract：

Wetland plants have a series of physiological and anatomical characteristics to adapt flooding habitat, e.g. , their root aerenchyma and oxygen-penetrating capability can make the rhizospheric micro-environment be under oxidation condition, resulting in the formation of Fe/Mn plaques on root surface. Soil Fe and Mn and thee micro-environment oxidation condition are the two important prerequisites for the formation of the Fe/Mn plaques. The plaques are mainly com-posed of Fe-and Mn-0xides and their hydrates, which can alter the forms of heavy metals and nu-trients in rhizospberic micro-environment via the actions ahserption-desorption, oxidation-reduc-tion, and organic-inorganic chelation, etc. , and thereby, affect the bioavailability and the migra-tion of pollutants and nutrients in wetland soil-plant system. This paper reviewed the researches about the formation and composition of Fe/Mn plaques on wetland plant root surface, and the effects of the plaques on the heavy metals and nutrients uptake by wetland plants. Some problems worthy to be further approached were discussed.     

植物在湿地养分循环中的作用

植物是湿地生态系统的重要组成部分之一,在养分循环过程中起着重要的作用。植物通过自身的生长代谢吸收湿地中的营养元素,但植物对营养物质的吸收能力随植物种类、群落组成及季节不同而存在差异;不同植物以及植物的不同器官对营养元素的累积特征存在显著差异,并随生长节律表现出明显的季节动态;植物本身的化学组成和特征制约着枯落物的分解和矿化过程,从而影响植物的养分归还。本文从植物对湿地营养元素吸收、累积以及养分归还方面总结了植物在湿地养分循环中的作用,指出目前研究中存在的不足,并对今后的研究提出一些建议。

Red mud (RM)-Induced enhancement of iron plaque formation reduces arsenic and metal accumulation in two wetland plant species

Human activities have resulted in arsenic (As) and heavy metals accumulation in paddy soils in China. Phytoremediation has been suggested as an effective and low-cost method to clean up contaminated soils. A combined soil-sand pot experiment was conducted to investigate the influence of red mud (RM) supply on iron plaque formation and As and heavy metal accumulation in two wetland plant species (Cyperus alternifolius Rottb., Echinodorus amazonicus Rataj), using As and heavy metals polluted paddy soil combined with three rates of RM application (0, 2%, 5%). The results showed that RM supply significantly decreased As and heavy metals accumulation in shoots of the two plants due to the decrease of As and heavy metal availability and the enhancement of the formation of iron plaque on the root surface and in the rhizosphere. Both wetland plants supplied with RM tended to have more Fe plaque, higher As and heavy metals on roots and in their rhizospheres, and were more tolerant of As and heavy metal toxicity. The results suggest that RM-induced enhancement of the formation of iron plaque on the root surface and in the rhizosphere of wetland plants may be significant for remediation of soils contaminated with As and heavy metals.     

Root iron plaque formation and characteristics under N2 flushing and its effects on translocation of Zn and Cd in paddy rice seedlings (Oryza sativa)

Background and Aims

Anoxic conditions are seldom considered in root iron plaque induction of wetland plants in hydroponic experiments, but such conditions are essential for root iron plaque formation in the field. Although ferrous ion availability and root radial oxygen loss capacity are generally taken into account, neglect of anoxic conditions in root iron plaque formation might lead to an under- or over-estimate of their functional effects, such as blocking toxic metal uptake. This study hypothesized that anoxic conditions would influence root iron plaque formation characteristics and translocation of Zn and Cd by rice seedlings.

Methods

A hydroponic culture was used to grow rice seedlings and a non-disruptive approach for blocking air exchange between the atmosphere and the induction solution matrix was applied for root iron plaque formation, namely flushing the headspace of the induction solution with N₂ during root iron plaque induction. Zn and Cd were spiked into the solution after root iron plaque formation, and translocation of both metals was determined.

Key Results

Blocking air exchange between the atmosphere and the nutrient solution by N₂ flushing increased root plaque Fe content by between 11 and 77 % (average 31 %). The N₂ flushing treatment generated root iron plaques with a smoother surface than the non-N₂ flushing treatment, as observed by scanning electron microscopy, but Fe oxyhydroxides coating the rice seedling roots were amorphous. The root iron plaques sequestrated Zn and Cd and the N₂ flushing enhanced this effect by approx. 17 % for Zn and 71 % for Cd, calculated by both single and combined additions of Zn and Cd.

Conclusions

Blocking of oxygen intrusion into the nutrient solution via N₂ flushing enhanced root iron plaque formation and increased Cd and Zn sequestration in the iron plaques of rice seedlings. This study suggests that hydroponic studies that do not consider redox potential in the induction matrices might lead to an under-estimate of metal sequestration by root iron plaques of wetland plants.     

Root porosity, radial oxygen loss and iron plaque on roots of wetland plants in relation to zinc tolerance and accumulation

Background and aims

Wetland plants have been widely used in constructed wetlands for the clean-up of metal-contaminated waters. This study investigated the relationship between rate of radial oxygen loss (ROL), root porosity, Zn uptake and tolerance, Fe plaque formation in wetland plants.

Methods

A hydroponic experiment and a pot trial with Zn-contaminated soil were conducted to apply different Zn level treatments to various emergent wetland plants.

Results

Significant differences were found between plants in their root porosities, rates of ROL, Zn uptake and Zn tolerance indices in the hydroponic experiment, and concentrations of Fe and Mn on roots and in the rhizosphere in the pot trial. There were significant positive correlations between root porosities, ROL rates, Zn tolerance, Zn, Fe and Mn concentrations on roots and in the rhizosphere. Wetland plants with higher root porosities and ROL tended to have more Fe plaque, higher Zn concentrations on roots and in their rhizospheres, and were more tolerant of Zn toxicity.

Conclusions

Our results suggest that ROL and root porosity play very important roles in Fe plaque formation, Zn uptake and tolerance, and are useful criteria for selecting wetland plants for the phytoremediation of Zn-contaminated waters and soils/sediments.     

湿地植物根形态结构和泌氧与盐和重金属吸收、积累、耐性关系的研究进展

目前大面积湿地面临着重金属污染和盐渍化问题。利用湿地植物修复这些受损生态系统和提高海水稻的产量、减少毒性金属元素在稻米中的积累是当前面临的重要任务。湿地植物(包括水稻)已发展出各种策略和机制来耐受不同的环境胁迫,它们的根系发育具有可塑性,如根形态和解剖结构会随外界条件的变化而变化,这些变化直接影响其对环境胁迫的适应性能。近年来,对湿地植物根形态和结构、泌氧与其对盐、重金属的吸收、积累和耐性之间的关系方面进行了一些重要研究。本文分别对湿地植物根系形态、质外体屏障、通气组织和泌氧与其对盐和重金属吸收、积累和耐性的关系等方面的研究进展进行了综述,并对该领域未来的发展方向作了展望。     

Trace metals in mangrove seedlings: role of iron plaque formation

Metal-rich mineral deposits on the roots of aquatic plants, denominated iron plaques, may moderate the uptake of essential, but potentially toxic metals by roots. We investigated the iron plaque formation on the fine, nutritive roots of mangrove seedlings growing in contrasting environments (oxidizing sand flat sediments and reducing mangrove forest sediments) in southeast Brazil. The results indicate that Avicennia schaueriana, Laguncularia racemosa, and Rhizophora mangle seedlings developed an efficient exclusion of Fe, Mn, and Zn through iron plaque formation. This process seems to be influenced substantially by species-specific responses to environmental conditions. While Fe and Zn translocation to leaves appear to be suppressed by accumulation within root tissues, this did not appear to occur for Mn, suggesting that Mn trapping in rhizosphere sediments and iron plaque formation are the main mechanisms responsible for the Mn exclusion from the organism level. In addition to factors well recognized as affecting mangrove seedling development (e.g., salinity stress and nutrient availability), the mediation of trace metal uptake by iron plaque formation possibly contribute to determine the seedling adaptability to waterlogged conditions.     

湿地植物根系泌氧及其在自然基质中的扩散效应研究进展

湿地植物根系径向泌氧(ROL)是构造根际氧化-还原异质微生态系统的核心要素,其扩散层为好氧、厌氧微生物提供了良好生境并促进其代谢活动,使湿地植物根际成为有机物降解、物质循环及生命活动最为强烈的场所,已有成果证明湿地植物根系ROL的强弱与污染物的去除效果密切相关。因此,开展湿地植物根系ROL及其在自然基质中的扩散效应研究,对于了解湿地植物根系ROL机理及其根际氧环境特征,进而发挥湿地植物的污染去除功能具有十分重要的意义。基于此,首先归纳了湿地植物根系ROL特征及其受影响机制的研究现状,而后从种属差异、时空分布及对微生物的影响等方面对根系ROL在自然基质中的扩散效应国内外研究成果进行了总结,最终根据研究现状与不足对今后的研究方向进行了简要展望。创新之处在于:1)提出影响根系氧供给及氧输送释放通道的环境、生物等因素,阐述了其对根系ROL的影响机制;2)着重阐述了目前研究较少提及的根系ROL扩散效应测定方法。     

Iron plaque enhances phosphorus uptake by rice (Oryza sativa) growing under varying phosphorus and iron concentrations

Both solution culture and pot experiments were performed to investigate (a) the effects of external Fe (II) concentrations and forms on the formation of iron plaque on the roots of rice (Oryza sativa) and subsequent P adsorption on iron plaque and shoot P concentrations and (b) the effects of soil moisture regimes on the formation of iron plaque and P adsorption on root surfaces and P accumulation in shoots. The results showed that iron plaque was significantly increased with increasing Fe²⁺ concentrations in the solution culture. The amounts of P adsorbed on the iron plaque were increased significantly with external Fe²⁺ concentrations. Although shoot P concentration was not significantly affected by Fe²⁺ treatment after incubation for 2 days, it was significantly increased in the Fe‐treated plants compared with Fe‐deprived ones after incubation for 4 days. Soil culture experiment showed that the formation of iron plaque on root surfaces was promoted by exogenous iron, with greater amount of iron plaque being formed by addition of ferric hydroxide than of ferric oxide. Phosphorus adsorption on iron plaque also increased with the addition of iron oxides, and increasing soil P increased the amounts of P associated with the iron plaque and shoot P concentration. The amounts of iron plaque were almost sixfold higher under flooding condition than under field capacity condition. Plants pretreated under flooding condition generally had higher shoot P concentrations when they were transplanted to solutions with varying P levels, and this was most pronounced in the treatment with highest solution P concentration. The results suggest that iron plaque acts as a nutrient reservoir for phosphorus in the rhizosphere and helps enhance P acquisition by rice.
