In a model hyperaccumulation study a Cd/Zn hyperaccumulator Thlaspi caerulescens accession Ganges and a recently reported Cd/Zn hyperaccumulator Thlaspi praecox grown in increasing Cd and Zn concentrations in the substrate and in field collected polluted soil were compared. Plant biomass, concentrations of Cd and Zn, total chlorophylls and anthocyanins, antioxidative stress parameters and activities of selected antioxidative enzymes were compared. Increasing Cd, but not Zn in the substrate resulted in the increase of biomass of roots and shoots of T. praecox and T. caerulescens. The two species hyperaccumulated Cd in the shoots to a similar extent, whereas T. caerulescens accumulated more Zn in the shoots than T. praecox. Cadmium amendment decreased total chlorophyll concentration and glutathione reductase activity, and increased non-protein thiols concentration only in T. praecox, suggesting that it is less tolerant to Cd than T. caerulescens. In the field-contaminated soil, T. caerulescens accumulated higher Cd concentrations; but as T. praecox produced higher biomass, both species have similar ability to extract Cd. 相似文献

Thlaspi caerulescens is a Zn and Cd hyperaccumulator, and has been tested for its phytoremediation potential. In this paper we examine the relationships between the concentrations of Zn and Cd in soil and in T. caerulescens shoots, and calculate the rates of Zn and Cd extraction from soil. Using published data from field surveys, field and pot experiments, we show that the concentrations of Zn and Cd in the shoots correlate with the concentrations of Zn and Cd in soils in a log-linear fashion over three orders of magnitude. There is little systematic difference between different populations of T. caerulescens in the relationship between soil and plant Zn concentrations. In contrast, populations from southern France are far superior to those from other regions in Cd accumulation. Bioaccumulation factors (plant to soil concentration ratio) for Zn and Cd decrease log-linearly with soil metal concentration. Model calculations show that phytoremediation using T. caerulescens is feasible when soil is only moderately contaminated with Zn and Cd, and the phytoremediation potential is better for Cd than for Zn if the populations from southern France are used. Recent progress in the understanding of the mechanisms of Zn and Cd uptake by T. caerulescens is also reviewed. 相似文献

The heavy metal hyperaccumulator Thlaspi caerulescens is widespread in France on many kinds of sites and substrates, including Zn/Pb/Cd mine and smelter wastes, Ni-rich serpentine outcrops and a variety of nonmetalliferous soils. Thlaspi caerulescens is remarkable among the metallophytes of France because it accumulates Zn to high concentrations (almost always >0.1%, and often >1% in the dry matter) regardless of the total Zn concentration of the substrate. The extraordinary uptake of Zn from soils of normal Zn concentration draws attention to the need for studies of the mechanisms by which such mobilization and uptake can occur. Different populations of Thlaspi caerulescens in France show considerable variation in their ability to accumulate Cd; individuals in some populations contain as much as 0.1 to 0.4% Cd, the highest levels recorded in vascular plants. The hyperaccumulation of Ni (sometimes exceeding 1%) from serpentine soils in France is also noteworthy. Despite the generally low biomass, some very large individuals occur, giving good potential for selective breeding to improve the value of Thlaspi caerulescens for phytoremediation, especially of Cd. The high Zn uptake from all kinds of soils is a property shared by the related T. brachypetalum, and T. alpinum shows dual Zn- and Ni uptake, depending on the substrate. The extent to which other species of Thlaspi occurring in France exhibit metal accumulation is also discussed. 相似文献

Three Cd and Zn hyperaccumulating plant species Noccaea caerulescens Noccaea praecox and Arabidopsis halleri ( Brassicacceae) were cultivated in seven subsequent vegetation seasons in both pot and field conditions in soil highly contaminated with Cd, Pb, and Zn. The results confirmed the hyperaccumulation ability of both plant species, although A. halleri showed lower Cd uptake compared to N. caerulescens. Conversely, Pb phytoextraction was negligible for both species in this case. Because of the high variability in plant yield and element contents in the aboveground biomass of plants, great variation in Cd and Zn accumulation was observed during the experiment. The extraction ability in field conditions varied in the case of Cd from 0.2 to 2.9 kg ha ?1 ( N. caerulescens) and up to 0.15 kg ha ?1 ( A. halleri), and in the case of Zn from 0.2 to 6.4 kg ha ?1 ( N. caerulescens) and up to 13.8 kg.ha ?1 ( A. halleri). Taking into account the 20 cm root zone of the soil, the plants were able to extract up to 4.1% Cd and 0.2% Zn in one season. However, cropping measures should be optimized to improve and stabilize the long-term phytoextraction potential of these plants. 相似文献

Aims and background We previously compared metallicolous (M) and non-metallicolous (NM) populations of Noccaea (= Thlaspi) caerulescens, Silene vulgaris, and Matthiola flavida for their abilities to tolerate and (hyper)-accumulate lead (Pb) in hydroponics. In the present study we aimed 1) to check the hyperaccumulation and tolerance abilities of these populations in controlled experiments using metalliferous soils, 2) to test the M. flavida M population for Zn and Cd hypertolerance in hydroponics. Methods Plants were grown in hydroponics and fertilized metalliferous substrates, collected from a Zn/Pb smelter sinter deposit near Plombières, Belgium (low pH, low Ca), and a tailing of the Irankouh Zn/Pb mine, Iran (high pH, high Ca). Metal tolerance was assessed from root growth inhibition in hydroponics, or mortality, stunting or chlorosis in the experiments with soil. Results Metallicolous M. flavida did not show hypertolerance or hyperaccumulation of Cd or Zn in hydroponics. Only one of the N. caerulescens M populations and the native S. vulgaris M population were able to grow in Plombières soil, whereas the others stopped growing or died within 40?days. All the populations survived and maintained growth for 40?days in Irankouh soil. When grown in Irankouh soil, the M population of M. flavida hyperaccumulated Pb. N. caerulescens hyperaccumulated Zn from Plombières soil, but not from Irankouh soil. Conclusions The M. flavida M population is non-Pb-hypertolerant. It hyperaccumulates Pb from Irankouh soil, but not from Pb-amended nutrient solution. N. caerulescens does not hyperaccumulate Zn from the calcareous Irankouh soil. 相似文献

Although the knowledge on heavy metal hyperaccumulation mechanisms is increasing, the genetic basis of cadmium (Cd) hyperaccumulation remains to be elucidated. Thlaspi caerulescens is an attractive model since Cd accumulation polymorphism observed in this species suggests genetic differences between populations with low versus high Cd hyperaccumulation capacities. In our study, a methodology is proposed to analyse at a regional scale the genetic differentiation of T. caerulescens natural populations in relation to Cd hyperaccumulation capacity while controlling for different environmental, soil, plant parameters and geographic origins of populations. Twenty-two populations were characterised with AFLP markers and cpDNA polymorphism. Over all loci, a partial Mantel test showed no significant genetic structure with regard to the Cd hyperaccumulation capacity. Nevertheless, when comparing the marker variation to a neutral model, seven AFLP fragments (9% of markers) were identified as presenting particularly high genetic differentiation between populations with low and high Cd hyperaccumulation capacity. Using simulations, the number of outlier loci was showed to be significantly higher than expected at random. These loci presented a genetic structure linked to Cd hyperaccumulation capacity independently of the geography, environment, soil parameters and Zn, Pb, Fe and Cu concentrations in plants. Using a canonical correspondence analysis, we identified three of them as particularly related to the Cd hyperaccumulation capacity. This study demonstrates that populations with low and high hyperaccumulation capacities can be significantly distinguished based on molecular data. Further investigations with candidate genes and mapped markers may allow identification and characterization of genomic regions linked to factors involved in Cd hyperaccumulation. 相似文献

A population of the metallophyte, Thlaspi caerulescens, originating from a Cd–Pb–Zn old mining and smelter site at Plombières (Belgium) was studied. T. caerulescens was cultivated hydroponically to investigate Cd uptake and tolerance. Cd was added to Hoagland’s medium at concentration range from 5 to 500 μM. The plants could tolerate 500 μM Cd in the solution showing only minor visible symptoms of toxicity but with a 32% decrease in fresh weight. After 14 days at 500 μM, Cd content in roots and shoots was 707 and 602 mg kg −1 of dry weight (d.w.), respectively. Application of Cd to hydroponically cultivated T. caerulescens induced the accumulation of PCs in plant roots and shoots. Buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) application almost completely reduced (by 98–100%) the accumulation of PCs without simultaneous increase in plants sensitivity to Cd. These results suggest a minor if any role of PCs in tolerance to Cd of the studied population of T. caerulescens in hydroponics. On the other hand, no PC accumulation was detected either in T. caerulescens plants growing in their natural environment at Plombierès or in plants growing in their native soil in a greenhouse. These results suggest that naturally selected tolerance in T. caerulescens population from Plombières is not associated with enhanced PCs synthesis. 相似文献

Thlaspi caerulescens J. & C. Presl is a distinctive metallophyte of central and western Europe that almost invariably hyperaccumulates Zn to> 1.0% of shoot dry biomass in its natural habitats, and can hyperaccumulate Ni to> 0.1% when growing on serpentine soils. Populations from the Ganges region of southern France also have a remarkable ability to accumulate Cd in their shoots to concentrations well in excess of 0.01% without apparent toxicity symptoms. Because hyperaccumulation of Cd appears to be highly variable in this species, the relationship between Cd tolerance and metal accumulation was investigated for seven contrasting populations of T. caerulescens grown under controlled conditions in solution culture. The populations varied considerably in average plant biomass (3.1‐fold), shoot : root ratio (2.2‐fold), Cd hyperaccumulation (3.5‐fold), shoot : root Cd‐concentration ratio (3.1‐fold), and shoot Cd : Zn ratio (2.6‐fold), but the degree of hyperaccumulation of Cd and Zn were strongly correlated. Two populations from the Ganges region were distinct in exhibiting high degrees of both Cd tolerance and hyperaccumulation (one requiring 3 µM Cd for optimal growth), whereas across the other five populations there was an inverse relationship between Cd tolerance and hyperaccumulation, as has been noted previously for Zn. Metal hyperaccumulation was negatively correlated with shoot : root ratio, which could account quantitatively for the differences between populations in shoot Zn (but not Cd) concentrations. On exposure to 30 µM Cd, the two Ganges populations showed marked reductions in shoot Zn and Fe concentrations, although Cd accumulation was not inhibited by elevated Zn; in the other five populations, 30 µM Cd had little or no effect on Zn or Fe accumulation but markedly reduced shoot Ca concentration. These results support a proposal that Cd is taken up predominantly via a high‐affinity uptake system for Fe in the Ganges populations, but via a lower‐affinity pathway for Ca in other populations. Total shoot Cd accumulated per plant was much more closely related to population Cd tolerance than Cd hyperaccumulation, indicating that metal tolerance may be the more important selection criterion in developing lines with greatest phytoremediation potential. 相似文献

When grown on contaminated soil, hyperaccumulator plants contain high concentrations of metals which may return to the soil
after senescence. This work was undertaken to assess the availability of Cd and Zn associated to the leaves of the hyperaccumulator
Thlaspi caerulescens after incorporation into an uncontaminated soil. A Zn- and Cd- accumulator population of T. caerulescens was grown on a Cd- and Zn- contaminated soil previously labelled with 109Cd. Leaves (TCL) were harvested, dried, ground and incorporated into the soil at a rate of 2.07 mg Cd kg −1 and 51.9 mg Zn kg −1. Then a pot experiment was conducted for 3 months with rye grass ( Lolium perenne) and T. caerulescens. Rye grass was harvested monthly and T. caerulescens at the end of the experiment. Plant biomass was measured, along with the concentration of Cd, Zn and 109Cd. Results showed that water-extractable metals in TCL were 69% for Zn and 33% for Cd. Addition of TCL to soil, depleted
growth of rye grass, and improved that of T. caerulescens. At harvest, concentrations of both metals were increased in plants by TCL. Concentrations of Cd in rye grass increased with
the cut number, while that of Zn decreased slightly. Rye grass extracted 1.6% of the total Cd and 0.9% of the total Zn, and
T. caerulescens extracted up to 22.4% of the Cd and 7% of the Zn. About 94% of the Cd in rye grass and 86% in T. caerulescens was derived from TCL. In conclusion, metals associated with leaves of the hyperaccumulator T. caerulescens were very mobile after incorporation into the soil.

AimsData on the variability of hyperaccumulation potential of the facultative serpentinophytes Noccaea kovatsii and N. praecox on different geological substrates are scarce. The aim of this study was to assess the accumulation potential of these two species from ultramafic and non-ultramafic substrates, with special emphasis on the hyperaccumulation of Ni, Zn and Cd. MethodsSamples of plants and corresponding soils were collected from 16 sites covering a wide range of geochemistry. Elemental concentrations were determined in the roots, shoots and the rhizosphere soils. The pH, particle size distribution and content of organic matter were also determined in the soil samples. ResultsAll ultramafic accessions of both species hyperaccumulated Ni with high intraspecific variability. Only one accession of N. kovatsii from a schist soil hyperaccumulated Zn, with also a high Cd accumulation. Accumulation and translocation of Ni in both species were much higher in the ultramafic accessions, whereas Zn accumulation and translocation was found in both ultramafic and non-ultramafic accessions. ConclusionsNi accumulation and translocation was restricted to ultramafic populations of both species, whereas it is a species-wide trait for Zn. This study provides new and comprehensive information on the natural variation of hyperaccumulation of Ni, Zn and Cd in N. kovatsii and N. praecox. 相似文献

Co-planting crops normally decreases the main crop yield due to the reduced soil surface area occupied by the main crop. However, in our previous experiments, co-planting Sedum alfredii, a shade-requiring, Cd and Zn-hyperaccumulating plant, with corn increased the biomass and metal phytoextraction of S. alfredii. This experiment was conducted to verify if co-planting another hyperaccumulator, Thlaspi caerulescens, with ryegrass ( Lolium perenne) in a pot-trial could obtain a similar result. The soil was separated by two permeable nets with a 2 mm interface soil layer to obtain a shared rhizosphere zone. Soluble metal concentrations in the soil in different rooting zones were measured using 0.01 mol L ?1 CaCl 2 extraction. The results showed that the growth of T. caerulescens was significantly promoted by co-planting, with a growth increase of about 2-fold compared with monoculture growth. The total uptake of Cd and Zn by T. caerulescens was not decreased by co-planting, and resulted in similar phytoextraction rates for Cd (about 26.6% of the soil total Cd) and Zn (about 2.4% of the soil total Zn) when compared with monoculture, though the T. caerulescens population was decreased by 50% because of co-planting. Analysis of soil samples showed that T. caerulescens substantially reduced the concentrations of 0.01 mol L ?1 CaCl 2 extractable Cd and Zn throughout the soil, even in the interface area and the ryegrass rooting area. The ryegrass roots did not mobilize more metals for the co-planted T. caerulescens. Based on these results, existing grass on contaminated land could be partly left while planting metal hyperaccumulators for phytoremediation in order to reduce runoff from the contaminated soil. However a field scale trial would be required for these results to be verified. 相似文献

Aims The aim of the present study was to compare lead accumulation and tolerance among heavy metal hyperaccumulating and non-hyperaccumulating metallophytes. Methods To this purpose, we compared Pb tolerance and accumulation in hydroponics among calamine and non-calamine populations of Silene vulgaris, Noccaea caerulescens, and Matthiola flavida. We established the effects of Ca on Pb tolerance and accumulation in M. flavida, and measured exchangeable soil Pb and Ca at two calamine sites. Results Results revealed that calamine populations of S. vulgaris and N. caerulescens were Pb hypertolerant, but the calamine M. flavida population was not. Pb hyperaccumulation capacity was exclusively found in one of the calamine N. caerulescens populations. Conclusions 1) Pb hypertolerance is sometimes lacking in metallophyte populations from strongly Pb-enriched soil, probably due to a relatively high level of exchangeable soil Ca, 2) Ca effectively counteracts Pb uptake and Pb toxicity, 3) The tendency to hyperaccumulate Pb is a population-specific phenomenon in N. caerulescens, 4) Pb hypertolerance in N. caerulescens is not necessarily associated with a tendency to hyperaccumulate Pb, 5) apparent natural Pb hyperaccumulation in M. flavida is not reproducible in hydroponics, probably due to the absence of air-born contamination in laboratory experiments. 相似文献

Growth, organic acid and phytochelatin accumulation, as well as the activity of several antioxidative enzymes, i.e. superoxide
dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) guaiacol peroxidase (POX) and catalase (CAT) were investigated under Zn and Cd
stress in hydroponically growing plants of Thlaspi caerulescens population from Plombières, Belgium. Tissue Zn and Cd concentration increased (the highest concentration of both was in roots)
as the concentration of these metals increased in the nutrient solution. Increasing Zn concentration enhanced plant growth,
while with Cd it declined compared to the control. Both metals stimulated malate accumulation in shoots, Zn also caused citrate
to increase. Zn did not induce phytochelatin (PC) accumulation. In plants exposed to Cd, PC concentration increased with increasing
Cd concentration, but decreased with time of exposure. Under Zn stress SOD activity increased, but APX activity was higher
at 500 and 1000 μM Zn and CAT activity only at 500 μM Zn in comparison with the control. CAT activity decreased in Cd- and Zn-stressed plants. The results suggest that relative
to other populations, a T. caerulescens population from Plombières, when grown in hydroponics, was characterized by low Zn and Cd uptake and their translocation
to shoots and tolerance to both metals. The accumulation of malate and citrate, but not PC accumulation was responsible for
Zn tolerance. Cd tolerance seems to be due to neither PC production nor accumulation of organic acids. 相似文献

Phytoextraction of Cd by some populations of Thlaspi caerulescens which have the ability to co-hyperaccumulate Cd and Zn requires information about the distribution of both metals within the plant at the organ-level. This work was conducted to determine whether the distribution and solubility of Cd and Zn in Thlaspi caerulescens are affected by the age of plant and organ, and whether Cd and Zn have a common distribution in the plant in soils contaminated by both metals. A series of pot experiments were conducted where a Cd- and Zn-hyperaccumulating population was grown on soils contaminated by Cd and Zn. Temporal changes in metal concentration of roots and of shoots was recorded, along with the water and CaCl 2 solubility of metals in the plant organs. Also, leaves were grouped according to their age and their respective content of Cd and Zn was measured. Both metals were present at higher concentrations in leaves than in roots. The whole-plant content of Zn decreased with time while that of Cd increased or remained unchanged. At harvest, young leaves exhibited higher Cd concentration than older, but the reverse was true for Zn. Both metals were more soluble in dry leaves and senescent leaves than in fresh material, and Zn was more water-soluble than Cd. In conclusion, the distribution of Cd and Zn in the hyperaccumulator T. caerulescensvaried according to the organ and plant age, and Cd and Zn were shown to have a different distribution within the plant. 相似文献

Aims Evaluate the genetic and environmental variability of metal concentration and metal mass of Noccaea caerulescens, from metalliferous (MET), non metalliferous (NMET) and serpentine (SERP) soils. Methods 18 populations were cultivated in 18 different growth conditions, such as a soil mine tailing, soils amended with zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd) and nickel (Ni) salts (in mixtures or in monometallic salts) and a hydroponic solution with two Zn concentrations. Results MET populations had Zn concentrations lower than NMET and SERP in the different soils but higher Cd mass (the product of aerial biomass and foliar metal concentration). SERP had the highest Ni concentration and Ni mass values. The addition of Cd or Ni to a Zn-contaminated soil significantly decreases Zn concentration. In hydroponics, MET and NMET had equivalent Zn concentrations but these were three times higher than those obtained in soil experiments. Zn mass of NMET was significantly lower than MET with the latter having Zn mass values largely above those obtained in mine soil. Conclusions Results showed a large heterogeneity of responses among populations depending on the substrate used, and it was not possible to correctly assign a single population to its accurate origin with only one experiment. Finally, data on metal concentration obtained in culture soils are closer to those in field soils than those from hydroponics so that they could give a more accurate information on the accumulating capacity of Noccaea caerulescens and its use in phytoextraction of metals in field conditions. 相似文献

BackgroundHeavy metals that pass through the plasmalemma are expected to influence on lichen metabolic processes; however, lichens may tolerate high concentrations of metals by sequestrating them extracellularly. Heavy metal accumulation level fundamentally determine the success of lichens in the colonisation of polluted sites; however, the proportions between extra- and intracellular metal concentrations in lichen thalli are still poorly recognized. In this study metal accumulation patterns of selected toxic trace elements, i.e. Pb, Cd, and micronutrients, i.e. Zn, Cu and Ni, in Cladonia cariosa thalli were recognised in relation to extra- and intracellular fractions. MethodsThe intracellular and total concentrations of Zn, Pb, Cd, Cu and Ni in lichen thalli collected from eleven variously polluted sites were determined by means of atomic absorption spectrometry. Additionally, organic carbon and total nitrogen contents as well as pH of soil substrate were measured. ResultsThe accumulation patterns differed between studied metal elements; the major part of Zn, Pb and Cd loads was accumulated extracellularly, whereas Cu and Ni accumulation was mostly intracellular. Like toxic trace elements, Zn was accumulated mainly extracellularly at high polluted sites. The non-linear models most reliably reflect relationships between intracellular and extracellular metal contents in C. cariosa thalli. The intracellular contents of Zn, Pb, Cd and Cu increased slower at higher than at lower extracellular concentrations. Moreover, at higher total concentrations of elements in the thalli, their extracellular proportions were markedly increased. ConclusionThe results suggest that in the face of extreme Zn-enrichment, lichens demonstrate the ability to accumulate the excess of Zn outside the cells. Therefore, it can be concluded that metal accumulation depend not only on the element but also on its abundance in the environment and direct availability for lichens. The studied species showed a defence against excessive intracellular accumulation when a given element is in excess. Such capability may facilitate the colonization of extremely polluted sites by certain pioneer lichens. 相似文献

The heavy metal hyperaccumulator Thlaspi caerulescens occurs both on heavy metal polluted soils (metallicolous ecotype MET) and on soils with normal heavy metal content (non-metallicolous ecotype: NMET). In order to assess the extent and structure of variation in growth, shoot accumulation of Cd, Zn and mineral element (Ca, Mg, K, Fe), a MET ecotype from Belgium and a NMET ecotype from Luxembourg were studied. Seven maternal families from two populations of each ecotype were grown on both Cd and Zn contaminated soil. Although both ecotypes presented a similar heavy metal tolerance in the experimental conditions tested, they differed in several points. The MET populations had markedly higher biomass and higher root:shoot ratio compared to NMET populations. The Zn, and at lesser extent, the Cd hyperaccumulation capacity tended to be higher in the NMET populations. The same trend was observed for the foliar concentrations of Mg, Ca and Fe with NMET populations having higher concentrations compared to MET ones. Cd and Zn concentrations were negatively correlated with the biomass of both ecotype. However, the negative correlation between the Zn and biomass was much lower in MET ecotype suggesting a tighter control of internal Zn concentration in this ecotype. Finally, although the Cd phytoextraction capacity was similar in both ecotype, a higher Zn phytoextraction capacity was detected in NMET ecotype when these plants grow on moderate Cd and Zn concentrations. 相似文献

Thlaspi praecox (Brassicaceae) is a recently discovered metal hyperaccumulating plant species colonized by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). The identity and diversity of the AMF colonizing its roots have not been determined so far. Therefore, T. praecox was inoculated with an indigenous fungal mixture from a metal polluted site and grown in original polluted soil/ commercial substrate mixtures (i.e., 100%, 50%, and 25%). Low to moderate mycorrhizal frequencies (F = 33–68%) and only rare arbuscules were observed. Densities of vesicles and microsclerotia, typical structures of dark septate endophytes (DSE), were greater in pots with 100% original polluted soil. In contrast, the highest diversity of fungal genotypes was observed in the roots from 25% polluted soil/ commercial substrate mixture, with the lowest soil concentrations of Cd, Zn, and Pb. The sequences obtained corresponded to Glomus species (Glomeromycota), to putative DSE Phialophora verrucosa and Rhizoctonia sp. and to some other fungi from Asco- and Basidiomycota, that are known to associate with plants, namely Capnobotryella sp., Penicillium brevicompactum, Rodotorula aurantiaca and Rodotorula slooffiae. This is the first report of DSE occurrence in roots of hyperaccumulating T. praecox, a promising candidate for phytoextraction. 相似文献
