Abstract: | Soluble root exudates were collected from three plants (Nicotiana tabacum L., Nicotiana rustica L. and Zea mays L.), grown under axenic and hydroponic conditions, in order to study their metal-solubilizing ability for Cd and other cations
(Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Zn). Nicotiana spp. and Zea mays L. root exudates differed markedly in C/N ratio, sugars vs. amino acids ratio and organic acids content. Metals from two soils were extracted with either root exudate solutions, containing
equal amounts of organic carbon, or distilled water as control. In the presence or absence of root exudates, the solubility
of Fe and Mn was much higher than of the four other metals tested. Root exudates increased the solubilities of Mn and Cu,
whereas those of Ni and Zn were not affected. Root exudates of Nicotiana spp. enhanced the solubility of Cd. The extent of Cd extraction by root exudates (N. tabacum L. N. rustica L. Zea mays L.) was similar to the order of Cd bioavailability to these three plants when grown on soil. An increase in Cd solubility
in the rhizosphere of apical root zones due to root exudates is likely to be an important cause of the relatively high Cd
accumulation in Nicotiana spp. |
