Pb and Cd uptake in rice roots

Kim, Yu‐Young, Yang, Young‐Yell, Lee, Youngsook·2002·Physiologia Plantarum

Abstract

Pb and Cd are heavy metal pollutants that inhibit plant growth. Using a cultivated rice variety (Dongjin, Oryza sativa L.), we studied how the transport and toxicity of Pb 2+ and Cd 2+ are affected by the presence of K+, Ca 2+ or Mg 2+. K+ had a little effect on uptake or toxicity of Pb 2+ and Cd 2+. Ca 2+ or Mg 2+ blocked both Cd 2+ transport into rice roots and Cd 2+ toxicity on root growth, which suggested that their detoxification effect is directly related to their blocking of entry of the heavy metals. Similarly, Ca 2+ blocked both Pb 2+ transport into the root and Pb 2+ toxicity on root growth. The protective effect of Ca 2+ on Pb 2+ toxicity may be related to its inhibition of the heavy metal accumulation in the root tip, a potential target site of Pb 2+ toxicity. Mg 2+ did not ameliorate the Pb 2+ toxicity on root growth as much as Ca 2+ did, although it decreased Pb 2+ uptake into roots similarly as Ca 2+ did. These results suggest that the protective effect of Ca 2+ on Pb 2+ toxicity may involve multiple mechanisms including competition at the entry level, and that Pb 2+ and Cd 2+ may compete with divalent cations for transport into roots of rice plants.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
