Abstract
Background and aims
Cadmium (Cd)-contaminated wheat grains seriously threaten human health. Here, a novel iron/zinc-supported biochar (Fe/Zn-BC) was prepared and applied to investigate the remediation effects of alkaline soil and wheat contaminated with Cd, focusing on the influence mechanism on the Cd and coexisting elements accumulation in wheat.
Methods
We performed various doses of BC and Fe/Zn-BC treatment in the winter wheat pots. The available Cd content and Cd fraction in the soil, and Cd, Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, Ni, and Pb contents in wheat tissues were determined.
Results
The results showed that the contents of DTPA-Cd and DTPA-Pb were significantly reduced by 33-54% and 10-27% in the Fe/Zn-BC treated soil, respectively. The reduction rates of Cd in wheat root, straw, node, flag leaf, and grain in Fe/Zn-BC treatments were better than those of BC treatments. Furthermore, Zn, Fe, and Mn contents increased significantly in root, straw, node, flag leaf and grain. Both the bioaccumulation factor (BF) and transfer factor (TF) of Cd were decreased with the addition of Fe/Zn-BC, expect for the TFleaf/root. Structural equation model fitting results showed that inhibition of Cd uptake by root and promoting Cd transport from root to flag leaf were the main pathways to reduce grain Cd content. Increasing the coexisting elements of Zn and Mn to reduce the accumulation of Cd in grains through antagonism was another important mechanism in the Fe/Zn-BC treatments.
Conclusion
Fe/Zn-BC was an amendment that efficiently reduced Cd accumulation in wheat grains and had great potential for remediation of Cd-contaminated soil.
期刊介绍：
Plant and Soil publishes original papers and review articles exploring the interface of plant biology and soil sciences, and that enhance our mechanistic understanding of plant-soil interactions. We focus on the interface of plant biology and soil sciences, and seek those manuscripts with a strong mechanistic component which develop and test hypotheses aimed at understanding underlying mechanisms of plant-soil interactions. Manuscripts can include both fundamental and applied aspects of mineral nutrition, plant water relations, symbiotic and pathogenic plant-microbe interactions, root anatomy and morphology, soil biology, ecology, agrochemistry and agrophysics, as long as they are hypothesis-driven and enhance our mechanistic understanding. Articles including a major molecular or modelling component also fall within the scope of the journal. All contributions appear in the English language, with consistent spelling, using either American or British English.
