摘要: 采用水培方式,结合根伸长、吸附-解吸和流动电位测定,研究Cu2+和Cd2+对玉米根系毒性的差异及其与根表重金属吸附量的关系,探讨了共存阳离子和有机酸对玉米受Cu2+和Cd2+毒害的缓解作用及其机制。结果表明,在相同浓度条件下,Cu2+对玉米根系的毒性强于Cd2+,这主要是玉米根系表面吸附的交换态、络合态和沉淀态Cu2+含量大于Cd2+所致。当Cu2+和Cd2+浓度均为1 μmol·L-1时,玉米根系相对伸长率分别为52.40%和96.23%。当Cu2+和Cd2+浓度均为40 μmol·L-1时,玉米根系表面吸附的交换态、络合态和沉淀态Cu2+含量分别为相应形态Cd2+的1.22、4.36和2.45倍。当pH值为4.5时,共存的Ca2+、Mg2+、K+和NH4+等阳离子通过与2种重金属阳离子竞争玉米根系表面的吸附位可降低根系对重金属阳离子的吸附量,从而缓解玉米根系受Cu2+和Cd2+的毒害,二价阳离子(Ca2+和Mg2+)的缓解作用强于一价阳离子(K+和NH4+)。柠檬酸、草酸、酒石酸和苹果酸通过与重金属阳离子形成稳定的络合物减少玉米根系对2种重金属阳离子的吸附,从而缓解重金属对玉米根系的毒害。4种有机酸缓解作用由大到小依次为草酸 > 柠檬酸 > 酒石酸≈苹果酸,这与上述有机酸对2种重金属阳离子的络合能力大小顺序基本一致。因此,通过减少植物根系对交换态和络合态重金属的吸附,可以有效减缓重金属对植物的毒害。

Abstract: A solution culture experiment combined with measurements of root elongation, adsorption-desorption, and streaming potential, were used to evaluate the toxicity of Cu2+ and Cd2+ to maize roots as related with the chemical forms of the metals adsorbed on root surfaces. The alleviative effects of coexisting cations and organic acids on Cu2+/Cd2+ toxicity to maize as well as the related mechanisms were also investigated. The results show that the toxicity of Cu2+ to maize roots was greater than that of Cd2+ at the same concentration. This was attributed to the fact that more Cu2+ was adsorbed on the root surface as exchangeable, complexed and precipitated forms compared with Cd2+. When the concentration of Cu2+ and Cd2+ was 1 μmol·L-1, the relative root elongation rates of maize were reduced by 52.40% and 96.23%, respectively, compared with those of the control. When the metal concentration was 40 μmol·L-1, the amounts of exchangeable, complexed and precipitated Cu2+ on the root surface were 1.22, 4.36 and 2.45 times that of Cd2+, respectively. At pH 4.5, coexisting cations of Ca2+, Mg2+, K+ or NH4+ reduced the amount of heavy metals adsorbed on the root surface through competition for adsorption sites and thereby alleviating the toxicity of Cu2+ and Cd2+. Additionally, the alleviative effects of the divalent cations of Ca2+ and Mg2+ were greater than those of the monovalent cations of K+ and NH4+. Furthermore, citric acid, oxalic acid, tartaric acid, and malic acid alleviated Cu2+ and Cd2+ toxicity to maize by forming stable complexes with the cations and reducing the amount of the metals adsorbed onto the roots. The alleviating effects of the organic acids on Cu2+ and Cd2+ toxicity followed the order: oxalic acid > citrate > tartaric acid ≈ malic acid, which was consistent with the complexation ability of these organic acids. Therefore, the toxicity of heavy metals to plant roots can be effectively alleviated by reducing the adsorption quantity of their exchangeable and complexed forms on root surfaces.

Key words: coexisting cation, organic acid, Cu2+/Cd2+, maize, adsorption-desorption, relative root elongation
