Alleviating Effect of Silicon Fertilizer on Wheat Seedlings Under Cadmium Stress and Its Physiological Mechanism
Cadmium (Cd) accumulation in wheat and its transfer into the food chain represent a major global environmental concern. To clarify the physiological mechanism by which silicon (Si) fertilizer alleviates cadmium toxicity in wheat, the paper used the wheat variety ‘Bainong 607’ and conducted a hydroponic experiment. 4 treatments were set up, including control (CK), Cd treatment (Cd, 44.4 µmol/L), Si treatment (Si, 1 mmol/L), and combined Si and Cd treatment (Si+Cd, 1 mmol/L Si+44.4 µmol/L Cd), to investigate the alleviating effects of Si on seedlings growth, root development, Cd accumulation, and the antioxidant system under Cd stress. The results showed that compared with CK, Cd treatment significantly inhibited wheat seedling growth, reducing plant height, fresh weight, dry weight, root surface area, and root volume by 4.3%, 26.5%, 42.9%, 27.4%, and 35.4%, respectively. Compared with Cd treatment, Si+Cd treatment significantly alleviated Cd toxicity, increasing fresh weight, dry weight, root length, root surface area, and root volume by 29.2%, 37.5%, 18.4%, 26.8%, and 37.5%, respectively; meanwhile, Si+Cd treatment significantly altered the Cd distribution in wheat seedlings: the Cd content in the aboveground stems and leaves decreased by 3.3% and 18.4%, respectively, while the Cd retention in the roots increased by 15.7%, reducing the Cd translocation factor from the roots to the aboveground parts. Furthermore, compared with Cd treatment, Si+Cd treatment significantly reduced root malondialdehyde (MDA) content by 27.5% and regulated peroxidase (POD) activity, effectively mitigating oxidative damage. In conclusion, Si application can effectively alleviate Cd stress in wheat seedlings by promoting root development, inhibiting Cd upward transport, and enhancing the antioxidant defense system. These findings provide a theoretical basis for using Si fertilizer to reduce Cd-induced harm and ensure safe wheat production in soils moderately and lightly contaminated with Cd.

Heavy metal content in soil and the most abundant indigenous plant species (Artemisia sieberi) in Sarcheshmeh area is investigated. Sequential extraction analysis is carried out and phytoavailable fractions of selected heavy metals are also determined. The results show that heavy metals in the study area are potentially bioavailable. Calculated transfer factor (mean value for Cu: 5.7; As: 8.9; Pb: 4.1; Mo: 7.2; Cd: 1.9; and Zn: 1.8) and heavy metal concentration in plant species indicate that metal contamination is already transferred to Artemisia sieberi which proved to behave like an accumulator plant and hence poses a serious threat to local population. Contamination is mostly the result of three decades of ore smelting at the Sarcheshmeh copper complex.

Silicon (Si) alleviates cadmium (Cd) toxicity in rice (Oryza sativa). However, the chemical mechanisms at the single-cell level are poorly understood. Here, a suspension of rice cells exposed to Cd and/or Si treatments was investigated using a combination of plant cell nutritional, molecular biological, and physical techniques including in situ noninvasive microtest technology (NMT), polymerase chain reaction (PCR), inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) in Kelvin probe mode (KPFM). We found that Si-accumulating cells had a significantly reduced net Cd(2+) influx, compared with that in Si-limited cells. PCR analyses of the expression levels of Cd and Si transporters in rice cells showed that, when the Si concentration in the medium was increased, expression of the Si transporter gene Low silicon rice 1 (Lsi1) was up-regulated, whereas expression of the gene encoding the transporter involved in the transport of Cd, Natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 5 (Nramp5), was down-regulated. ICP-MS results revealed that 64% of the total Si in the cell walls was bound to hemicellulose constituents following the fractionation of the cell walls, and consequently inhibited Cd uptake. Furthermore, AFM in KPFM demonstrated that the heterogeneity of the wall surface potential was higher in cells cultured in the presence of Si than in those cultured in its absence, and was homogenized after the addition of Cd. These results suggest that a hemicellulose-bound form of Si with net negative charges is responsible for inhibition of Cd uptake in rice cells by a mechanism of [Si-hemicellulose matrix]Cd complexation and subsequent co-deposition. © 2015 The Authors.
