Variety-dependent responses of common tobacco with differential cadmium resistance: Cadmium uptake and distribution, antioxidative activity, and gene expression.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd), which accumulates in tobacco leaves, enters the human body through inhalation of smoke, causing harmful effects on health. Therefore, identifying the pivotal factors that govern the absorption and resistance of Cd in tobacco is crucial for mitigating the harmful impact of Cd. In the present study, four different Cd-sensitive varieties, namely, ZhongChuan208 (ZC) with resistance, ZhongYan100 (ZY), K326 with moderate resistance, and YunYan87 (YY) with sensitivity, were cultivated in hydroponic with different Cd concentrations (20 µM, 40 µM, 60 µM and 80 µM). The results indicated that plant growth was significantly decreased by Cd. Irrespective of the Cd concentration, ZC exhibited the highest biomass, while YY had the lowest biomass; ZY and K326 showed intermediate levels. Enzymatic (APX, CAT, POD) and nonenzymatic antioxidant (Pro, GSH) systems showed notable variations among varieties. The multifactor analysis suggested that the ZC and ZY varieties, with higher levels of Pro and GSH content, contribute to a decrease in the levels of MDA and ROS. Among all the Cd concentrations, ZC exhibited the lowest Cd accumulation, while YY showed the highest. Additionally, there were significant differences observed in Cd distribution and translocation factors among the four different varieties. In terms of Cd distribution, cell wall Cd accounted for the highest proportion of total Cd, and organelles had the lowest proportion. Among the varieties, ZC showed lower Cd levels in the cell wall, soluble fraction, and organelles. Conversely, YY exhibited the highest Cd accumulation in all tissues; K326 and ZY had intermediate levels. Translocation factors (TF) varied among the varieties under Cd stress, with ZC and ZY showing lower TF compared to YY and K326. This phenomenon mainly attributed to regulation of the NtNramp3 and NtNramp5 genes, which are responsible for the absorption and transport of Cd. This study provides a theoretical foundation for the selection and breeding of tobacco varieties that are resistant to or accumulate less Cd.

FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2023; 14:1145012.

Abstract
This experiment investigated the changes of rhizosphere soil microenvironment for hyperaccumulation-soil system under Cd stress in order to reveal the mechanism of hyperaccumulation and tolerance. Thus, Cd fractions, chemical compositions, and biochemical characteristics in rhizosphere soil of Siegesbeckia orientalis L. under Cd stress conditions of 0, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, and 150 mg kg-1 were investigated through a root bag experiment, respectively. As a result, Cd induced the acidification of S. orientalis rhizosphere soil, and promoted the accumulation of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and readily oxidizable organic carbon (ROC), which increased by 28.39% and 6.98% at the maximum compared with control. The percentage of labile Cd (acid-soluble and reducible Cd) in soil solution increased significantly (P < 0.05) from 31.87% to 64.60% and from 26.00% to 34.49%, respectively. In addition, rhizosphere microenvironment can alleviate the inhibition of Cd on soil microorganisms and enzymes compare with bulk soils. Under medium and low concentrations of Cd, the rhizosphere soil microbial biomass carbon (MBC), basal respiration, ammonification and nitrification were significantly increased (P < 0.05), and the activities of key enzymes were not significantly inhibited. This suggests that pH reduction and organic carbon (DOC and ROC) accumulation increase the bioavailability of Cd and may have contributed to Cd accumulation in S. orientalis. Moreover, microorganisms and enzymes in rhizosphere soils can enhance S. orientalis tolerance to Cd, alleviating the nutrient imbalance and toxicity caused by Cd pollution. This study revealed the changes of physicochemical and biochemical properties of rhizosphere soil under Cd stress. Rhizosphere soil acidification and organic carbon accumulation are key factors promoting Cd activation, and microorganisms and enzymes are the responses of Cd tolerance.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most toxic contaminants, causing a lot of harm to environment and the human health. An outdoor pot experiment for 60 days was conducted to study the Cd(II) effects on growth, biomass, physiological properties, Cd uptake, and accumulation in Youngia japonica plants but also to evaluate the effect of Y. japonica growth on enzyme activity of Cd-contamination soils. Generally, the application of Cd(II) less than 120 mg kg-1 stimulated the growth of the plants, whereas at 160 mg kg-1 or higher levels, a significant reduction was observed. For all treatments > 10 mg kg-1 Cd(II) in soil, values of Cd in roots and aboveground parts were more than the critical value of 100 mg kg-1 and reached highest values of 252.51 and 314.29 mg kg-1, respectively. The bioconcentration factors (BCF) and translation factors (TF) for all Cd treatments were more than 1.0, with the former ranging from 1.03 to 5.46 and the later from 1.04 to 1.33. The activities of peroxidase (POD) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), as well as the levels of glutathione (GSH) and proline in Y. japonica plants after exposure to 10-200 mg kg-1 Cd(II) were stimulated, implying that they were defensive guards to the oxidative stress produced by Cd. The urease, dehydrogenase, and alkaline phosphatase activities under low Cd concentrations can be enhanced by planting Y. japonica species but inhibited under high Cd concentrations. Our data provide comprehensive evidence that Y. japonica has the typical properties of a Cd hyperaccumulator and thus may be practically employed to alleviate Cd from contaminated soils.

Abstract
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) has relatively high tolerance to cadmium (Cd), but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Growth and physiological parameters of wheat exposed to different Cd concentrations (0, 0.5, 5 and 50 µM) were characterized. The fresh weight, leaf chlorophyll and carotenoid concentrations and photosynthesis parameters did not differ among Cd treatments, suggesting relatively high Cd tolerance in wheat. However, the soluble sugar concentrations increased with the increasing Cd concentration and the soluble protein concentrations decreased in both shoots and roots, suggesting that the Cd application promoted nitrogen metabolism over carbon metabolism. In addition, the higher concentrations of MDA, GSH and AsA and activities of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, POD, and CAT) were observed in leaves and roots in the Cd50 treatment. Our results reveal that wheat can tolerate Cd by enhancing the antioxidant enzymes activities and increasing the concentration of ascorbate and glutathione.
