Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) contamination in rice ecosystems posed a critical challenge to global food security and environmental health. This study aimed to unveil the key mechanisms trough hydroponic experiments by which chloride (Cl-) promoted the absorption and accumulation of cadmium (Cd) in rice plants. The findings elucidated that the addition of Cl- increased Cd uptake by rice roots (5.1 % ∼ 61 %), acting both directly by enhancing root morphology and indirectly through regulating of the main transporter genes of Cd. The study unveiled that Cl- addition significantly improves Cd bioavailability in roots, which was discernible through the augmentation of Cd concentration and proportion in subcellular fractions, coupled with elevated energy values in key cellular components. Moreover, Cl- addition further augmented the intricate process of Cd transport from roots to shoots (16.1- 86.7 %), which was mainly attributed to the underexpression of OsHMA3 and the decrease in the formation of sulfuhydryl substances. This research provides a comprehensive understanding of the complex mechanisms governing Cd dynamics in rice plants in the presence of Cl-. By elucidating these processes, our findings not only contribute to fundamental knowledge in plant metal uptake but also hold promising implications for mitigating Cd contamination in rice cultivation systems.

Abstract
The efficient use of pesticides has long been a topic of public concern, necessitating a thorough understanding of their movement in plants. This study investigates the translocation and distribution of penthiopyrad in pakchoi plants cultivated both in hydroponic and soil-cultivated conditions. Results indicate that penthiopyrad predominantly accumulates in the roots, with concentrations of 11.3-53.9 mg/kg following root application, and in the leaves, with concentrations of 2.0-17.1 mg/kg following foliar application. The bioconcentration factor exceeded 1, with values ranging from 1.2 to 23.9 for root application and 6.4 to 164.0 for foliar application, indicating a significant role in the absorption and accumulation processes. The translocation factor data, which were <1, suggest limited the translocations within pakchoi plants. The limitation may be attributed to the hydrophobic properties of penthiopyrad (log Kow = 3.86), as evidenced by its predominant distribution in the subcellular solid fractions of pakchoi tissues, accounting for 93.1% to 99.5% of the total proportion. Six metabolites (753-A-OH, M12, 754-T-DO, M11, PCA, and PAM) were identified in this study as being formed during this process. These findings provide valuable insights into the absorption, translocation, and metabolism of penthiopyrad in pakchoi.

[PMID: 37623623 PMCID: PMC10455880 DOI: 10.3390/jof9080852] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2023] [Revised: 08/08/2023] [Accepted: 08/13/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023] Open
Abstract
In nature, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play a crucial role in the root systems of plants. They can help enhance the resistance of host plants by improving the compartmentalization of toxic metal contaminants in the cell walls (CWs). However, the functions and responses of various CW subfractions to mycorrhizal colonization under Cd exposure remain unknown. Here we conducted a study to investigate how Cd is stored in the cell walls of maize roots colonized by Funneliformis mosseae. Our findings indicate that inoculating the roots with AMF significantly lowers the amount of Cd in the maize shoots (63.6 ± 6.54 mg kg-1 vs. 45.3 ± 2.19 mg kg-1, p < 0.05) by retaining more Cd in the mycorrhized roots (224.0 ± 17.13 mg kg-1 vs. 289.5 ± 8.75 mg kg-1, p < 0.01). This reduces the adverse effects of excessive Cd on the maize plant. Additional research on the subcellular distribution of Cd showed that AMF colonization significantly improves the compartmentalization of 88.2% of Cd in the cell walls of maize roots, compared to the 80.8% of Cd associated with cell walls in the non-mycorrhizal controls. We observed that the presence of AMF did not increase the amount of Cd in pectin, a primary binding site for cell walls; however, it significantly enhanced the content of lignin and the proportion of Cd in the total root cell walls. This finding is consistent with the increased activity of lignin-related enzymes, such as PAL, 4CL, and laccase, which were also positively impacted by mycorrhizal colonization. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results revealed that AMF increased the number and types of functional groups, including -OH/-NH and carboxylate, which chelate Cd in the lignin. Our research shows that AMF can improve the ability of maize plants to tolerate Cd by reducing the amount of Cd transferred from the roots to the shoots. This is achieved by increasing the amount of lignin in the cell walls, which binds with Cd and prevents it from moving through the plant. This is accomplished by activating enzymes related to lignin synthesis and increasing the exposure of Cd-binding functional groups of lignin. However, more direct evidence on the immobilization of Cd in the mycorrhiza-altered cell wall subfractions is needed.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy element for plant growth and development, and plants have evolved many strategies to cope with Cd stress. However, the mechanisms how plants sense Cd stress and regulate the function of transporters remain very rudimentary. Here, we found that Cd stress induces obvious Ca2+ signals in Arabidopsis roots. Furthermore, we identified the calcium-dependent protein kinases CPK21 and CPK23 that interacted with the Cd transporter NRAMP6 through a variety of protein interaction techniques. Then, we confirmed that the cpk21 23 double mutants significantly enhanced the sensitive phenotype of cpk23 single mutant under Cd stress, while the overexpression and continuous activation of CPK21 and CPK23 enhanced plants tolerance to Cd stress. Multiple biochemical and physiological analyses in yeast and plants demonstrated that CPK21/23 phosphorylate NRAMP6 primarily at Ser489 and Thr505 to inhibit the Cd transport activity of NRAMP6, thereby improving the Cd tolerance of plants. Taken together, we found a plasma membrane-associated calcium signaling that modulates Cd tolerance. These results provide new insights into the molecular breeding of crop tolerance to Cd stress.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 859:160389.

Abstract
Duckweed is a newly reported Cd hyperaccumulator that grow rapidly; however, little is known about its tolerance and detoxification mechanisms. In this study, we investigated the tissue, subcellular, and chemical form distribution of the Cd in duckweed and studied the influences of Cd on duckweed growth, ultrastructure, and rhizosphere microbial community. The results showed that Cd could negatively affect the growth of duckweed and shorten the root length. More Cd accumulated in the roots than in the leaves, and Cd was transferred from the roots to the leaves with time. During 12-24 h, Cd mainly existed in the cell wall fraction (2.05 %-95.52 %) and the organelle fraction (5.03 %-97.80 %), followed the soluble fraction (0.14 %-16.98 %). Over time, the proportion of Cd in the organelles increased (46.64 %-92.83 %), exceeding that in the cell wall (6.79 %-66.23 %), which indicated that duckweed detoxification mechanism may be related to the retention of cell wall and vacuole. The main chemical form of Cd was the NaCl-extracted state (30.15 %-88.66 %), which was integrated with pectate and protein. With increasing stress concentration and time, the proportion of the HCl-extracted state and HAc-extracted state increased, and they were low-toxic Cd oxalate and Cd phosphate, respectively. Cd damaged the ultrastructure of cells such as chloroplasts and mitochondria and inhibited the diversity of microbial communities in the duckweed rhizosphere; however, the dominant populations that could tolerate heavy metals increased. It was speculated that duckweed distributed Cd in a less toxic chemical form in a less active location, mainly through retention in the root cell wall and sequestration in the leaf vacuoles, and is dynamically adjusted. The rhizosphere microbial communities tolerate heavy metals may also be one of the mechanisms by which duckweed can tolerate Cd. This study revealed the mechanism of duckweed tolerance and detoxification of Cd at the molecular level and provides a theoretical basis for further development of duckweed.

Abstract
Antimony (Sb) and arsenic (As) are chemical analogs, but their behaviors in plants are different. To investigate the Sb uptake, translocation and speciation in As-hyperaccumulator P. cretica, a hydroponic experiment was conducted. In this study, P. cretica was exposed to 0.2-strength Hoagland nutrient solution, which contained 0.5 or 5 mg/L antimonite (SbIII) or antimonate (SbV). After 14 d exposure, P. cretica took up 1.4-2.8 times more SbIII than SbV. Since P. cretica was unable to translocate Sb, its roots accumulated >97% Sb with the highest at 7965 mg/kg. In both SbIII and SbV treatments, SbIII was the predominant species in P. cretica, with 90-100% and 46-100% SbIII in the roots. As the first barrier against Sb to enter plant cells, more Sb was accumulated in cell wall than cytosol or organelles. The results suggest that P. cretica may detoxify Sb by reducing SbV to SbIII and immobilizing it in root cell walls. Besides, the presence of SbIII significantly reduced the concentrations of dissolved organic C including organic acids in P. cretica root exudates. Further, increasing Sb levels promoted P accumulation in the plant, especially in the fronds, which may help P. cretica growth. The information from this study shed light on metabolic transformation of Sb in As-hyperaccumulators P. cretica, which helps to better understand Sb uptake and detoxification by plants.

Abstract
In this study, the combined forms of Pb in Cladophora rupestris (L.) (C. rupestris) were investigated via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), different Pb concentrations (0, 0.5, and 5.0 mg/L), and C. rupestris subcells were explored. Results showed that combined forms of Pb mainly account for Pb-polysaccharides (Pb-OH of carbohydrates) in the cell wall, Pb-protein (Pb-N= and (C-N-)2Pb) in the organelle, and Pb-organic acid (Pb-sulfates, (CO)2-Pb and (COO)2-Pb) in the soluble fraction. Pb-S-containing group (Pb-C-S) could formed in subcelluar when C. rupestris was subjected to high Pb stress. Meanwhile, Pb2+ could penetrate the C. rupestris cells via the formed chelate between GSH/MT and -OH functional groups. Results could help understand the role of subcellular fraction in the algae remediation and detoxification to heavy metal.

Abstract
Artemisia selengensis is a perennial herb of the Compositae with therapeutic and economic value in China. The cadmium (Cd) accumulation mechanism and healthy risk evaluation of A. selengensis were investigated in this study. Tissue culture seedlings were obtained by plant tissue culture in vitro, and the effect of Cd stress (Cd concentration of 0.5, 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 μM) on A. selengensis was studied under hydroponic conditions. The results showed that low-Cd (0.5–1 μM) stress caused a rare effect on the growth of A. selengensis seedlings, which regularly grew below the 10 μM Cd treatment concentration. The biomass growth rate of the 0.5, 1, and 5 μM treatment groups reached 105.8%, 96.6%, and 84.8% after 40 days of cultivation, respectively. In addition, when the concentration of Cd was greater than 10 μM, the plant growth was obviously inhibited, i.e., chlorosis of leaves, blackening roots, destroyed cell ultrastructure, and increased malondialdehyde (MDA) content. The root could be the main location of metal uptake, 57.8–70.8% of the Cd was concentrated in the root after 40 days of cultivation. Furthermore, the root cell wall was involved in the fixation of 49–71% Cd by subcellular extraction, and the involvement of the participating functional groups of the cell wall, such as -COOH, -OH, and -NH2, in metal uptake was assessed by FTIR analysis. Target hazard quotient (THQ) was used to assess the health risk of A. selengensis, and it was found that the edible part had no health risk only under low-Cd stress (0.5 to 1 μM) and short-term treatment (less than 20 days).

We have investigated the interaction of the actinide Cm(III) and its lanthanide homologue Eu(III) with cells of Brassica napus in suspension. This study combines biochemical techniques (plant cell response) with spectroscopic experiments to determine the chemical speciation of hazardous metals in contact with the plant cells. Experiments conducted over a period of 7 d showed that B. napus cells were able to bioassociate both potentially toxic metals in significant amounts up to 0.58 µmol Eu/gfresh cells and 1.82 µmol Cm/gfresh cells at 30 µM Eu(III) and 0.68 µM Cm(III), respectively. For Cm(III), a biosorption process could be identified as soon as 5 h post-exposure with 73 ± 4% of the Cm(III) bioassociated. Luminescence spectroscopy results based on UV and site-selective excitation confirmed the existence of three Cm(III)/Eu(III) [M(III)] species in both the supernatants and cells. The findings detailed herein support that M(III) coordinates to two kinds of carboxyl groups and phosphate groups.

PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2021; 248:119190. [PMID: 33248890 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2020.119190] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2020] [Revised: 10/29/2020] [Accepted: 10/30/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
This study aims to analyze the combined form, detoxification, and adsorption mechanism of Pb in Cladophora rupestris subcells. The chemical form analysis at different concentrations (0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, and 10 mg/L) indicated that most of the Pb (37%-76%) were integrated with oxalate and undissolved phosphate, which were important to the detoxification of C. rupestris. The characterization of Pb (0, 0.5, and 5.0 mg/L) at the subcellular was conducted via Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix spectroscopy (3D-EEM), and protein secondary structure fitting. Results revealed that Pb-polysaccharides ((C6H5)-OO-Pb-OH, C-O-Pb, and symmetric Pb-O-Pb), Pb-functional-groups ((C6H5)-COO-Pb and (C6H5)-P = O-Pb), and Pb-protein complexes (OH-C7H6-CN-Pb-COOH, C9H10-NH-CN-C = O-Pb, Pb-S-C, and Pb-S) were formed. The cell wall produced transport proteins, such as metallothionein and glutathione, which bound and helped Pb2+ enter the cell. After entering the soluble fraction, the Pb-organic acid ((C6H5)-COO-Pb, (C6H5)-O-Pb, and (C6H5)-P = O-Pb) and Pb-sulfhydryl compound (Pb-S-C/Pb-S) assumed the most important role in resisting the toxicity of Pb2+. Pb2+ was absorbed in the organelle and formed (C6H5)-C-O-Pb and (C6H5)-P = O-Pb, and complexed with protein (Pb-C-N) when treated with 5.0 mg/L Pb. Results could help understand the role of subcellular fraction in the algal adaptation to stressful heavy metal conditions.

Influence of Cd toxicity on subcellular distribution, chemical forms, and physiological responses of cell wall components towards short-term Cd stress in Solanum nigrum. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 28:13955-13969.

Abstract
Solanum nigrum is a well-documented cadmium (Cd) hyperaccumulator; however, its Cd-induced tolerance capability and detoxification mechanism remain elusive. Hence, a short-term hydroponic experiment was performed in a multiplane glasshouse to determine the influence of Cd toxicity on subcellular distribution, chemical forms, and the physiological responses of cell wall towards Cd stress in a 4-week-old plant. The experiment was conducted following completely randomized design (CRD) with five treatments (n = 4 replicates). The results showed that Cd stress showed dose-dependent response towards growth inhibition. The subcellular distribution of Cd in S. nigrum was in the order of cell wall > soluble fractions > organelles, and Cd was predominantly extracted by 1 M NaCl (29.87~43.66%). The Cd contents in different plant tissues and cell wall components including pectin, hemicellulose 1 (HC1), hemicellulose 2 (HC2), and cellulose were increased with the increase in Cd concentrations; however, the percentage of Cd concentration decreased in pectin and cellulose. Results of the polysaccharide components such as uronic acid, total sugar contents, and pectin methylesterase (PME) activity showed Cd-induced dose-dependent increase relative to exposure Cd stress. The pectin methylesterase (PME) activity was significantly (p < 0.05) enhanced by 125.78% at 75 μM Cd in root, 105.78% and 73.63% at 100 μM Cd in stem and leaf, respectively. In addition, the esterification, amidation, and pectinase treatment of cell wall and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) assay exhibited many functional groups that were involved in cell wall retention Cd, especially on carboxyl and hydroxyl groups of cell wall components that indicated that the -OH and -COOH groups of S. nigrum cell wall play a crucial role in Cd fixation. In summary, results of the current study will add a novel insight to understand mobilization/immobilization as well as detoxification mechanism of cadmium in S. nigrum.

Abstract
Experiments conducted over a period of 6 weeks using Brassica napus callus cells grown in vitro under Eu(III) or U(VI) stress showed that B. napus cells were able to bioassociate both potentially toxic metals (PTM), 628 nmol Eu/gfresh cells and 995 nmol U/gfresh cells. Most of the Eu(III) and U(VI) was found to be enriched in the cell wall fraction. Under high metal stress (200 μM), cells responded with reduced cell viability and growth. Subsequent speciation analyses using both metals as luminescence probes confirmed that B. napus callus cells provided multiple-binding environments for Eu(III) and U(VI). Moreover, two different inner-sphere Eu3+ species could be distinguished. For U(VI), a dominant binding by organic and/or inorganic phosphate groups of the plant biomass can be concluded.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd), a toxic heavy metal, restrains the growth and development of plants and threatens global food safety. Many studies on the alleviation of heavy metal toxicity by exogenous phytohormones have emerged, but reports on tea (Camellia sinensis) are still scarce. In this study, the effects of indole acetic acid (IAA) (2 μM and 10 μM) on Cd uptake and on the physiological and biochemical characteristics of the 'Xiangfeicui' tea cultivar were investigated for the first time. The order of Cd accumulation in tea seedlings was root > stem > mature leaf > tender leaf. Under Cd stress (30 mg kg-1), photosynthetic pigment levels, antioxidant enzyme activity, root vigor, root IAA content, and the levels of most metabolites (including caffeine, soluble sugar, total amino acids, some amino acid components, and most catechins) were significantly reduced, while levels of malondialdehyde, proline, epicatechin, and some amino acids increased. We therefore propose that by reducing Cd accumulation, exogenous IAA can lessen the adverse effects of Cd on the physiology and biochemistry of tea seedlings, promoting the growth of healthier tea plants.

Abstract
Salt-tolerant rice cultivar (sea rice) is a research hotspot worldwide due to its high yield in high salinity soil. However, knowledge regarding the cadmium (Cd) effects on the growth of sea rice is limited. To determine the short-term and long-term impact of Cd stress, relatively low/high Cd-accumulative rice cultivars and sea rice were grown to compare their growth responses to Cd stress over time. The results showed that sea rice presented the highest Cd concentrations in the root, stem, and leaves under 32-days of Cd stress. Cd stress shortened and thickened the rice root, and decreased the proportion of root diameters in the 0-0.2 mm range. Cd stress remarkably increased the Cd and Fe concentration in dithionite-citrate-bicarbonate (DCB) extracts, and the DCB-Cd and DCB-Fe concentrations were the highest in sea rice. The subcellular distribution of Cd in the rice roots indicated that Cd accumulated the most in the soluble fraction and cell wall. The contents of pectin and hemicellulose 2 in the root cell wall of the low-Cd accumulative rice variety CL755 were higher than those in MXZ and sea rice. Collectively, this work provides a general understanding of the Cd effects on sea rice growth and indicates that sea rice has a relatively high Cd accumulation compared with the other two rice cultivars. However, the specifically-related mechanism remains to be further studied.

Abstract
In this study, a poly(acrylonitrile-co-N-vinyl pyrrolidone)/zeolite (poly(AN-co-VP)/zeolite) composite was synthesized by in situ free radical polymerization (FRP). The structural properties of the composite were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The characterization results indicated that the composite had a homogeneous and 3-dimensional (3D) structure. The decomposition temperature and glass transition temperature (Tg) were found as 410°C and 152°C, respectively. A poly(AN-co-VP)/zeolite composite was used to investigate the adsorption of brilliant green (BG) which is a water-soluble cationic dye. The kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics of adsorption were examined, and results showed that equilibrium data fitted the Langmuir isotherm model, and the adsorption kinetics of BG followed pseudo-second-order model. According to the thermodynamic properties, the adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous. Response surface methodology (RSM), which was improved by the application of the quadratic model associated with the central composite design, was employed for the optimization of the study conditions such as adsorbent mass, time, and initial dye concentration. The RSM indicated that maximum BG removal (99.91%) was achieved at the adsorbent mass of 0.20 g/50 mL, an initial BG concentration of 40.20 mg/L, and a contact time of 121.60 minutes.

Abstract
This study determined the subcellular distribution, chemical forms, and effects of metal homeostasis of excess Cd in Cladophora rupestris. Biosorption data were analyzed with Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models and kinetic equations. Results showed that C. rupestris can accumulate Cd. Cd mainly localized in the cell wall and debris (42.8-68.2%) of C. rupestris, followed by the soluble fraction (22.1-38.4%) observed in C. rupestris. A large quantity of Cd ions existed as insoluble CdHPO4 complexed with organic acids, Cd(H2PO4)2, Cd-phosphate complexes (FHAC) (43.2-56.0%), and pectate and protein-integrated Cd (FNaCl) (30.8-43.2%). The adsorption data were well fitted by the Freundlich model (R2 = 0.933) and could be described by the pseudo-second-order reaction rate (R2 = 0.997) and Elovich (R2 = 0.972) equations. Related parameters indicated that Cd adsorption by C. rupestris is a heterogeneous diffusion. Cd promoted Ca and Zn uptake by C. rupestris. Cu, Fe, Mn, and Mg adsorption was promoted by low Cd concentrations and inhibited by high Cd concentrations. Results suggested that cell wall sequestration, vacuolar compartmentalization, and chemical morphological transformation are important mechanisms of Cd stress tolerance by C. rupestris. This study suggests that C. rupestris has bioremediation potential of Cd.
