The Effect of Cadmium on Low Moleculer Weight Organic Acids Exudation of Triticum aestivum L.

Article Preview

Abstract:

The influence of Cadmium(Cd) on exudation of low molecular weight organic acids (LMWOAs) were investigated based on the hydroponic culture experiment. Tartaric, citric, malic, and acetic acids were chosen as representatives of LMWOAs commonly present in roots exudation. We investigated the Cadmium accumulation in Triticum aestivum L.. The results showed that under the different levels of Cd, the exudation of four organic acids by roots had the different change trend. The concentrations of four organic acids in roots exudation were in the same following sequence tartaric>citric>malic>acetic. And the content of Cd in plants increased with increasing Cd concentrations. We found that at first some LMWOAs increased at low Cd treatments, we guessed that it was a normal reaction to the Cd treatment.
