Glutamate alleviates cadmium toxicity in rice via suppressing cadmium uptake and translocation.
Cadmium (Cd), a naturally occurring heavy metal, is toxic to animals and plants. Minimization of Cd in rice grain is important to human health since rice is the main source of Cd intake for human populations feeding on it as staple food. Glutamate (Glu) is reportedly involved in plant abiotic stress responses, whereas the underlying molecular mechanism remains poorly understood. In this study, we showed that supplement of Glu, but not glutamine, significantly alleviated Cd toxicity in hydroponically grown rice plants. Cd accumulation was reduced by 44.1% and 65.6% in root and shoot of rice plants respectively, after Glu supplementation (3 mM). Glu supplement restored chlorophyll biosynthesis and significantly ameliorated Cd-induced oxidative stress with reduced levels of H Topics: Amino Acids; Antioxidants; Biomass; Cadmium; Cadmium Poisoning; Carrier Proteins; Chlorophyll; Glutamic Acid; Glutamine; Hydroponics; Oryza; Oxidative Stress; Plant Diseases; Plant Leaves; Plant Roots; Seedlings; Seeds; Soil Pollutants | 2020 |
Toxic effects of cadmium on tall fescue and different responses of the photosynthetic activities in the photosystem electron donor and acceptor sides.
Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb) is a turf grass species which is widely used for rhizoremediation of organic contaminants and shows notable prospects in heavy metal phytoremediation. In this study, different concentrations of cadmium ion (Cd Topics: Biodegradation, Environmental; Cadmium; Cadmium Poisoning; Chlorophyll; Electrons; Festuca; Metals, Heavy; Photosynthesis; Photosystem I Protein Complex; Photosystem II Protein Complex; Plant Leaves; Plant Roots; Plants; Poaceae; Reactive Oxygen Species | 2017 |
