Abstract:
      Cadmium flux in plants varies among different genotypes. A study was conducted to measure the Cd2+ flux rate(CFR) in different root regions as well as vascular bundle tissues of roots and stems of four rice(Oryza Sativa) genotypes using a Non-invasive Micro-test Technique(NMT). The CFR in rice roots had significant differences among different root regions and genotypes. It was obviously greater in the elongation region of root than in the root cap, root hair region and root hairs. Although the maximum CFR was over 2 time greater in vascular bundle tissue of root elongation region than in the epidermal cells of root, its variation among genotypes was not significant. However, the CFR in the vascular bundle tissues of stem showed a significant genotypic variation. The CFR in each part of the variety “T-you 705” was apparently higher and more stable than that in other genotypes, resulting in significantly higher Cd accumulations in roots and shoots of “T-you 705”. Therefore, the CFR in the vascular bundle tissues of roots and stems could be used as an accurate indicator of Cd transport and accumulation potential in rice varieties.
