Abstract: |
To explore the mechanism of foliar regulators in decreasing the uptake of cadmium (Cd), the effects of foliar application with malic acid, manganese, and zinc, at the anthesis stage, on cadmium accumulation in grains and other organs of rice plants were studied. The results showed that Cd concentrations in the grains, rachises, uppermost internodes, and flag leaves of rice plants decreased. The Cd concentration in grains decrensed from 0.63 mg·kg-1 to 0.47, 0.28, and 0.26 mg·kg-1 after spraying 10 mmol·L-1 MnCl2, 10 mmol·L-1 ZnCl2, and 5 mmol·L-1 malic acid, respectively, and the corresponding percentages of Cd decrease were 23.84%, 55.44%, and 58.86%. Spraying malic acid promoted the transfer of Mg and Fe from flag leaves to the uppermost internodes, and of K, Mn, and Zn from rachises to grains, but significantly inhibited the transfer of Cd from flag leaves to the uppermost internodes. Furthermore, the application of malic acid decreased the concentration of Cd in the uppermost internodes by 59.84%, and in rachises by 75.77%. Spraying Zn significantly increased the content of Ca and Fe in grains. Spraying Mn significantly promoted the transport of K from rachises to grains. These results indicate that spraying malic acid, Mn, and Zn can significantly decrease the Cd content in rice grains by promoting the influx of essential elements (i.e., K, Mn, and Zn)into them. |
