| Abstract: |
| Rapes(Brassica campestris L.) in hydroponic gardens were tested to investigate the influence of benzotriazole(BTR) on the toxic effect of cadmium(Cd). The changes in growth status, antioxidant enzyme expression, and metallothionein(MT) content of rapes were systematically studied for the first time, and the joint toxicity mechanism was also discussed. The results showed that the growth of rapes could be promoted by Cd at a concentration of 0.1 μmol·L-1, while it could be inhibited at 0.5 μmol·L-1 or higher; the dose-effect relationship was significant(R2=0.779).The expression of the superoxide dismutase(SOD) enzyme in rapes could be significantly induced at a BTR exposure of 1 μmol·L-1, although there was no effect on the growth of the rapes. The morphology of Cd could be changed and bioaccumulation could be reduced by the combined presence of BTR and Cd, leading to differences in growth status and antioxidant enzyme expression, and MT expressions in rapes. The degree of reduction was related to the exposure sequences of Cd and BTR. When BTR was pre-added in rapes, it could promote the accumulation of Cd in stems. |
