[Uptake effect of Cd and Pb by rape under single Cd/Pb and Cd-Pb combined stress]

This paper investigated the effects of single Cd/Pb and Cd-Pb combined pollution of desert grey soils from the oasis regions on the uptake and translocation of Cd and Pb by rape (Brassica campestris L.), and analyzed the interaction between Cd and Pb. The results of pot experiment showed that the concentration of Cd or Pb was promoted when the concentration of Cd in soil was less than 7.0 mg x kg(-1) and the concentration of Pb in soil was less than 1 500 mg x kg(-1) in single Cd/Pb and Cd-Pb combined pollution. There was an obvious antagonism between Cd and Pb in Cd-Pb combined pollution. As the concentration of Cd in soil increased in single Cd pollution, the enrichment and translocation ability of Cd in rape was firstly improved and then reduced. As the concentration of Pb in soil increased in single Pb pollution, the enrichment and translocation ability of Pb in rape was reduced continuously. The Cd-Pb combined stress reduced the enrichment capacity of Cd and Pb as well as the migration ability of Pb, but improved the migration ability of Cd. The enrichment and translocation ability of Cd was greater than that of Pb. Models of uptake and translocation of Cd and Pb in rape under single Cd/Pb and Cd-Pb combined stress were both well fitted to quadratic equations.
