Abstract:
A hydroponic experiment combined with synchronous radiation X-ray fluorescence (SRXRF) analysis was designed to understand the influence of humic acid (HA) in tea plants under lead stress. The results showed that the quantitative relationship (QR) between humic acid and Pb is an important factor affecting the regulation of humic acid with respect to the accumulation of Pb in tea plants. Besides, excess humic acid might stimulate the accumulation of Pb in the root cell wall and transfer to the shoot organs through undifferentiated casparian band structure. This study could provide a theoretical basis for the scientific evaluation of the effect of humic acid on tea uptake and the accumulation of Pb and the practical application of humic acid in reducing Pb pollution in the field.
