Effects of different nitrogen forms on cadmium accumulation of Sedum alfredii Hance

The effects of nitrogen form on plant growth and cadmium (Cd) accumulation in two ecotypes Sedum alfredii Hance were investigated using hydroponic culture. The results show that biomass (dry matter) of shoots and chlorophyll a, b content of hyperaccumulating ecotype (HE) increased markedly when plan...

description The effects of nitrogen form on plant growth and cadmium (Cd) accumulation in two ecotypes Sedum alfredii Hance were investigated using hydroponic culture. The results show that biomass (dry matter) of shoots and chlorophyll a, b content of hyperaccumulating ecotype (HE) increased markedly when plants were supplied with (NH<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>, Ca (NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub> and NH<sub>4</sub>NO<sub>3</sub>, but the increase was greater with the treatment of (NH<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> under either low (10 μmol·L<sup>-1</sup>) or high Cd (100 μmol·L<sup>-1</sup>) level. Cadmium concentrations in the shoots of both ecotypes Sedum alfredii Hance were not significantly affected by the treatments of (NH<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>, Ca (NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub> and NH<sub>4</sub>NO<sub>3</sub>, whereas the root Cd concentrations increased to a certain extent. Cadmium amount accumulated in the shoot and root of both ecotypes of Sedum alfredii Hance increased significantly when plants were supplied with different nitrogen form, as for hyperaccumulating ecotype treated with (NH<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub> SO<sub>4</sub>, cadmium accumulation increased more than those treated with Ca (NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub> and NH<sub>4</sub>NO<sub>3</sub>. Results above indicated that NH4<sup>+</sup>-N has greater ability to promote Cd accumulation in Sedum alfredii Hance than NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup>-N, and the application of (NH<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> may be useful approach to enhance the Cd accumulation in hyperaccumulating ecotype Sedum alfredii Hance for phytoremediation of the Cd-contaminated soil.
