摘要
The effects of cadmium and lead were investigated in Cynara cardunculus L. Plant uptake by root and shoot, changes in cell ultrastructure and photosynthetic efficiency, photosynthetic key protein levels, as well as regulation of stress-induced Hsp70 were examined. Cynara cardunculus accumulated Cd and Pb in their tissue, with a different trend for the two metals. The prompt translocation of Cd to the shoot may justify the ultrastructural injuries, especially observed in chloroplasts. However, Cd-treated plants did not show any decline in photochemistry; it is likely that Cd in shoot tissue triggers defense mechanisms, increasing the level of proteins involved in photosynthesis (i.e., Rubisco and M. increased 7 and 4.5 fold respectively) as a compensatory response to neutralize chloroplast damage. The accumulation of Pb mainly in root, can explain the increase in Hsp70 level (23 folds) in this tissue. Pb reached the shoots, even at low amounts, causing an overall significant change in some photochemical parameters (QY and NPQ decreases and increases of 25%, respectively). The results suggest a higher sensitivity of C. cardunculus to Pb than Cd, although maximal photochemical efficiency suggests that this species seems to tolerate Pb and Cd and hence, it is a suitable candidate for phytoremediation.
