This study aimed to determine the effects of different Cd concentrations (0, 1, 10, 100, and 300 µM CdCl2) on Allium plantlets. To achieve this goal, we examined the (1) dynamics of Cd2+ fux in the rhizosphere, (2) partitioning of Cd between roots and leaves, (3) formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), (4) levels of H2O2 and chlorophyll, and (5) translocation of several macro- and micronutrients. A strong net Cd2+ influx was observed in the root apex after exposure to 100 µM Cd for 24 h. Exposure to either 1 or 10 µM Cd for 96 h presented no evident influence on root growth. However, treatments with 100 to 300 µM Cd for 72 h significantly inhibited root growth. ROS levels increased in roots and leaves with increasing Cd concentrations. The... |

The effects of various cadmium (Cd) concentrations (10, 50 and 100 μM) on root growth, cell division and micronuclei formation in root tip cells of Allium cepa var. agrogarum L. were investigated to better understand the processes of Cd-induced apoptosis. The results indicated that 10 μM of Cd had an obviously passive influence on root growth during the 24 h treatment, and that the influence was even more serious with increasing Cd concentrations and duration of treatments. The mitotic index decreased with increasing Cd concentration and duration of treatments. Cadmium induced c-mitosis, chromosome bridges, chromosome stickiness and micronuclei. The frequency of cells with these disorders varied with prolonging the duration of treatments... |
