Absorption and accumulation of Cadmium in different Chinese cabbage cultivars

摘要

Cd accumulation characteristic of 8 Chinese cabbage cultivars was evaluated to screen Chinese cabbage cultivars with low-level Cd accumulation. The results showed that significant differences (P<0.05) in Cd content, bioaccumulation factors (BFs) and translocation factors (TFs) were found among the 8 cultivars Chinese Cabbages. The levels of Cd accumulation by Beijingxin3 and Dongbao were less than 0.5 mg - kg~(-1), and their BFs and TFs were lower than 1. This indicated that these two cultivars had the low-level Cd accumulation potential and could be recommended for cultivation in areas mildly polluted with Cd. Although the level of Cd accumulation by Qiumei also was less than 0.5 mg - kg~(-1), the TF was higher than 1. So, the Qiumei cultivar could be planted in the renovation process of contaminated soils.
