Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi have been known to increase metal uptake in plants. In this study, mesquite (Prosopis juliflora-velutina) inoculated with Glomus deserticola or amended with EDTA were grown for 30 days in soil containing Cr(III) or Cr(VI) at 0, 40, 80, and 160 mg kg(-1). Total amylase activity (TAA) was monitored as a stress indicator. Element concentrations and distribution in tissue were determined using ICP-OES, electron scanning microprobe, and TEM. Inoculated Cr(VI) treated plants had 21% and 30% more Cr than uninoculated and EDTA treated roots, respectively, at 80 mg Cr kg(-1) treatment. In the case of Cr(III), EDTA produced the highest Cr accumulation in roots. TAA was higher in inoculated plants grown with Cr(III) at 80 and 160 mg kg(-1) and Cr(VI) at 40 and 160 mg kg(-1). The X-ray mapping showed higher metal concentrations in the vascular system of inoculated plants and the TEM micrographs demonstrated the presence of G. deserticola in roots.
丛枝菌根真菌已被证实可以增加植物对金属的吸收。在这项研究中,接种了 Glomus deserticola 的 木麻黄(Prosopis juliflora-velutina)或用 EDTA 处理的木麻黄在含有 Cr(III)或 Cr(VI)的土壤中生长 30 天,浓度分别为 0、40、80 和 160mgkg(-1)。总淀粉酶活性(TAA)被监测为应激指标。使用 ICP-OES、电子扫描探针和 TEM 确定组织中的元素浓度和分布。在 80mgCrkg(-1)处理下,接种 Cr(VI)处理的植物的 Cr 含量比未接种和 EDTA 处理的根分别多 21%和 30%。对于 Cr(III),EDTA 在根中产生了最高的 Cr 积累。在 80 和 160mgkg(-1)的 Cr(III)和 40 和 160mgkg(-1)的 Cr(VI)下,接种植物的 TAA 更高。X 射线映射显示接种植物的维管束系统中金属浓度更高,TEM 显微照片显示根中有 G. deserticola 的存在。
