ABSTRACT
Salix matsudana Koidz was exposed to different concentrations of Cd (0, 10, 50, and 100 μmol/L)
to study the effects of Cd on mineral metabolism and antioxidant enzyme activities. The results showed
that plant height and root length were inhibited by 50 and 100 μmol/L Cd, except the one under 10 μmol/L
Cd treatment. The Cd content accumulated in different organs of S. matsudana, gradually increasing with
increased Cd concentrations and prolonged treatment times. The root was the main organ for absorbing
and accumulating Cd. Cd inhibited the accumulation of Fe, Zn, Mn, and Cu. In addition, the activities
of antioxidant enzymes and the contents of reactive oxygen species were also changed by different
concentrations of Cd. The results obtained here can provide scientific and objective data for the use
of S. matsudana in the remediation of Cd-contaminated soil.
