Characteristics of cadmium (Cd) uptake kinetics and distribution of Cd speciation in the rhizosphere for Cd accumulator and nonaccumulator
oilseed rape varieties were investigated under nutrient solution and rhizobox soil culture conditions. The results showed
that the maximal influx (Vmax) for Cd2+ and Km were significantly di erent for the two oilseed rape varieties. The value of Vmax for
Cd accumulator oilseed rape Zhucang Huazi was two-fold greater than that for oilseed rape Chuan you II-93. The exchangeable Cd
concentration in the rhizosphere was significantly lower than in non-rhizospheric soils supplemented with CdSO4 for both the varieties.
Carbonate-bound Cd in the rhizosphere of Cd accumulator oilseed rape was significantly higher than that in the rhizosphere of nonaccumulator
oilseed rape and non-rhizospheric soil. Cd accumulator oilseed rape had a higher Cd2+ a nity and more ability to uptake
insoluble Cd in the soil than the non-accumulator oilseed rape.
