Abstract:

Cd-sensitive wheat CM28 was used as the research object to investigate the effects of spraying exogenous glycine on its physiological and biochemical processes under different concentrations of cadmium stress.The plant height and root length,above-ground transport coefficient and enrichment coefficient of cadmium,chlorophyll content and malondialdehyde(MDA)content,and the enzyme activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD),peroxidase(POD)and catalase(CAT)of CM28 under different treatments were determined.The expression levels of PEPC genes in roots and leaves under different treatments were analyzed by qRT-PCR.The results showed that under 30 μmol/L Cd stress,the spraying of exogenous glycine led to a decrease in the above-ground dry and fresh weights,a decrease in the total-chlorophyll content,and an increase in the MDA content of CM28,indicating that plants were affected by more reactive oxygen species.Under 50 μmol/L cadmium stress,glycine could effectively alleviate the negative effects of cadmium on CM28,resulting in an increase in the total-chlorophyll content,an increase in the above-ground dry and fresh weights,and a decrease in MDA content,suggesting that the plant was affected by reactive oxygen species to a greater extent.The antioxidant enzyme activity of CM28 increased with the increase of cadmium concentration,and the spraying of exogenous glycine could enhance the activity of antioxidant enzymes and alleviate the effect of cadmium on the whole.The expression of PEPC genes in roots increased overall with the rise of cadmium concentration,indicating that PEPC played an important role in the process of plant root resistance to stress,and the spraying of exogenous glycine can also effectively alleviate the cadmium stress on CM28 and reduce the expression of PEPC genes on the whole.In summary,cadmium stress negatively affects the physiological and biochemical processes of CM28,and the spraying exogenous glycine can alleviate the effects.
