The effect of excessive Cd on the growth and metal uptake by leafy vegetablesBrassica chinensisL. (cv. Wuyueman) andBrassica pekinensis(Lour.) Rupr. (cv. Qingyan 87-114) were studied in hydroponic solution culture. The Cd concentration higher than 10 µM significantly decreased the root elongation and leaf chlorophyll contents of both plant species. The shoots ofB. pekinensishad significantly higher concentrations of total and water-soluble Cd thanB. chinensis. The roots of both species accumulated more Cd than the shoots in all the Cd treatments. Most of the Cd in the roots was found in the cell walls. The shoot/root ratio of Cd concentrations inB. pekinensiswas always greater than that inB. chinensis. But, the concentration and proportion of Cd in the cell walls inB. chinensiswere higher than that inB. pekinensis. Cadmium treatments also increased the concentrations of total non-protein thiols (NPT) in the shoots of the both species. A significant correlation was found between the concentrations of soluble Cd and NPT in plant shoots.
