MATERIALS AND METHODSSoil samples were collected from the 0-30 cm layer of an agricultural field at Nanjing Agriculture University. Soils were air-dried, crushed to pass through a 4 mm diameter sieve, and then artificially amended to 100 mg kg'1 dry soil Cd in the form of CdCl2. The Cd-amended soils were allowed to undergo water saturation and air-drying cycles for two weeks. The air-dried soils (1 000 g) were placed in plastic pots. Basal fertilizers applied to the soils were 100 mg N kg'1 dry soil as urea, 80 mg P kg'1 and 100 mg K kg'las KHZPO4 (Shen et al. 2002). About 15 seeds of B. pekinensis (10 cultivars) and B. chinensis (10 cultivars) were sown in each pot. After germination, the seedlings were thinned to five plants per pot. The pots were watered daily to 65% of the field water capacity. Each cultivar was replicated three times. After 36 days growth under natural light, the shoots were cut, washed with tap water thoroughly, and then rinsed with de—ionized water. The samples of plants were dried at 80 C for 72 h. The dry weights of the plants were measured. The plant materials were ground in a carnelian mortar and were acid-digested with a mixture of HNO3-HCIO4 (87: 13 v/v). The concentrations of Cd in the solutions were determined by a flame atomic absorption spectrometer model TAS-986 (Purkinje General Co. Ltd., Beijing). A certified standard reference material (tomato leaves) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, USA, was used to verify the accuracy of metal analysis. Reagent blank and analytical duplicates were also used where appropriate to ensure accuracy and precision in the analysis.Seeds of B. pekirzensis (cv. Jiaobai-6, Qingyan 87-114, Xiakang-50, Xiawang) were surface~ sterilized in 0.5% NaClO and rinsed thoroughly with de-ionized water, then germinated for 3 d. Afterwards, 20 seedlings were transferred to 2 dm3 pots containing Hoagland nutrient solutions. The seedlings were grown in a green house under natural light for 30 days. The pH of nutrient solutions was adjusted to 6.0 with 1 mM I-ICl or 1 mM NaOH. Nutrient solutions were renewed every three days. The CdCl2 was added into solution at the concentration of 0 and 50 uM. Each treatment was replicated three times. The shoots were harvested 7 d after the Cd treatment. The plant materials were washed, dried at 80 C for 72 h and weighted, and then were ground in a carnelian mortar. The Cd concentrations in plants were determined with a flame atomic absorption spectrometer as previously described.
