Selection of poplar species with greater Cd tolerance and exploiting the physiological mechanisms involved in Cd tolerance are crucial for application of these species to phyto-remediation. The aim of this study is to investigate variation in Cd tolerance among the six poplar species and its underlying physiological mechanisms. Cuttings of sixPopulusspecies were cultivated for 10 weeks before exposure to either 0 or 200 μM CdSO4for 20 days. Gas exchange in mature leaves was determined by a portable photosynthesis system. Cd concentrations in tissues were analyzed by a flame atomic absorbance spectrometry. Subsequently, Cd amount per plant, bio-concentration factor (BCF) and translocation factor (Tf) were calculated. Nonenzymatic compounds and activities of antioxidative enzymes in tissues were analyzed spectrophotometrically. Cd exposure caused decline in photosynthesis in four poplar species includingPopulus cathayana(zhonghua 1). Among the six species,P. cathayana(zhonghua 1) displayed the highest Cd concentrations in tissues, the largest Cd amount in aerial parts, the highest BCF in aerial parts andTfunder Cd exposure. Under Cd stress, increases in total soluble sugars in roots but decreases in starch in roots, wood, and leaves ofP. cathayana(zhonghua 1) were found. Induced O2•−and H2O2production in roots and leaves, and increases in free proline, soluble phenolics, and activities of antioxidative enzymes were observed inP. cathayana(zhonghua 1). Based on results of this pot experiment, it is concluded thatP. cathayana(zhonghua 1) is superior to other five species for Cd phyto-remediation, and its well-coordinated physiological changes under Cd exposure confer the great Cd tolerance of this species.
