Soil amendments have been proposed for immobilizing metallic contaminants, thus reducing their uptake by plants. For the safe production of crops in contaminated soil, there is a need to select suitable amendments that can mitigate heavy metal uptake and enhance crop yield. The present experiment compared the effects of three amendments, hydroxyapatite (HAP), organic manure (OM), and biochar (BC), on plant growth and heavy metal accumulation by maize in an acidic soil contaminated with Cd, Pb, and Zn, and their potential for safe crop production. Toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) tests, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis were used to evaluate the effectiveness and mechanisms of heavy metal immobilization by the amendments. The results showed that shoot and root biomass was significantly increased by HAP and 1% OM, with an order of 1% HAP > 0.1% HAP > 1% OM, but not changed by 0.1% OM and BC (0.1% and 1%). HAP significantly decreased Cd, Pb, and Zn concentrations in both shoots and roots, and the effects were more pronounced at the higher doses. OM decreased the shoot Cd and Pb concentrations and root Zn concentrations, but only 1% OM decreased the shoot Zn and root Pb concentrations. BC decreased the shoot Cd and Pb concentrations, but decreased the shoot Zn and root Pb concentrations only at 1%. HAP decreased the translocation factors (TFs) of Cd, Pb, and Zn (except at the 0.1% dose). OM and BC decreased the TFs of Cd and Zn, respectively, at the 1% dose but showed no significant effects in other cases. Overall, plant P, K, Fe, and Cu nutrition was improved by HAP and 1% OM, but not by 0.1 OM and BC. Soil pH was significantly increased by HAP, 1% OM, and 1% BC, following an order of 1% HAP > 1% OM > 0.1% HAP > 1% BC. The TCLP levels for Cd, Pb, and Zn were significantly reduced by HAP, which can be partly attributed to its liming effects and the formation of sparingly soluble Cd-, Pb-, and Zn-P-containing minerals in the HAP-amended soils. To some extent, all the amendments positively influenced plant and soil traits, but HAP was the optimal one for stabilizing heavy metals, reducing heavy metal uptake, and promoting plant growth in the contaminated soil, suggesting its potential for safe crop production.

Hydroponic experiments were carried out to study the effects of cell division inhibitor (Maleic hydrazide MH) and protein synthesis inhibitor(Cycloheximide CHI)on Cd accumulation in Tagetes erecta L and their possible mechanisms. Seedlings were exposed to 4 mmol L-1 MH or 3 µmol L-1 CHI in 0.1 mg L-1 Cd-containing solution for 3 days. After treatment, the Cd content in leaves was significantly (P<0.05) reduced under MH or CHI treatment, which was consistent with the decreased soluble protein contents in leaves, suggesting that protein synthesis plays a role in Cd accumulation in leaves of Tagetes erecta L. Both of the plant growth inhibitors led to increased Cd contents in roots compared with the control, corresponding with increased GSH, Cys or γEC content under MH or CHI treatment, indicating that those S-containing compounds may be related to the increased Cd content in roots under the plant growth inhibitor treatments. On the other hand, the two inhibitors increased the citric acid content in all the tissues of Tagetes erecta L except for that in leaves under CHI treatment. All the results suggest that protein synthesis may be responsible for Cd accumulation in leaves of Tagetes erecta L, while the S-containing compounds and organic acids are associated with Cd absorption in roots of Tagetes erecta L.
