A pot experiment was conducted to study the effects of reciprocal hybridization on cadmium (Cd) accumulation in F1 hybrid of Solanum diphyllum and Solanum nigrum by Cd treatment (the final soil Cd concentration was 10 mg/kg). The results showed that the Cd content of F1 hybrid was between the parents. In stems, leaves and shoots, the Cd content of DN (S. diphyllum male × S. nigrum female) and ND (S. nigrum male × S. diphyllum female) F1 hybrid increased by 14.09% and 17.34%, 8.08% and 11.14%, 9.5% and 12.04% respectively compared with S. nigrum, and decreased by 13.34% and 10.87%, 6.52% and 3.88%, 7.44% and 5.0% respectively compared with S. diphyllum, with no significant difference in roots. Therefore, the accumulation ability of Cd in F1 hybrids was improved to a certain extent compared to S. nigrum, but decreased to a certain extent compared to S. diphyllum.

Heavy metal pollution in farmland threatens human life. It is not clear whether crops can adsorb heavy metals. In this study, the cadmium accumulation and tolerance in Chinese cabbage Brassica pekinensis (cv. Xiaoza-56) and the known Cd-accumulator Brassica juncea in hydroponics and pot experiment were investigated. Furthermore, we evaluated their potential on the phytoextraction of Cd-contaminated soil. The hydroponics with 1–50 μM Cd concentrations showed that both B. juncea and B. pekinensis had high Cd accumulation and tolerance with translocation factor closed to 1 at Cd levels < 25 μM. The pot study conducted with 5 to 100 mg Cd kg−1 soil indicated that B. juncea showed less tolerance and accumulation to Cd than B. pekinensis, especially at higher Cd levels. The bioconcentration factor was much higher than 1 in both B. juncea and B. pekinensis grown in <40 mg Cd kg−1 soil without showing biomass reduction. In the model evaluation, the ability of B. juncea and B. pekinensis to reduce the initial soil Cd concentration of 20 and 5 mg kg−1 to specific targets with a lower or higher biomass of 4 or 20 t ha−1, respectively. The above results indicate that B. juncea and B. pekinensis (cv. Xiaoza-56), which the latter is a better candidate for Cd phytoextraction in moderated Cd-contaminated soil. The results provide a reference for Cd pollution control.

Solanum nigrum L., a hyperaccumulator of cadmium (Cd), is regarded as a promising candidate for phytoremediation of heavy metal pollution. In the present study, the hairy roots of Solanum nigrum L. were selected as a model plant system to study the potential application of Iron-regulated Transporter Gene (IRT1) for the efficient phytoremediation of Cd pollution. The transgenic hairy roots of Solanum nigrum L. expressing the IRT1 gene from Arabidopsis thaliana were successfully obtained via the Agrobacterium tumegaciens-mediated method. Expression of IRT1 reduced Cd stress-induced phytotoxic effects. Significantly superior root growth, increased antioxidant enzyme activities, decreased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and less cell apoptosis were observed in the transgenic hairy roots of Solanum nigrum L. compared to the wild-type lines under Cd stress. Enhanced Cd accumulation was also carried out in the transgenic hairy roots compared to the control (886.8 μg/g vs. 745.0 μg/g). These results provide an important understanding of the Cd tolerance mechanism of transgenic IRT1 hairy roots of Solanum nigrum L., and are of particular importance to the development of a transgenic candidate for efficient phytoremediation process.

Abstract The application of fertilizer can improve the Cd enrichment efficiency of plants, but the changes of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) in the growth medium have different impacts on Cd enrichment efficiency of plants. In this study, hydroponic experiment by adding different KNO3 and (NH4)3PO4 was carried out to study whether and how the addition of available N, P and K can improve Cd accumulation. The four treatments were CK, 0.4 mg kg-1 Cd (Cd), 0.4 mg kg-1 Cd and KNO3 (COK), 0.4 mg kg-1 Cd and (NH4)3PO4 (CNP). The results showed that the chlorophyll contents, PSII maximum photochemical quantum efficiency (Fv/Fm) and PSII potential activity (Fv/Fo) of COK and CNP were higher than that of CD. There was no significant difference between CK and CNP (P > 0.05). The N, P and K contents and Cd concentrations of roots and stems of COK and CNP were significantly higher than those of CD(P<0.05).The BCF of COK and CNP were also significantly higher than that of CD, increasing by 39.8% and 37.6%, respectively. The root, stem and leaf dry weight of COK and the root and stem dry weight of CNP were higher than that of CD, and the biomass of the whole basin was significantly higher than that of CD (P<0.05), but with no significant difference from that of CK (P>0.05). In addition to stem K accumulation of CNP, N, P and K allocated to root and stem in COK and CNP were significantly higher than that in CD (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in pH and water soluble Cd content among CD, COK and CNP (P>0.05). it was concluded that plants can improve their Cd accumulation ability by changing biomass and nutrient allocation. The conclusion provides a theoretical basis for improving soil environmental factors by improving fertilization strategies of related plants so as to improve Cd enrichment ability.

To study the cadmium accumulation characteristics of Solanum nigrum with different ploidies, the biomass, cadmium content and cadmium accumulation of diploid (Solanum photeinocarpum), tetraploid (Solanum photeinocarpum) and hexaploid (Solanum nigrum) were measured by a pot experiment. The results showed that the biomass of roots, stems, leaves and shoots of S. nigrum plants with different ploidy all ranked as follows: hexaploid > tetraploid > diploid. Cadmium content and cadmium accumulation in stems, leaves and shoots of hexaploid plants were significantly higher than those in tetraploid and diploid plants, and the cadmium translocation factor and translocation accumulation factor of hexaploid were the largest, too. Therefore, hexaploid S. nigrum had a highest ability to extract and transport cadmium, which can be used as an ideal plant for remediation of cadmium-contaminated soil.

To study the effects of hyper-accumulator plant straw on the biomass and cadmium (Cd) accumulation of lettuce (Lactuca sativa), the pot experiments were conducted to study the effects of straw application of three hyper-accumulator plants (Solanum nigrum, Bidens pilosa and Galinsoga parviflora) on the biomass and Cd accumulation of lettuce under Cd stress. The results show that: compared with no straw application, the biomass of lettuce was increased after applying three kinds of hyper-accumulator plant straw: S. nigrum, B. pilosa and G. parviflora, Cd content in the above ground part of lettuce was increased by 4.46%, 1.20% and 0.63% respectively, compared with that of non-application, and Cd content in the root of lettuce was decreased. The application of three kinds of hyperaccumulator plant straw promoted the growth of lettuce and increased Cd uptake by lettuce of aerial part.

The joint effects of Cd and Chlorimuron-ethyl(CE) on Cd accumulation in wheat shoot/root and SPT coefficient of Cd was carried out. Cd concentration in shoot and root increased with increasing soil Cd, but Cd concentration in shoot/root was lower than the same treatment when CE was added, and negative relationship between Cd concentration in shoot (root) and concentration of CE were significant (p<0.05 or p<0.01). There was antagonistic effect of Cd and low CE on Cd accumulation in wheat tissues. Cd concentration in shoot decreased during the period of growth, but the concentration of Cd in root increased from the elongation stage to the florescence, and then decreased from the florescence to mature stage when the concentration of soil Cd was less than 100 mg kg-1, and it decreased when the concentration of soil Cd was 100 mg kg-1. The SPT values of different growth periods decreased during the period of growth.

AbstractGenome complexity such as heterozygosity may heavily influence its de novo assembly. Sequencing somatic cells of the F1 hybrids harboring two sets of genetic materials from both of the paternal and maternal species may avoid alleles discrimination during assembly. However, the feasibility of this strategy needs further assessments. We sequenced and assembled the genome of an F1 hybrid between Silurus asotus and S. meridionalis using the SequelII platform and Hi-C scaffolding technologies. More than 300 Gb raw data were generated, and the final assembly obtained 2344 scaffolds composed of 3017 contigs. The N50 length of scaffolds and contigs was 28.55 Mb and 7.49 Mb, respectively. Based on the mapping results of short reads generated for the paternal and maternal species, each of the 29 chromosomes originating from S. asotus and S. meridionalis was recognized. We recovered nearly 94% and 96% of the total length of S. asotus and S. meridionalis. BUSCO assessments and mapping analyses suggested that both genomes had high completeness and accuracy. Further analyses demonstrated the high collinearity between S. asotus, S. meridionalis, and the related Pelteobagrus fulvidraco. Comparison of the two genomes with that assembled only using the short reads from non-hybrid parental species detected a small portion of sequences that may be incorrectly assigned to the different species. We supposed that at least part of these situations may have resulted from mitotic recombination. The strategy of sequencing the F1 hybrid genome can recover the vast majority of the parental genomes and may improve the assembly of complex genomes.

AbstractThe releasing of transgenic soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) into farming systems raises concerns that transgenes might escape from the soybeans via pollen into their endemic wild relatives, the wild soybean (Glycine soja Sieb. et Zucc.). The fitness of F1 hybrids obtained from 10 wild soybean populations collected from China and transgenic glyphosate-resistant soybean was measured without weed competition, as well as one JLBC-1 F1 hybrid under weed competition. All crossed seeds emerged at a lower rate from 13.33–63.33%. Compared with those of their wild progenitors, most F1 hybrids were shorter, smaller, and with decreased aboveground dry biomass, pod number, and 100-seed weight. All F1 hybrids had lower pollen viability and filled seeds per plant. Finally, the composite fitness of nine F1 hybrids was significantly lower. One exceptional F1 hybrid was IMBT F1, in which the composite fitness was 1.28, which was similar to that of its wild progenitor due to the similarities in pod number, increased aboveground dry biomass, and 100-seed weight. Under weed competition, plant height, aboveground dry biomass, pod number per plant, filled seed number per plant, and 100-seed weight of JLBC-1 F1 were lower than those of the wild progenitor JLBC-1. JLBC-1 F1 hybrids produced 60 filled seeds per plant. Therefore, F1 hybrids could emerge and produce offspring. Thus, effective measures should be taken to prevent gene flow from transgenic soybean to wild soybean to avoid the production F1 hybrids when releasing transgenic soybean in fields in the future.
