Abstract

Mining, urban or industrial solid, gas and liquid wastes, pesticide and artificial fertilizer use, paint industry and car exhaust gases cause the release of heavy metals to the nature. This heavy metal stress caused by environmental pollutants limits the growth of plants and reduces product yield and quality. At the same time, heavy metal stress interferes uptake, transport, and utilization of plant nutrients by plants. Consequently, this study was performed to evaluate toxicity and tolerance of lead, cadmium and chromium in switchgrass that can adapt to a wide range of habitats and climates. In order to determine the effects of heavy metals on the nutrient uptake, the switchgrass plant (Panicum virgatum L.) was grown in artificially contaminated soil with different concentrations of Cd, Pb, Cr solutions. The changes in macro- and micro-nutrient contents in the switchgrass as affected by the different concentrations of the applied metals were evaluated. Although chromium, cadmium and lead have phytotoxic effect and are non-essential elements for plants, it was observed that these elements easily absorbed and accumulated in the aboveground parts of switchgrass. In general, it was found that macro- and micro-nutrient concentrations in the switchgrass were significantly or relatively decreased in different doses of Pb, Cd and Cr applications. Only Ca concentrations in the plant increased significantly with the applied different Pb doses, due to the competition of Ca2+ and Pb2+ for introduction to stem cells. However, the obtained results were interpreted using linear regression and Pearson correlation.

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) Bitkisinde Kurşun, Krom ve Kadmiyum Toksisitesinin Besin Alımı Üzerindeki Etkileri ve Lineer Regresyon Analizleri

Abstract

Madencilik, kentsel veya endüstriyel katı, gaz ve sıvı atıklar, pestisit ve suni gübre kullanımı, boya sanayi ve araba egzoz gazları ağır metallerin doğaya salınmasına neden olur. Çevresel kirleticilerin neden olduğu bu ağır metal stresi, bitkilerin büyümesini sınırlamakta, ürün verimini ve kalitesini düşürmektedir. Aynı zamanda, ağır metal stresi bitki besin maddelerinin bitkiler tarafından alınmasını, taşınmasını ve kullanılmasını engeller. Sonuç olarak, bu çalışma, geniş bir habitat ve iklim yelpazesine uyum sağlayabilen switchgrass’taki kurşun, kadmiyum ve kromun toksisitesini ve toleransını değerlendirmek için yapılmıştır. Ağır metallerin besin alımı üzerindeki etkilerini belirlemek amacıyla, Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) bitkisi farklı konsantrasyonlarda Cd, Pb, Cr çözeltileri ile suni olarak kontamine edilmiş toprakta yetiştirilmiştir. Uygulanan metallerin farklı konsantrasyonlarından etkilenen switchgrasstaki makro ve mikro besin içeriklerindeki değişiklikler değerlendirilmiştir. Krom, kadmiyum ve kurşun fitotoksik etkiye sahip ve bitkiler için esansiyel olmayan elementler olmalarına rağmen, bu elementlerin switchgrass bitkisinin toprak üstü kısımlarında kolayca emilip biriktiği gözlenmiştir. Genel olarak, switchgrass bitkisindeki makro ve mikro besin konsantrasyonlarının farklı dozlarda Pb, Cd ve Cr uygulamalarında önemli ölçüde veya nispeten azaldığı bulunmuştur. Ca2+ ve Pb2+'nın kök hücrelere giriş için rekabet etmesi nedeniyle, uygulanan farklı Pb dozları ile sadece bitkideki Ca konsantrasyonları önemli ölçüde artmıştır. Bununla birlikte elde edilen sonuçlar lineer regresyon ve Pearson korelasyonu kullanılarak yorumlanmıştır.
