Impacts of two kinds of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on rhizospheric bio-available Cd and accumulation of Cd for Pennisetum sp.
Pennisetum sp. was inoculated with two different types of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi:Funneliformis mossea(Fm)and Rhizopha-gus intraradices(Ri). And the variations of the rhizospheric bio-available Cd, biomass and plant Cd accumulation were investigated. Four treatments of soil Cd contents(T0:the control, T1:5 mg·kg-1, T2:10 mg·kg-1 and T3:15 mg·kg-1)were carried out by pot experiment. It indicated that the inoculation had significantly decreased the bio-available Cd content. Compared with the control, the ion exchangeable Cd decreased by 18.65%, 20.51%and 6.53%at soil Cd contents of 5 mg·kg-1, 10 mg·kg-1 and 15 mg·kg-1, respectively. And the acidic dis-soluble-Cd decreased correspondingly by 12.54%, 16.64%and 6.66%respectively. When treated by soil Cd contents of 10 mg·kg-1 and 15 mg·kg-1, the above-ground biomass of Pennisetum sp. increased by 20.98%, and 36.94%inoculated with Fm, and 36.54%and 43.88%in-oculated with Ri, while the below-ground biomass increased by 14.31%and 21.79%inoculated with Fm, and 25.78%and 12.83%inocu-lated with Ri, respectively. As a result, no obviously variation was observed with the translocation factor (TF), but the inoculation of AMF had significantly increased the Cd accumulation in Pennisetum sp.. The bio-concentration factor(BCF)could reach 0.77 at soil Cd content of 5 mg·kg-1 after inoculating with Ri.
