Study on Characteristics of 125I Absorption and Accumulation in Eggplants

Iodine fortification of plants is a means improving the nutritional iodine status for humans. However, knowledge regarding absorption and accumulation in remains limited. Hence, we used nutrient culture isotope tracking methods, radioactivity 125I was measured by using multi-channel spectrometer to study characteristics an eggplant. The results showed that detected stems leaves after 20 min incubation iodine-containing solution, while it took 40 be fruits, indicating relatively slow migration from roots fruits. various organs eggplant significantly differed, with accounting more than 80% whole plant (120 h), higher above-ground parts. rate all parts rapidly increased within short period treatment, peaking at 12 h 3 transferring stems, leaves, this indicate transferability over-ground high, fruits have potential continuously accumulate 125I. It feasible select as iodine-rich crop cultivation.
