چکیده

the present pot experiment was undertaken to investigate the phytoremediation potential of corn and oat in soil. treatments consisted of four cadmium (cd) levels (0, 5, 10 and 20 mg l 1) and three irrigation intervals (1, 3 and 7 days), arranged in the form of a complete randomized design with three replications. corn and oat were harvested after 75 and 90 days, respectively. transpiration rates, shoot dry weight and shoot cd concentration of both plants were measured. cadmium uptake, cd bioconcentration factor (bcf), the apparent recovery of cd and water use efficiency were also calculated. cadmium had negative, and in some cases stimulating effects on plant growth. furthermore, the phytoremediation capacities of both plants were higher at the 1 day irrigation frequency. the bcf values for both plants were less than unity, indicating that the phytoremediation potentials of oat and corn were low in this study. overall, oat was more efficient than corn in phytoremediation of cd as it accumulated 52, 169 and 132% more cd than corn at 1, 3 and 7 day irrigation intervals, respectively. on the average, oat also took up soil cd about 80% more than corn. from the results reported herein, it is recommended to conduct additional experiments with different cd levels and more irrigation intervals using different types of agronomic and horticultural crops.

development of different optical methods for determination of glucose using cadmium telluride quantum dots and silver nanoparticles

a simple, rapid and low-cost scanner spectroscopy method for the glucose determination by utilizing glucose oxidase and cdte/tga quantum dots as chromoionophore has been described. the detection was based on the combination of the glucose enzymatic reaction and the quenching effect of h2o2 on the cdte quantum dots (qds) photoluminescence.in this study glucose was determined by utilizing glucose...

The Potential of Corn (Zea mays) for Phytoremediation of Soil Contaminated with Cadmium and Lead

ABSRACT A study was carried out to investigate the potential of Corn (Zea mays) for phytoremediation of soil contaminated with Cadmium and Lead. Soil samplings of 0-20 cm depth were taken from the Chaharmahal Bakhtiari province in the western of Iran. Corn plantlets were planted in pots containing 3 kg of these soils. The experiment consisted of 9 treatments including soil without cadmium and L...

response of corn to cadmium and drought stress and its ‎potential use for phytoremediation

in the present study, the effects of different cadmium (cd) levels of irrigation water (0, 5, 10 and 20 mg l-1) on corn plants (foliage) under different irrigation intervals (1, 3, and 7 days) were investigated. clear cd toxicity symptoms appeared on the plants at the end of the experiment. the results showed that stem dry weight (dw) followed by transpiration (t) and plant height were the meas...
