[Provoking Effects of Exogenous Zn on Cadmium Accumulation in Rice]

Pot experiments were carried out to study the influences of different concentrations of exogenous Zn on accumulation of Cd in various rice organs of low Cd accumulation cultivar Xiang-Wanxian 12 (XWX12) and high Cd accumulation cultivar Wei-You 46 (WY 46) exposed to soil with medium and serious Cd pollution. The results showed that:In the soil with medium Cd pollution, Cd contents in various rice organs of two rice varieties were increased by exogenous Zn, and the Cd contents in brown rice of XWX12 and WY46 were increased by 125.0% -275.0% and 6.6% -91.2%, respectively, but still lower than 0.2 mg·kg
