摘要:

镉(Cd)作为高毒性重金属, 其环境污染与生态风险已成为全球性挑战, 阐明植物对镉胁迫的响应机制对污染治理及农业安全至关重要。该文系统阐述了Cd在土壤-植物系统中的环境行为、生理毒性效应及植物响应机制。研究表明, Cd通过竞争性利用Ca2+、Fe2+等二价阳离子的转运蛋白进入植物体, 并诱发活性氧(ROS)爆发、营养失衡及细胞结构损伤。植物进化出多层次的解毒策略, 包括细胞壁固定(果胶羧基结合)、螯合肽介导的液泡区隔化, 以及抗氧化酶系统(超氧化物歧化酶、过氧化氢酶)的协同防御。在修复技术方面, 物理(电动修复、纳米材料)、化学(磷酸盐钝化、可降解螯合剂)与生物(低Cd育种)方法的综合应用显著提升了Cd污染治理效率。未来研究需聚焦转运蛋白结构解析、多技术协同优化及非食用植物资源化利用, 以实现环境安全与农业可持续发展的协同目标。

Abstract:

Cadmium (Cd), a highly toxic heavy metal, poses significant environmental pollution and ecological risks that have become global concerns. Understanding the response mechanisms of plants to Cd stress is crucial for both pollution remediation and agricultural safety. This review systematically summarizes the environmental behavior, physiological toxic effects, and plant response mechanisms of Cd in the soil-plant system. We have demonstrated that Cd enters plants by competitively utilizing transport channels for essential metal ions such as Ca2+ and Fe2+, and triggers excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, nutrient imbalance, and cellular structure damage. Plants have evolved multi-level detoxification strategies, including cell wall immobilization through binding with pectin carboxyl groups, vacuolar sequestration mediated by chelating peptides such as phytochelatins and metallothioneins, and coordinated defense through antioxidant enzyme such as superoxide dismutase and catalase. In terms of remediation strategies, the integrated application of physical (e.g., electrokinetic remediation, nanomaterials), chemical (e.g., phosphate passivation, degradable chelating agents), and biological (e.g., low-Cd breeding) approaches has significantly improved the efficiency of Cd pollution control. Future studies should focus on the structural characterization of metal transport proteins, optimization of combined remediation technologies, and the resource-efficient use of non-edible plants to achieve the synergistic goals of environmental safety and sustainable agricultural development.
