Abstract

Responses of morphological and physiological characteristics in rice(Oryza sativa L.) seedling roots to its uptake of nano-Cu O(10, 100mg/L) were investigated using hydroponic experiments by setting micron oxide copper(micron-Cu O) and copper ions(Cu2+) as control. Results showed that total copper contents in roots and shoots(roots 351~1444mg/kg dw; shoots 351~1444mg/kg dw) of rice seedlings in nano-Cu O treatments(10, 100mg/L) were higher than those in micron-Cu O treatments(roots 248~817mg/kg dw; shoots 1.57~1.60mg/kg dw) and Cu2+ treatments(roots147~220mg/kg dw; shoots 14~26mg/kg dw), and furthermore, nano-Cu O was observed in TEM images of both root and stem cells, indicating rice seedling can uptake and transfer nano-Cu O by the form of nano-Cu O. A large amount of nano-Cu Os observed in endosomes of rice seedling cells indicated that nano-Cu O mainly relied on endocytic pathways to enter cell. The nano-Cu O had toxic effects on rice seedling roots and the inhibitory rates on roots morphologies of nano-Cu O ranged from 28% to 74%, and root length, root volume and root specific surface area were most sensitive indicators for nano-Cu O toxicity. Both nano-Cu O bioaccumulation in rice and nanoeffects resulted in toxicities of nano-Cu O to rice seedling roots. Under low concentration of nano-Cu O strees(10mg/L), root activities of rice seedlings significant improved but no significant differences were observed in its total roots absorbing area and actively absorbing area, compared with the control. Under high concentration of nano-Cu O strees(100mg/L), root activities and total roots absorbing area of rice seedlings significantly decreased, compared with control.
