Abstract

The present article aims to introduce its investigation and research of the effects of petroleum at different concentrations on the quality of soybean,particularly,on the chlorophyll,malondialdehyde(MDA)and superoxide dismutase(SOD)activities of soybean seedling growth.Our experiments and research were conducted in two ways:in the field planting of soybean and the pot-planting in room conditions.The pot experiment was carried out in hoping to study the effects of petroleum with different concentrations on the content of chlorophyll,malondialdehyde(MDA)and superoxide dismutase(SOD)activities of soybean seedlings,whereas the field planting experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of petroleum-contaminated soil on the microbial distribution in polluted land and soybean in respect to its growth indexes and seed quality.The results of our pot experiments indicate that the contents of chlorophyll and SOD activities can be reduced 10.8 % and 9.8%,with MDA increased by 12.4% in the treatment of 10 000 mg·kg-1 petroleum.However,when the concentration remains at 3 000 mg·kg-1 and 5 000 mg·kg-1 of petroleum,no significant effects would be found on the soybean growth.In the meantime,the experiments with our field-planting cultivation of soybeans reveal that the crude grease and protein contents in the soybean seeds and germination percentage have no significant difference with unpolluted ones in comparison with the controlled soybean with the contrasted soybean samples.However,most growth indexes of soybean have been affected in 10 000 mg·kg-1 petroleum-contaminated soil.As to the soybean treated at the petroleum concentrations of 30 000-50 000 mg·kg-1,noticeable decrease can be found with the soybean plant height,the bean-pod numbers of a single plant,the kernel/pod,one hundred-grain average weight,root DW,yield per plant,biomass,germination percentage,crude grease,etc.For example,BaP content is 5.32-5.59 μg·kg-1 significantly higher than the state-ruled standard(5 μg·kg-1).Obvious increases can be found with the amount of microorganism,especially oil-degraded bacteria with the samples harvested form the polluted soil.Thus,it can be concluded that,when the petroleum concentration in the soil reaches 10 000 mg·kg-1,the eco-toxicity of the petroleum-contaminated soil to the physiological properties of soybean has been found obvious.But,when the treatment of 30 000-50 000 mg·kg-1 petroleum,noticeable effects of the petroleum-contaminated soil can be detected on the growth indexes and the soybean seed quality,the microorganism growth would not be inhibited.
