Abstract
GB) upon 5 μM Cd stress. The foliar spray of GB markedly reduced Cd concentrations in plants and alleviated Cd-induced soil plant analysis development (SPAD) value, plant height and root length inhibition, with the mitigation effect being more obvious in Yunyan2. External GB markedly reduced Cd-induced malondialdehyde (MDA) accumulation, induced stomatal closure, ameliorated Cd-induced damages on leaf/root ultrastructure, and increased the chlorophyll content and fluorescence parameters of Fo, Fm, and Fv/Fm in both cultivars and Pn in Yunyan2. Exogenous GB counteracted Cd-induced alterations of certain antioxidant enzymes and nutrients uptake, e.g., the depressed Cd-induced increase of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) activities, but significantly elevated the depressed catalase (CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activities. The results indicate that alleviated Cd toxicity by GB application is related to the reduced Cd uptake and MDA accumulation, balanced nutrients and antioxidant enzyme activities, improved PSII, and integrated ultrastructure in tobacco plants.
