Abstract: | The physiological responses and Cu accumulation of Paulownia fortunei (Seem) Hemsl. were studied under 15.7–157 μmol L−1 Cu treatments in liquid culture for 14 days; the impacts of Cu concentration in the seedlings were evaluated under Cu mine
tailing culture with acetic acid and EDTA treatment for 60 days. Results showed that the concentrations of Chl-a, Chl-b and Carotenoids significantly increased (p < 0.05) at 15.7–78.7 μmol L−1Cu treatment and significantly decreased at 157 μmol L−1 treatment after 14 days of Cu exposure. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) significantly increased
as Cu levels were enhanced and the activities of both SOD and CAT under 157 μmol L−1 Cu stress were 2.9 and 1.9 times higher than that of control, respectively. The concentrations of proline and soluble sugars
in the leaves of P. fortunei significantly increased as the Cu concentrations were elevated. Cu concentrations in roots, stems and leaves of P. fortunei increased significantly as Cu levels increased and reached 1911, 101 and 93 μg g−1 dry weights (DW) at 157 μmol L−1 Cu treatment, respectively. The seedlings of P. fortunei cultivated in Cu tailing experienced unsuccessful growth and loss of leaves in all treatments due to poor nutrition of the
Cu tailing. The dry weight of P. fortunei increased under all the treatments of acetic acid after 60 days exposure. However, dry weight significantly decreased under
both levels of EDTA. The Cu concentrations increased significantly in roots and decreased in leaves when each was treated
with both concentrations of acetic acid. The Cu concentrations in the roots, stems and leaves increased significantly, and
the concentrations of Cu in the stems and leaves under the treatment of 2 μmol L−1 EDTA reached 189.5 and 763.1 μg g−1 DW, respectively. The result indicated that SOD, CAT, proline and soluble sugars played an important role in coping with
the oxidative stress of copper. Acetic acid could promote growth and EDTA at the experimental levels, which could also enhance
Cu absorption and translocation into the stems and leaves of P. fortune. Furthermore, acetic acid and EDTA could be rationally utilized in Cu-contaminated soil. |
