Abstract:

Utilizing Taxodium distichum, Zhongshanshan 118, and Zhongshanshan 406 as experimental materials, a hydroponic cultivation experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of heavy metal cadmium stress. The study assessed the osmotic adjustment system indicators such as leaf soluble sugars, proline, and soluble proteins content to compare the response characteristics of different Zhongshanshan clones under various cadmium concentrations. The objective was to select clones with cadmium tolerance and preliminarily explore the physiological mechanisms underlying their heavy metal cadmium resistance from the perspective of osmotic regulation. The findings indicate that under cadmium stress, the three Zhongshanshan clones displayed distinct response traits. Notably, Zhongshanshan 406 exhibited the most stable levels of leaf soluble sugars and soluble proteins content, and a pronounced increase in proline content, thereby demonstrating the most robust osmotic adjustment capacity in response to heavy metal cadmium stress.

Key words: cadmium stress, soluble sugar, soluble protein, proline, osmotic regulation, Taxodium hybrid Zhongshanshan
