ABSTRACT
Heavy metal pollution in soils has become an important concern for human health. Therefore, it is vital to develop suitable remediation strategies for contaminated soils. Oilseed rape tolerates high concentrations of heavy metals and is a promising candidate for the phytoextraction of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) from metal-contaminated soils. A field experiment was conducted to evaluate 28 oilseed rape cultivars including Brassica napus L. and Brassica juncea L. for their ability to accumulate Cd and Pb. These cultivars were grown in a field co-contaminated with Cd (0.78 mg kg-1) and Pb (330 mg kg-1). The results showed that concentrations in shoots ranged from 1.22 to 3.01 mg kg-1 for Cd and from 10.8 to 29.5 mg kg-1 for Pb. Cadmium and Pb accumulations in shoots could reach 83.4 and 799 µg plant-1, respectively. The majority of translocation factors (TFs) for Cd (> 1.0) were higher than for Pb (≤ 1.0). However, concentrations of Cd and Pb in seeds were much lower, in the range of 0.04 to 0.21 mg kg-1 and 0.04 to 0.51 mg kg-1, respectively. The seed yields of oilseed rape varied from 1238 to 2904 kg ha-1, with a mean value of 2289 kg ha-1. Among the cultivars, three (OS-9, OS-12, and OS-15) were selected as Cd and Pb potential accumulators, with Cd accumulation in shoots being 2.74-3.70 times higher and Pb accumulation in shoots being 3.37-5.23 times higher as compared with the lowest accumulating cultivar. These selected cultivars (B. napus) have application potential for phytoextraction of Cd and Pb from polluted soils without stopping agricultural activities and accompanying food safety issues.
