Abstract: | Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms) and salvinia (Salvinia auriculata Aubl.) were exposed to toxic levels of Cd with the objective of evaluating its effect on sulphate uptake and metabolism. Plants were treated with 0 and 5 μmol L−1 Cd for 3 days and, then sulphate uptake, ATP sulfurylase activity, soluble thiol content and Cd-binding complexes were determined. Water hyacinth showed a lower sulphate uptake, but its kinetic parameters were not affected by Cd. In salvinia, however, both Vmax and affinity to sulphate (1/Km) decreased with Cd treatment. The ATP sulfurylase activity increased in Cd-treated plant of both species, except in the roots of salvinia. In the presence of Cd water hyacinth always exhibited higher activity of this enzyme. The total soluble thiol content was always higher in water hyacinth. In Cd treated plants it increased in the leaves of water hyacinth, but decreased in salvinia. Cysteine content increased only in water hyacinth leaves, while γ-glutamylcysteine content increased in the two parts of the plants of both species after Cd treatment, especially in water hyacinth. Glutathione contents, on the contrary, after Cd treatment, reduced in both parts of the plants of water hyacinth but only in the leaves of salvinia. The unidentified thiol fraction content increased with Cd treatment in both species, especially in water hyacinth. Root and leaf extracts of both species showed peaks with maxima at A265/A280. In treated plants these peaks coincided with Cd content peaks indicating the formation of Cd-binding peptides. It was estimated that in the presence of Cd about 97% of Cd was associated with these complexes and water hyacinth had 28% more Cd-binding peptides than salvinia. Despite its lower sulphate uptake, water hyacinth showed higher rates of sulfur reduction and assimilation into soluble thiols. Possibly, glutathione is used in water hyacinth roots to synthesize hitherto unidentified Cd-binding peptides. |
