Abstract

High Cd pollution can damage plant physiology and seriously threaten ecological security and human health. Therefore, we designed a cropping system, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) - soybean - Solanum nigrum L., to solve the high Cd pollution problem in an environmentally and economically friendly way. The results showed that AMF were able to break free from the constraints of cocultivation and still promote plant photosynthesis and growth in combined treatments to resist Cd stress. In addition, cocultivation combined with AMF improved the antioxidant defense to scavenge reactive oxygen species by promoting the production of antioxidant enzymes and nonenzyme substances in host plants. The glutathione content in soybean and the catalase activity in nightshade were recorded at the highest values under cocultivation combined with AMF treatment, which were 23.68% and 129.12% higher than those of monoculture without AMF treatments. The improvement in antioxidant defense alleviated oxidative stress, which was manifested by the reduction in Cd dense electronic particles in the ultrastructure and a 26.38% decrease in MDA content. Furthermore, this cropping mode combined the advantages of cocultivation to improve the Cd extraction efficiency and Rhizophagus intraradices to limit Cd accumulation and transport so that Cd was more accumulated and restricted in the roots of the cocultivated Solanum nigrum L., and the Cd concentration in soybean beans was reduced by 56% compared with the soybean monoculture without AMF treatment. Therefore, we suggest that this cropping system is a comprehensive and mild remediation technology suitable for highly Cd-contaminated soil.
