Hyperaccumulative Characteristics of 7 Widely Distributing Weed Species in Composite Family Especially Bidens pilosa to Heavy Metals
三叶鬼针草等7种常见菊科杂草植物对重金属的超富集特征

Hyperaccumulator is the main point of phytoremediating contaminated soils by heavy metals, and the identification of hyperaccumulator is still the difficult and key step of phytoremediation. The outdoor pot-culture experiment was used to study the hyperaccumulative characteristics of 7 widely distributing weed species in Northeast of China to heavy metals. The results in screening experiment showed that Taraxacum mongolicum and Bidens pilosa indicated strong tolerance to Cd single and Cd-Pb-Cu-Zn combined pollution, their Cd concentration in shoot were higher than that in roots, and the Cd enhancement factors (ratio of heavy metal concentration in shoot to that in soil) in shoots were greater than 1 too, which displayed that the two plants were with Cd hyperaccumulative characteristics. In concentration gradient experiment, Cd concentration in leaves of B. pilosa were all greater than 100 mg·kg-1 the minimum of Cd-hyperaccumulator should have under the conditions of 25, 50, 100 mg·kg-1 Cd added. Meanwhile, the shoot biomass of B. pilosa did not reduce significantly (p<0.05), Cd concentration in its shoots were higher than those in roots. But for T. mongolicum Cd concentration in its shoots were not greater than 100 mg·kg-1 in any treatment. Thus, only B. pilosa can be regarded as Cd-hyperaccumulator.
