摘要： Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are widely used in agricultural activities and have the potential to improve plant growth and plant tolerance against metal stress. PGR-assisted phytoextraction is now an effective and inexpensive method for enhancing the plant removal of toxic metals from soil. In this study, we conducted experiments to determine the effects of PGR treatments on soil uranium (U) and cadmium (Cd) removal by sunflowers as well as their stress response to U and Cd contamination. We found that the plant growth was inhibited by combined U and Cd stress in sunflowers compared with that of the control; however, the application of exogenous PGR had reduced the combined U and Cd stress by stimulating photosynthesis, decreasing the levels of active oxygen and lipid peroxidation, and enhancing the activity of the antioxidant defence systems. Exogenous PGR also increased the uptake of U and Cd by sunflowers and therefore, improved their U and Cd remediation efficiency. Moreover, indoleacetic acid (IAA) was the most effective PGR at removing U and Cd in the soil; the U and Cd removal efficiency was 484.21% and 238.85% higher in the 500 mg L-1 IAA application compared with that of the control without PGR application, respectively. Furthermore, none of the PGR treatments significantly influenced the available U and Cd contents in soil. Our results, therefore, may provide some detailed understanding on the technologies for the sustainable remediation of U and Cd contaminated soil by the combination of PGR treatments and phytoextraction.
