摘要： Cadmium (Cd) and drought, as abiotic stresses, have long been significant challenges for crop growth and agricultural production. However, there have been relatively few studies conducted on the effects of drought stress on Cd uptake, especially regarding the differences in Cd uptake characterization in varieties with varying Cd accumulation under different drought stress. To investigate the effects of drought conditions on Cd uptake by wheat in different genotypes under specific background levels of Cd pollution, we validated the differences in root absorption characteristics of low- (YM) and high-grain Cd accumulating wheat genotypes (XM) using non-invasive micro-test technology, and we conducted a hydroponic experiment on the Cd addition and different drought levels in a climate-controlled chamber. The biomass, root morphology, Cd uptake, and accumulation were determined under Cd (100 mu mol L-1) and different drought levels of 0% (0 MPa), 5% (-0.100 Mpa), 10% (-0.200 Mpa), and 15% (-0.388 Mpa) simulated by polyethylene glycol (PEG-6000). We found that the simultaneous exposure to Cd and drought had a suppressive effect on the total root lengths, root surface areas, and root volumes of XM and YM, albeit with distinct patterns of variation. As the concentration of PEG-6000 increased, the Cd concentrations and the amount of Cd accumulated in the roots and shoots of XM and YM decreased. Specifically, the Cd concentration in the roots exhibited a reduction ranging from 12.51% to 66.90%, while the Cd concentration in the shoots experienced an even greater decrease of 50.46% to 80.57%. The PEG-6000 concentration was significantly negatively correlated (p < 0.001) with Cd concentration of roots and shoots and Cd accumulation in roots, shoots, and the whole plants and significantly negatively correlated (p < 0.05) with the total length, surface area, and volume of roots. This study confirms that drought stress (5% PEG-6000) can decrease the uptake and accumulation of Cd in wheat seedlings without significant inhibition of biomass, and the change of root morphology (root length) and the decrease of Cd concentration in roots may be the main direct pathways for achieving these effects under drought stress. This research provides a new perspective and idea for water management in Cd-contaminated farmland.
