Abstract:
      Neyraudia reynaudiana is a plant with a large biomass, low soil nutrient tolerance, and high enrichment ability for the heavy metal Pb. In order to study the Pb tolerance mechanisms of Neyraudia reynaudiana, the root cell wall was studied by chemical modification, and the Pb adsorption kinetics were determined. The results show that, first, the amount of Pb2+ adsorbed by the root cell wall was reduced by 68.1% after partial hydroxyl functional group removal by esterification. Second, pectinase removed some of the pectin from the cell wall, after partial amino group removal by methylation. These two processes decreased the amount of Pb adsorbed by 48.9% and 41.1%, respectively. Fourier infrared spectroscopy was used to study the Pb2+ adsorption capacity of different components of the Neyraudia reynaudiana cell wall. The hydroxyl group provided by pectin, the carboxyl group provided by cellulose and hemicellulose, and the amino functional group provided by cell wall proteins, are all important sites for Neyraudia reynaudiana to immobilize Pb2+. This shows that the hydroxyl group, carboxyl group and amino group can all provide Pb binding sites in the cell wall; in particular, the hydroxyl functional group enables the cell wall to have a high Pb adsorption and immobilization ability, and constitutes an important mechanism for Neyraudia reynaudiana to resist Pb stress.
