Abstract EN
Responses of Ulva prolifera and Ulva linza to Cd2+ stress were studied.
We found that the relative growth rate (RGR), Fv/Fm, and actual photochemical efficiency of PSII (Yield) of two Ulvaspecies were decreased under Cd2+ treatments, and these reductions were greater in U.
prolifera than in U.
linza.
U.
prolifera accumulated more cadmium than U.
linza under Cd2+ stress.
While U.
linza showed positive osmotic adjustment ability (OAA) at a wider Cd2+ range than U.
prolifera.
U.
linza had greater contents of N, P, Na+, K+, and amino acids than U.
prolifera.
A range of parameters (concentrations of cadmium, Ca2+, N, P, K+, Cl−, free amino acids (FAAs), proline, organic acids and soluble protein, Fv/Fm, Yield, OAA, and K+/Na+) could be used to evaluate cadmium resistance in Ulva by correlation analysis.
In accordance with the order of the absolute values of correlation coefficient, contents of Cd2+ and K+, Yield, proline content, Fv/Fm, FAA content, and OAA value of Ulva were more highly related to their adaptation to Cd2+ than the other eight indices.
Thus, U.
linza has a better adaptation to Cd2+ than U.
prolifera, which was due mainly to higher nutrient content and stronger OAA and photosynthesis in U.
linza.
