Ber. Ohara Inst. landw. Boil.， Okayama Univ. 20; 1 -9 (191) THE EFFECT OF SEVERAI:. CADMIUM COMPOUNDS IN SOIL ON THE METAL CONTENT OF UNPOLISHED RICE Shi，geki MURAMOTO， Hisao NISHIZAKI and Isao AOYAMA 1 There are many reports on the effect of cadmium mixed with soil on the growth of plants3， 4， 6， 7，10). However， the metal content and the growth of the rice plants as influenced by several kinds of cadmium compounds added to soil have not been investigated. Thus， a pot-experiment was established to determine the metal content of the unpolished rice and the response of rice plants to twelve kinds of cadmium compounds in soil， atthe average range of cadmium pollution in Japan. For the sake of convenience， we divided the twelve compounds of cadmium into two groups: soluble and insoluble. Then we compared the metal content of unpolished rice between the two groups. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twelve kinds of Cd compounds were used in this experiment. Table 1 and Table 2 show the nominal concentrations of the metals in soil， containing 10 kg of dry alluvial soil. The twelve test groups were 1) CdS04.2吾H20， 2) Cd(CH3COO)z.2+H20， 3) CdClz.2+H20， 4) Cd(N03)z.4H20， 5) CdBr2.4H20， 6) Cdlz， 7) CdF2， 8) Cd(OH)z， 9) Cd(CN)z， 10) CdO， 11) CdC03; 12) CdS， and control. The pH range of control soil was 5.9-6.1 and the soil contained heavy metals as follows: 0.28μg/g Cd， 138μg/g Zn， 35μg/g Pb and 39μg/g Cu in dry matter. Two plants per pot were planted from 4， July to 7 November for about 16 weeks. Four replicates were used. To each pot was added 5 g ammonium sulfate， 4.3 g calcium su-perphosphate， 1.4 g potassi um sulfate， and tap water containing < 0.01 ppm Cd to maintain good plant growth. After cropping， the rice grains were grained to obtain unpolished rice. Each sample was dried at 80 'c for 48-hr in a hot air drier and was digested with HN03-HCI04 (2 : 1).

Effect of Several Cadmium Compounds on Metal Content of Rice 3 This solution was made up to a fixed volume by the addition of 1N-HCl and used for the determination of Cd， Zn， Pb， and Cu with ato・mic absorption using the DDTC-MIBK extracting method. RESUL TS AND DISCUSSIONS Table 2 shows the relationship between the Cd content in soil and the growth of rice plants. Addition of cadmium markedly affected the growth，6. 10， 11) and the yield of rice plants. The occurrence of chlorosis6) at the early stage of rice plant growth after cadmium addi-tion to soil， induced by cadmium toxicity， might be related to de-creased iron uptake of plants1， 2). Rice grain yield was calculated to de-crease by 9 %， and 14 % with addition of 10 ppm Cd， and 50 ppm Cd， respectively. The weight of the stem of rice plants decreased by about 17-18 %， and 24-27 %， with addition of 10 ppm Cd and 50 ppm Cd， re-spectively. However， there was no significant difference between the two groups. Table 3 shows the cadmium， zinc， and copper concentra-tions in unpolished rice.

Muramoto， H. Nishizaki and 1. Aoyama 10 ppm Cd and 50 ppm Cd added to soil was recognized at the level of 1 % error. In the group of Cdh added to soil， rice plants did not grow be-cause of the damage of root tissues due to the combined toxicity of cadmium and iodide ions. These results indicated that the Cd content of unpolished rice in the group treated with 50 ppm Cd was higher than that in the group treated with 10 ppm Cd6， 8， 9). Also， the average zinc concentrations was 19.3 to 25.8μg/g with an average of 21.9土 2.0μg/gin the group treated with 10 ppm Cd， and 20.7 to 26.0μg/ g wi th an average of 2.9土1.9μg/g for 50 ppm Cd， respectively. There was a significant difference in zinc concentration of un-polished rice between the plants treated with cadmium， and the control. However， the concentrations of copper and lead in unpolished rice in the plants treated with cadmium were similar to those of the control. Figures 1 and 2 show the relationship between Cu and Zn in un-polished rice. The cDrrelation coefficients for [Cd] -[Cu] was evaluated to be， r = 0.78 (pく0.1)and r = 0.80 (pく0.1)in the 10 ppm Cd group and the 50 ppm Cd group added to soil， respectively. 4 4.0 6.0 5.0 ?????? ? ? ? ? ? ? 。???し25 Zn content (μg/g) 20 Correlation among (Cu)ー(Zn)in unpolished rice for Cd 10 mg/kg added 10 soil.

Muramoto， H. Nishizaki and 1. Aoyama SUMMMARY The metal uptake of rice plants grown on soil treated with twelve kinds of cadmium compounds was investigated at the cadmium concen-tration levels of polluted districts in ]apan. There is a significant dif-ference in cadmium content of unpolished rice between the soluble compounds and the insoluble ones. The cadmium contents of un-polished rice from soil treated with 50 ppm cadmium was in the follow-ing order of magnitude: cadmium chloride semipentahydrate， cadmium bromide tetrahydrate， cadmium acetate dihydrate， cadmium oxide， cad-mium cyanide， cadmium hydroxide， cadmium sulfide， cadmium carbon-ate. The plants that were treated with cadmium iodide did not grow， because of root tissue damage due to the combined toxicity of cadmium and iodide ions. Acknowledgements The author thanks Dr. ].
