Abstract:
:Graphene oxide (GO) is extensively used in various fields because of its versatility. The presence of GO in the environment enhances the toxicity of toxicants or pollutants. Cadmium (Cd) and GO pollution is a problem in aquatic environment, which should be solved. We investigated the toxic effects of Cd on photosynthesis and oxidative stress in wheat seedlings in the presence of GO, by measuring seedling biomass, Cd content, photosynthesis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, antioxidant enzyme activities, and malondialdehyde (MDA) content. At low concentrations, GO alone had limited effects, but at concentrations > 20 mg L-1, seedlings were negatively affected. Under combined Cd-GO treatment, GO was significantly toxic at only 5 mg L-1 concentration, and increasing concentration significantly increased Cd accumulation and decreased biomass. The net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, primary maximum photochemical efficiency of photosystem II, actual quantum yield, photosynthetic electron transport rate, chlorophyll content, and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase concentration decreased significantly, whereas intercellular CO2 concentration increased significantly. These changes can be attributed to impairment of ROS level, antioxidant enzyme activities, and MDA level, and toxicity mechanisms are suggested to be due to oxidative stress. The resulting damage to the photosynthetic systems and structures likely contributed to the overall decrease in biomass.
