摘要：
To explore the effects of different concentrations of zinc（Zn）on the growth and root architecture classification of maize seedlings under cadmium（Cd）stress，a hydroponic experiment was conducted to study the effects of different concentrations of Zn（0，10，25，50，100，200，and 400 µmol·L-1）on the growth，root architecture and classification characteristics，Cd content，root Cd uptake capacity，and photosynthetic system of maize seedlings under Cd stress（50 µmol·L-1）by using Zhengdan 958 as the experimental material. Principal component analysis and the membership function method were used for comprehensive evaluation. The results showed that the 50 µmol·L-1 Cd stress had a significant toxic effect on maize seedlings，which significantly reduced chlorophyll content and photosynthetic parameters. The main root length，plant height，biomass，root forks，and root tips，including the root length and root surface area of the grade Ⅰ-Ⅲ diameter range and the root volume of the grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ diameter range，decreased significantly，which hindered the normal growth and development of maize seedlings. Compared with that under no Zn application，100 µmol·L-1 and 200 µmol·L-1 Zn application reduced the uptake of Cd by maize seedlings，significantly reduced the Cd content in shoots and roots and the Cd uptake efficiency. The toxic effect on maize seedlings was alleviated，and the fresh weight，dry weight，tolerance index，and root forks of shoots and roots were significantly increased. The photosynthesis of maize seedlings was significantly enhanced，and the photosynthetic rate and the total chlorophyll content was significantly increased. The RL，SA，and RV in the Ⅰ-Ⅱ diameter range reached the maximum at 100 µmol·L-1 Zn，and the RL，SA，and RV in the Ⅲ diameter range reached the maximum at 200 µmol·L-1 Zn，which were significantly higher than those without Zn treatment. The comprehensive evaluation of the growth tolerance of maize seedlings showed that 100 µmol·L-1 and 200 µmol·L-1 Zn had better effects on alleviating Cd toxicity. Comprehensive analysis showed that the application of appropriate concentration of Zn could reduce the Cd content in maize seedlings，the Cd uptake capacity，and Cd uptake efficiency of roots；increase the biomass accumulation of maize seedlings；reduce the effect of Cd toxicity on root architecture；reduce the effect on the light and system；and improve the tolerance of maize seedlings to Cd. © 2024 Science Press.
