Rice grains alleviate cadmium toxicity by expending glutamate and increasing manganese in the cadmium contaminated farmland

Abstract

The accumulation of cadmium (Cd) in rice grains is closely associated with the content of mineral nutrients and amino acid metabolism, but the causal link among them is unclear. Profiles of amino acids (AAs) and quantities of essential nutrients in grains from early and late rice cultivars grown at four sites with different Cd levels were analyzed in the present study. Hazard quotients (HQs) for consumers by intake of rice from late cultivars were much higher than that from early cultivars at sites with soil Cd content of 0.25, 0.61 and 0.84 mg kg-1. Cadmium accumulation in grains resulted in a sharp reduction of total essential AAs and non-essential AAs in both early and late rice cultivars. High-Cd-accumulating (HCA) cultivars had significantly higher level of glutamate (Glu) than low-Cd-accumulating (LCA) cultivars when rice Cd content was less than 0.20 mg kg-1. However, Glu level in grains dramatically declined with the accumulation of Cd, which subsequently leaded to the reduction of other AAs. Cadmium content was well predicted by five amino acids (i.e., Glu, Alanine, Phenylalanine, Glycine and Threonine) or four essential elements (Ca, Fe, Mn and Zn) when rice Cd was less than 0.80 mg kg-1. Amino acids played more impor...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
