Cadmium tolerant plant, Echinodorus osiris Rataj, was selected to study its root adaptive mechanism under Cd stress. The change of root porosity, radial oxygen loss (ROL), and iron plaque formation was investigated. Results suggested that Cd treatment decreased 28.6-49.9% of ROL and reduced 13.5-23.3% of root porosity but increased 63.4-147.2% of iron plaque after 21 days, respectively. Under different Cd treatments, the uptake of Cd in root presented quick and mild models while it showed relatively consistent increase in shoot. Correlation analysis demonstrated that Cd concentrations in plant were related negatively with root porosity but had no significant correlation with ROL. There was significant positive correlation between root porosity and ROL; however, they both related negatively with root iron plaque. Moreover, the scanning electron microscopy indicates a barrier to the movement of Cd in endodermis layers.
