We investigated the responses of phytochelatins (PCs). glutathione (GSH) and other non-protein thiols in Cd hyperaccumulator Arabis paniculata after Cd exposure. Applying gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase (gamma-ECS) inhibitor, L-buthionine-sulfoximine (BSO), the roles of PCs in Cd tolerance and Cd accumulation in A. paniculata were evaluated. Plants were exposed to four Cd concentrations (0, 50, 100 and 250 mu M) for different times (2w or 3w)with and without BSO. Overall, Cd exposure had little impact on plant biomass after 2w or 3w of growth except at the highest Cd level. A. paniculata tolerated <= 100 mu M Cd with up to 1127 mg kg(-1) Cd in the shoots and 5624 mg kg(-1) Cd in the roots after 3w of Cd exposure. Cd exposure induced formation of PCs and three unknown thiols in the roots, but none were detected in the shoots. BSO had no significant effect on Cd sensitivity in plants though it reduced Cd accumulation in the roots. In addition, the molar ratio of PCs:Cd, which ranged from 0.7 to 1.3 after exposing to 50-100 mu M Cd without BSO in the roots, was close to the value expected for PC-mediated Cd sequestration in plants. Those data indicate that GSH and PCs did not contribute to Cd tolerance in the shoots and Cd transport from the root to shoot in A. paniculata, but they may play an important role in Cd accumulation and Cd complexation in the roots of A. paniculata.
