Abstrakt: Cadmium (Cd) is a harmful heavy metal that affects the growth and development of plants. Nitrogen (N) is an essential nutrient for plants, and appropriate N management can improve Cd tolerance. The aim of our study was to explore the effects of different forms of N on the molecular and physiological responses of the hyperaccumulator Solanum nigrum to Cd toxicity. Measurement of biomass, photosynthetic parameters, and Cd 2+ fluxes using non-invasive micro-test technique, Cd fluorescent dying, biochemical methods and quantitative real-time PCR analysis were performed in our study. Our results showed that ammonium (NH 4 + ) has stronger Cd detoxification ability than nitrate (NO 3 - ), which are likely attributed to the following three reasons: (1) NH 4 + decreased the influx and accumulation of Cd 2+ by regulating the transcription of Cd transport-related genes; (2) the ameliorative effects of NH 4 + were accompanied by the increased retention of Cd in the cell walls of roots; and (3) NH 4 + up-regulated SnExp expression.
