Changes in the contents of amino acids and the profile of fatty acids in response to cadmium contamination in spinach

Changes of amino acid (AAs) contents (glutamic acid - Glu, aspartic acid - Asp) and fatty acids profile (FAs) in spinach under cadmium (Cd) soil contamination (Cd1 = 30, Cd2 = 60, Cd3 = 90 mg/kg soil) are reported here. Spinach plants were sampled 25, 40, 55 and 75 days after sowing. Growing Cd soil...

description Changes of amino acid (AAs) contents (glutamic acid - Glu, aspartic acid - Asp) and fatty acids profile (FAs) in spinach under cadmium (Cd) soil contamination (Cd1 = 30, Cd2 = 60, Cd3 = 90 mg/kg soil) are reported here. Spinach plants were sampled 25, 40, 55 and 75 days after sowing. Growing Cd soil contamination was associated with the strong inhibition of above-ground biomass (23.5-6.3 g dry matter per pot) and with the enhancement of Cd content (0.60-72.38 mg/kg dry matter) in leaves. During 55 days of plant growing the increase of Glu and Asp content was associated with the enhancement of Cd content. The highest accumulation of AAs was determined on Cd3 treatment after 55 days of cultivation. Strong decreases of both AAs were confirmed in the last sampling period for Cd treatments (reduction of Glu content of Cd3 treatment to ca. 64% and Asp content to ca. 72% in contrast to control). The content of saturated fatty acids increased (mainly palmitic acid) and the content of unsaturated fatty acids decreased in spinach aboveground biomass with increasing Cd concentration. Results of multivariate analysis of variance MANOVA showed the significant effect of Cd contamination for FAs metabolism, but the most significant effect was confirmed for plant growing period.
