Cadmium (Cd) is a major pollutant in farmland, which not only greatly restricts crop production, but also brings a serious threat to human health through entering the food chain. Our previous study showed that hemin treatment could reduce the accumulation of Cd in pak choi seedlings. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we used non-invasive micro-test technology (NMT) to detect the real-time Cd²⁺ flux from pak choi roots and demonstrated that hemin treatment decreased Cd uptake rather than its translocation within plants. Moreover, through comparing the responses of different chemical treatments in pak choi seedlings and Arabidopsis wild-type and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) mutant, we provided evidence that hemin-decreased Cd uptake was HO-1 dependent. Furthermore, analyses of hemin degradation products suggested that the hemin-derived suppression of Cd uptake suppression was probably relying on its degradation by-products, ferrous iron (Fe²⁺) and carbon monoxide (CO), via repressing the expression of a Fe²⁺/Cd²⁺ transporter BcIRT1 in pak choi roots.
