Field measurements and open-top chamber experiments using nine current European winter wheat cultivars provided a data set that was used to revise and improve the parameterisation of a stomatal conductance model for wheat, including a revised value for maximum stomatal conductance and new functions for phenology and soil moisture. For the calculation of stomatal conductance for ozone a diffusivity ratio between O(3) and H(2)O in air of 0.663 was applied, based on a critical review of the literature. By applying the improved parameterisation for stomatal conductance, new flux-effect relationships for grain yield, grain mass and protein yield were developed for use in ozone risk assessments including effects on food security. An example of application of the flux model at the local scale in Germany shows that negative effects of ozone on wheat grain yield were likely each year and on protein yield in most years since the mid 1980s.

Cropland contamination by toxic trace metal (loid)s (TTMs) has attracted increasing attention due to the serious consequential threat to crop quality and human health. Mitigation of plant TTM stress by silica amendment has been proposed recently. However, the relationship between the siliceous structure of phytoliths and TTMs in plants, and the environmental implications of phytolith-occluded trace metal (loid)s (PhytTMs) remain unclear. This study assessed the accumulation of five metal (loid)s, including lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu) and arsenic (As), in the organic tissues and phytoliths of wheat grown in a mixed-TTM contaminated soil under both lightly and heavily contaminated conditions. The results show that the concentrations of plant TTMs and PhytTMs were significantly (p < 0.05) positively correlated, and higher in heavily contaminated wheats than those in lightly contaminated ones. The bio-enrichment factors between phytoliths and organic tissues were higher for As (1.83), Pb (0.27) and Zn (0.30) than for Cd (0.03) and Cu (0.14), implying that As, Pb and Zn were more readily co-precipitated with silicon (Si) in phytolith structures than Cd and Cu. Network analysis of the relationship between soil and plant elements with PhytTMs showed that severe contamination could impact the homeostasis of elements in plants by altering the translocation of TTMs between soils, plants, and phytoliths. The accumulation of TTMs in phytoliths was affected by the capacity of Si deposition in tissues and chelation of TTMs with silica, which could impact the role of PhytTMs in global biogeochemical TTM cycles.

Iron oxides and microorganisms are important soil components that profoundly affect the transformation and bioavailability of heavy metals in soils. Here, batch and pot experiments were conducted to investigate the immobilization mechanisms of Cd by Cd-loving Bacillus sp. N3 and ferrihydrite (Fh) as well as their impacts on Cd uptake by wheat and bacterial community composition in wheat rhizospheric soil. The results showed that the combination of strain N3 with Fh could immobilize more Cd compared to strain N3 and Fh, respectively. Furthermore, strain N3 facilitated Cd retention on Fh, which synergistically reduced the concentration of DTPA extracted Cd in the soil and decreased Cd content (57.1%) in wheat grains. Moreover, inoculation with strain N3 increased the complexity of the co-occurrence network of the bacterial community in rhizospheric soil, and the abundance of beneficial bacteria with multipel functions including heavy metal immobilization, dissimilatory iron reduction, and plant growth promotion. Overall, this study demonstrated the enrichment of strain N3 and iron oxides, together with increased soil pH, synergistically immobilized soil Cd, which strongly suggested inoculation with Cd-loving strains could be a promising approach to immobilize Cd and reduce wheat uptake of Cd, particular for soils rich in iron oxides.

Applying mineral phosphorus (P) fertilizers introduces a considerable input of the toxic heavy metal cadmium (Cd) into arable soils. This study investigates the fate of P fertilizer derived Cd (Cddff) in soil-wheat systems using a novel combination of enriched stable Cd isotope mass balances, sequential extractions, and Bayesian isotope mixing models. We applied an enriched ¹¹¹Cd labeled mineral P fertilizer to arable soils from two long-term field trials with distinct soil properties (a strongly acidic pH and a neutral pH) and distinct past mineral P fertilizer application rates. We then cultivated wheat in a pot trial on these two soils. In the neutral soil, Cd concentrations in the soil and the wheat increased with increasing past mineral P fertilizer application rates. This was not the case in the strongly acidic soil. Less than 2.3% of freshly applied Cddff was taken up by the whole wheat plant. Most of the Cddff remained in the soil and was predominantly (>95% of freshly applied Cddff) partitioned into the easily mobilizable acetic acid soluble fraction (F1) and the potentially mobile reducible fraction (F2). Soil pH was the determining factor for the partitioning of Cddff into F1, as revealed through a recovery of about 40% of freshly applied Cddff in F1 in the neutral pH soil compared with about 60% in the strongly acidic soil. Isotope mixing models showed that F1 was the predominant source of Cd for wheat on both soils and that it contributed to over 80% of the Cd that was taken up by wheat. By tracing the fate of Cddff in entire soil-plant systems using different isotope source tracing approaches, we show that the majority of Cddff remains mobilizable and is potentially plant available in the subsequent crop cycle.

High cadmium (Cd) concentration in common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grains poses potential health risks. Several management strategies have been used to reduce grain Cd concentration. However, limited information is available on the use of ammonium-nitrogen (NH₄⁺-N) as a strategy to manage Cd concentration in wheat grains. In this study, NH₄⁺-N addition at the seedling stage unchanged the grain Cd concentration in the high-Cd accumulator, Zhoumai 18 (ZM18), but dramatically increased that in the low-Cd accumulator, Yunmai 51 (YM51). Further analysis revealed that the effects of NH₄⁺-N addition on whole-plant Cd absorption, root-to-shoot Cd translocation, and shoot-to-grain Cd remobilization were different between the two wheat cultivars. In ZM18, NH₄⁺-N addition did not change whole-plant Cd absorption, but inhibited root-to-shoot Cd translocation and Cd remobilization from lower internodes, lower leaves, node 1, and internode 1 to grains via the down-regulation of yellow stripe-like transporters (YSL), zinc transporters (ZIP5, ZIP7, and ZIP10), and heavy-metal transporting ATPases (HMA2). This inhibition decreased the grain Cd content by 29.62%, which was consistent with the decrease of the grain dry weight by 23.26%, leading to unchanged grain Cd concentration in ZM18. However, in YM51, NH₄⁺-N addition promoted continuous Cd absorption during grain filling, root-to-shoot Cd translocation and whole-plant Cd absorption. The absorbed Cd was directly transported to internode 1 via the xylem and then re-transported to grains via the phloem by up-regulated YSL, ZIP5, and copper transporters (COPT4). This promotion increased the grain Cd content by 245.35%, which was higher than the increased grain dry weight by 132.89%, leading to increased grain Cd concentration in YM51. Our findings concluded that the addition of NH₄⁺-N fertilizer at the seedling stage is not suitable for reducing grain Cd concentration in common wheat cultivars.

Plant uptake is an important process in determining the transfer of pesticides through a food chain. Understanding how crops take up and translocate pesticides is critical in developing powerful models to predict pesticide accumulation in agricultural produce and potential human exposure. Herein, wheat was selected as a model plant species to investigate the uptake and distribution of eleven widely used pesticides in a hydroponic system as a function of time for 144 h. The time-dependent uptake kinetics of these pesticides were fitted with a first-order 1-compartment kinetic model. During 144 h, flusilazole and difenoconazole, with relative high log Kₒw (3.87 and 4.36, respectively), displayed higher root uptake rate constants (k). To clarify the role of root lipid content (fₗᵢₚ) in plant accumulation of pesticides, we conducted a lipid normalization meta-analysis using data from this and previous studies, and found that the fₗᵢₚ value was an important factor in predicting the root concentration factor (RCF) of pesticides. An improved correlation was observed between log RCF and log fₗᵢₚKₒw (R² = 0.748, N = 26, P < 0.001), compared with the correlation between log RCF and log Kₒw (R² = 0.686, N = 26, P < 0.001). Furthermore, the hydrophilic pesticides (e.g. log Kₒw < 2) were found to reach partition equilibrium faster than lipophilic pesticides (e.g. log Kₒw > 3) during the uptake process. The quasi-equilibrium factor (αₚₜ) was inversely related to log Kₒw (R² = 0.773, N = 11, P < 0.001) suggesting a hydrophobicity-regulated uptake equilibrium. Findings from this study could facilitate crop-uptake model optimization.

Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO₂NPs) application in variety of commercial products would likely release these NPs into the environment. The interaction of TiO₂NPs with terrestrial plants upon uptake can disturb plants functional traits and can also transfer to the food chain members. In this study, we investigated the impact of TiO₂NPs on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plants functional traits, primary macronutrients assimilation, and change in the profile of bio-macromolecule. Moreover, the mechanism of biochar-TiO₂NPs interaction, immobilization, and tissue accumulation to cell translocation of NPs in plants was also explored. The results indicated that the contents of Ti in wheat tissues was reduced about 3-fold and the Ti transfer rate (per day) was reduced about 2 fold at the 1000 mg L⁻¹ exposure level of TiO₂NPs in biochar amended exposure medium. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with elemental mapping confirmed that Ti concentrated in plant tissues in nano-form. The interactive effect of TiO₂NPs + biochar amendment on photosynthesis related and gas exchange traits was observed at relatively low TiO₂NPs exposure level (200 mg L⁻¹), which induced the positive impact on wheat plants proliferation. TiO₂NPs alone exposure to wheat also modified the plant’s bio-macromolecules profile with the reduction in the assimilation of primary macronutrients, which could affect the food crop nutritional value and quality. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) chemical analysis of biochar + TiO₂NPs showed an additional peak, which indicated the binding interaction of NPs with biochar. Moreover, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy confirmed that the biochar carboxyl group is the main functionality involved in the bonding process with TiO₂NPs. These findings will help for a mechanistic understanding of the role of biochar in the reduction of NPs bioavailability to primary producers of the terrestrial environment.

We investigated how sulfur (S) application prior to wheat cultivation under wheat-rice rotation influences the uptake of cadmium (Cd) in rice grown in low- and high-Cd soils. A pot experiment was conducted with four S levels (0, 30, 60, 120 mg S kg⁻¹) and two Cd rates (low and high, 0.35 and 10.35 mg Cd kg⁻¹) supplied to wheat. Part of the wheat straw was returned to the soil before planting rice, which was cultivated for 132 days. To explore the key mechanisms by which S application controlled Cd accumulation in brown rice, (1) soil pore water at the key growth stages was sampled, and dissolved Cd and S species concentrations were determined; (2) rice plant tissues (including iron plaque on the root surface) were sampled at maturity for Cd and S analysis. With increasing S level, Cd accumulation in brown rice peaked at 60 mg S kg⁻¹, irrespective of soil Cd levels. For high-Cd soils, concentrations of Cd in brown rice increased by 57%, 228%, and 100% at 30, 60, and 120 mg S kg⁻¹, respectively, compared with no S treatment. The increase in brown rice Cd by low S levels (0–60 mg kg⁻¹) could be attributed to (1) the S-induced increase in soil pore water sulfate increasing the Cd influx into rice roots and (2) the S-induced increase in leaf S promoting Cd translocation into brown rice. However, brown rice Cd decreased at 120 mg S kg⁻¹ due to (1) low Cd solubility at 120 mg S kg⁻¹ and (2) root and leaf S uptake, which inhibited Cd uptake. Sulfur application to wheat crop increased the risk of Cd accumulation in brown rice. Thus, applying S-containing fertilizers to Cd-contaminated paddy soils is not recommended.

The presence of phenols, such as nonylphenol (NP), bisphenol (BPA), and octylphenol (OP), in the environment have been receiving increased attention due to their potential risks to human health and environment. The use of reclaimed water for irrigation may be one of the sources of these phenols in the agricultural system. A field experiment was conducted to assess the effects of reclaimed water irrigation on phenol contamination of agricultural topsoil and products in the North China Plain between 2015 and 2016. Three irrigation treatments were applied to all crops: reclaimed water irrigation, groundwater irrigation and alternative irrigation with reclaimed water and groundwater (1:1, v/v). The results showed that the concentrations of NP, BPA, and OP in the topsoil were 0.02–0.54, 0.004–0.06, and ND–9.9 × 10⁻³ mg/kg, respectively; the corresponding values in agricultural products were 0.007–0.70, 0.004–0.24, and ND–1.08 mg/kg, respectively. The concentration of NP in the topsoil and agricultural products and that of BPA in the agricultural products were all less than the recommended limits. The yields of wheat, maize, vegetables were 4.35–7.08, 1.03–6.46, and 10.9–67.0 t/ha, respectively. The bioaccumulation factors (BCFs) of OP, NP, and BPA for cereals were 0.7–4.77, 0.16–4.59, and 1.3–23.9, respectively; the corresponding values in vegetables were 0.0–4.53 (except cucumber and eggplant), 0.38–12.6, and 0.57–24.3, respectively. No significant differences in phenol concentrations, BCFs, or yields of wheat and vegetables were observed among the three irrigation treatments. In conclusion, compared with groundwater irrigation, reclaimed water irrigation in this experiment did not significantly affect phenol concentrations in the topsoil and agricultural products as well as BCFs and yields of wheat and vegetables. However, because the quality of reclaimed water may vary across collected areas, additional experiments are warranted to analyze the effects of reclaimed water irrigation on the risk of phenol contamination.
