Accumulation characteristics and antioxidant enzyme activities in rice seedlings from a high-cadmium (Cd)-accumulating cultivar Tyou705 (705) and low-Cd-accumulating cultivar Xiangzao 24 (X24) were studied, based on hydroponic experiment. Three levels of calcium (Ca) (0, 1.0 and 2.0 mmol ? L-1) and two levels of Cd (0 and 2.7 μmol ? L-1) were designed in this study. Experimental results showed that the tolerance of rice seedlings to Cd stress was significantly improved by adding 1.0 or 2.0 mmol?L-1 Ca. Comparing with Cd control, adding 1.0 mmol ? L-1 Ca made the seedling biomass of 705 and X24 increased by 68.9% and 116.2%, respectively. Addition of 2.0 mmol ?L-1 Ca was more effective than that of 1.0 mmol ?L-1 Ca in promoting rice biomass, root tip number, total root length, and total root surface area. After addition of 2.0 mmol ? L-1 Ca and Cd contents in roots and shoots of 705 decreased by 23.5% and 35.2%, Cd in roots and shoots of X24 decreased by 22.2% and 18.7%, respectively. Addition of Ca significantly promoted the accumulation of Mg, K and Zn in shoots and roots of X24 under Cd stress environment and eliminated the inhibitory effect of Cd on the uptake of these elements. Both 1.0 and 2.0 mmol ? L-1 Ca significantly decreased the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) in rice seedlings under Cd stress. These results indicated that 1.0-2.0 mmol ?L-1 Ca could significantly reduce Cd content in rice roots and shoots, promote the uptake and accumulation of essential elements and alleviate the oxidative damage caused by Cd stress in rice seedlings.
