| Summary: | To study the cadmium accumulation characteristics of Solanum nigrum with different ploidies, the biomass, cadmium content and cadmium accumulation of diploid (Solanum photeinocarpum), tetraploid (Solanum photeinocarpum) and hexaploid (Solanum nigrum) were measured by a pot experiment. The results showed that the biomass of roots, stems, leaves and shoots of S. nigrum plants with different ploidy all ranked as follows: hexaploid > tetraploid > diploid. Cadmium content and cadmium accumulation in stems, leaves and shoots of hexaploid plants were significantly higher than those in tetraploid and diploid plants, and the cadmium translocation factor and translocation accumulation factor of hexaploid were the largest, too. Therefore, hexaploid S. nigrum had a highest ability to extract and transport cadmium, which can be used as an ideal plant for remediation of cadmium-contaminated soil.
