The rates of radial oxygen loss (ROL), root porosity, concentrations of arsenic (As), iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) in shoot and root tissues and on root surfaces, As tolerances, and their relationships in different wetland plants were investigated based on a hydroponic experiment (control, 0.8, 1.6 mg As L−1) and a soil pot trail (control, 60 mg As kg−1). The results revealed that wetland plants showed great differences in root porosity (9–64%), rates of ROL (55–1750 mmo1 O2 kg−1 root d.w. d−1), As uptake (e.g., 8.8–151 mg kg−1 in shoots in 0.8 mg As L−1 treatment), translocation factor (2.1–47% in 0.8 mg As L−1) and tolerance (29–106% in 0.8 mg As L−1). Wetland plants with higher rates of ROL and root porosity tended to form more Fe/Mn plaque, possess higher As tolerance, higher concentrations of As on root surfaces and a lower As translocation factor so decreasing As toxicity.
Research highlights
► There is significant correlation between the porosity of roots and rates of ROL.
► The rates of ROL are significantly correlated with tolerance indices and concentrations of As, Fe, Mn on root surface.
► The rates of ROL is negatively correlated with As translocation factor.
