“…DP significantly inhibited seed germination rate, root length and shoot length of the two kinds of rice, and a dose-response relationship was showed, which might be because oxidative stress in rice was induced in DP treatment and cell division and growth was inhibited. The reports showed that TBBPA significantly inhibited the germination rate and root elongation of soybean, chickpea and maize seeds, and the inhibition increased with the increase of TBBPA concentration (Dogan et al, 2010; Wang et al, 2019), the results of this experiment are consistent with them. There was no effect on seed germination and root length of Trifolium pratense in TBBPA treatment, which may be due to species differences in TBBPA stress, and different plants have different responses to TBBPA (Sverdrup et al, 2006).…”

“…TBBPA easily accumulates in organisms and spreads through the food chain and food web to the entire ecosystem, causing toxic effects. TBBPA pollution had toxic effects on seed germination and seedling growth of soybean, chickpea and maize (Dogan et al, 2010;Ge and Zhang, 2017;Wang et al, 2019). Li (Li et al, 2008) reported that TBBPA reduced the activity of antioxidant enzymes and chlorophyll content in wheat, and TBBPA also reduced the activity of soil enzyme and soil microbial biomass (Wang et al, 2019).…”

“…Seed vigor index is expressed by germination index and vigor index, which is the comprehensive reflection of seed germination rate and growth amount and the best index of seed vigor. The germination rate, germination index and vigor index of seeds were calculated according to a previous study with some modifications (He et al, 2010) and the inhibition rate of root and shoot length was calculated according to the previous research (Wang et al, 2019).…”

Dechlorane Plus (DP) and Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) are the halogenated flame retardant with the highest production volume, cadmium (Cd) is regarded as one of the hazardous heavy metals due to its bio toxicity and bioaccumulation in the environment, and it will cause environmental pollution and affect human health, so a pot experiment was conducted to investigate the phytotoxicity on seed germination and seedling of two rice varieties. The results showed that with the increasing of DP, TBBPA and Cd concentrations in soil, the germination rate, germination index and vigor index of two rice varieties decreased, and the germination of Number 7 rice was affected more than Number 1 rice. Halogenated flame retardants and Cd in soil significantly promoted root activity and proline, and significantly inhibited protein and soluble sugar contents of two rice varieties. In addition, the responses of the two rice varieties seedlings to different pollutants were obviously different. The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in two kinds of rice was improved, and a large amount of malonyldialdehyde (MDA) was induced. But the activity of catalase (CAT) in Number 7 rice was increased under the action of DP and TBBPA, while the activity of Number 1 rice was increased under the action of DP and inhibited under the pollution of TBBPA. Bioaccumulation factors of DP and Cd were 0.025–0.042 and 6.59–14.20, bio transport coefficients were 0.39–0.48 and 0.034–0.087. There was no significant difference in the bioaccumulation of DP in the two rice varieties, but TBBPA and Cd were more easily bio accumulated in the Number 1 rice. These findings would provide some essential information for interpreting the ecological risks of two halogenated flame-retardants and Cd in plants.

“…Therefore, in our study, the urease activity in the samples showed a downward trend with the increase of cultivation year, which was consistent with that of the organic matter content. In addition, both of the organic matter content and the urease activity were the important factors affecting the soil bacterial community structure, in which the urease can convert the urea in soil into the available nitrogen [53] and can catalytic the mineralization of the organic phosphorus [54], provide nutrients for plants. The decline of urease activity not only affected the structure of soil microbial community, but also affected the growth of F. taipaiensis.…”

Fritillaria taipaiensis is a traditional Chinese herbal plant. Germplasm degradation usually appears during its extended years of cultivation. Aiming to explore the mechanisms of the germplasm degradation, the bacterial diversities, bio-chemical characters in the rhizospheric soils of F. taipaiensis with different cultivation years from 1 to 5 were analyzed. The result showed the Chao1 and the ACE indices of the bacterial community had no significant difference among samples while the Shannon and Simpson indices declined with the cuntivation year; the dominant bacteria phylum was Proteobacteria, the remaining phyla were Chloroflexi, Nitrospirae, Planctomycetes, Actinobacteria, Gemmatimonadetes, Firmicutes, Verrucomicrobia, Bacteroidetes, and Acidobacteria; the relative abundances of the dominant bacterial genera changed obviously among samples; the bacterial community structures in the rhizospheric soils with cultivation years of 2 and 4 were significantly different from that in other samples; the content of organic matter, available N, available P, available K and the activities of urease, alkaline phosphatase in samples decreased with the cultivation years; the soil pH increased with the cultivation years to unsuitable for F. taipaiensis growth; the distance-based redundancy analysis showed the pH, organic matter content, available phosphorus content and urease activity were the primary factors in determining bacterial community composition, the intra group beta diversity of the rhizospheric bacteria increased after a initial decline with the cultivation year. These results indicated long term continuous cropping changed the bacterial community structure, fertility condition and soil enzyme activities in the F. taipaiensis rhizosphere soils, which could badly affect its growth.
