Cadmium (Cd) concentration in eggplant (Solanum melongena) fruits can be drastically reduced by grafting them with Solanum torvum rootstock. We thus examined the characteristics of Cd absorption in roots and Cd translocation from roots to shoots between S. melongena and S. torvum over 7 days using a hydroponic culture. Although there is no significant difference in Cd concentration in the roots of S. melongena and S. torvum, Cd concentration in the shoots and xylem sap was higher in S. melongena than in S. torvum. By evaluating symplastic Cd absorption in roots, using enriched isotopes (113)Cd and (114)Cd. and measuring the kinetics in xylem loading, we characterized Cd absorption and translocation for S. torvum (low Cd translocation) and S. melongena (high Cd translocation). A concentration-dependent study in roots indicated that K(m) values were almost the same for species, but the V(max) value was 1.5-fold higher in S. melongena than in S. torvum. A concentration-dependent Study in xylem loading indicated that V(max) was almost the same, but K(m) values were approximately 7-fold higher in S. torvum compared to S. melongena. These results, together, suggest that the affinity for Cd in the xylem loading process is a critical factor for determining the different Cd concentrations in the shoots between both plants under low Cd concentration conditions. In addition, a metabolic inhibitor, carbonyl cyanide-m-chloro-phenyl-hydrazone (CCCP) inhibited Cd absorption and translocation from roots to shoots in both plants. This suggests that Cd absorption in roots and Cd translocation from roots to shoots via the xylem loading process, under low Cd concentration conditions, are partly mediated by an active energy-dependent process in both plants.
