description | The distribution of metallic ions in plant tissues is associated with their toxicity and is important for understanding mechanisms of toxicity tolerance. A quantitative histochemical method can help advance knowledge of cellular and subcellular localization and distribution of heavy metals in plant tissues. An immunohistochemical (IHC) imaging method for cadmium ions (Cd(2+)) was developed for the first time for the wheat Triticum aestivum grown in Cd(2+)-fortified soils. Also, 1-(4-Isothiocyanobenzyl)-ethylenediamine-N,N,N,N-tetraacetic acid (ITCB-EDTA) was used to chelate the mobile Cd(2+). The ITCB-EDTA/Cd(2+) complex was fixed with proteins in situ via the isothiocyano group. A new Cd(2+)-EDTA specific monoclonal antibody, 4F3B6D9A1, was used to locate the Cd(2+)-EDTA protein complex. After staining, the fluorescence intensities of sections of Cd(2+)-positive roots were compared with those of Cd(2+)-negative roots under a laser confocal scanning microscope, and the location of colloidal gold particles was determined with a transmission electron microscope. The results enable quantification of the Cd(2+) content in plant tissues and illustrate Cd(2+) translocation and cellular and subcellular responses of T. aestivum to Cd(2+) stress. Compared to the conventional metal-S coprecipitation histochemical method, this new IHC method is quantitative, more specific and has less background interference. The subcellular location of Cd(2+) was also confirmed with energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis. The IHC method is suitable for locating and quantifying Cd(2+) in plant tissues and can be extended to other heavy metallic ions. |
