Abstract | The role of polysaccharide modification in metal accumulation in hyperaccumulators is still unknown. Our aim was to compare the differences in the role of root cell-wall polysaccharides in cadmium (Cd) accumulation between hyperaccumulating (HE) and non-hyperaccumulating ecotype (NHE) of Sedm alfredii.Hydroponic experiments were performed to characterize root-to-shoot Cd translocation, cadmium species and polysaccharide modification in root cell-wall of S. alfredii using stable isotope tracing, X-ray absorption near edge structure and immunofluorescence localization techniques.Cd absorbed was more readily available for transport to the shoots by the HE roots than by the NHE roots, which is confirmed by a 6-fold higher $^{113}$Cd concentration in xylem sap. Root Cd efflux originated mainly from the cell walls. The concentration of cell-wall polysaccharides and activity of pectin methylesterase were higher in the NHE than in the HE in the absence of Cd, and even higher in the presence of Cd. More pectins were methylated in the HE than in the NHE, indicating more free pectic acid residues in the NHE. The cell-wall-bound Cd was retained more tightly in the NHE than in the HE.Cadmium hyperaccumulation by HE of S. alfredii is associated with its enhanced Cd flux into the xylem, which is partly regulated by cell-wall polysaccharide modification in roots. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
