英文摘要	Arsenic (As) contamination poses a high risk to human health. Phytoremediation based on As hyperaccumulator Pteris vittata has been utilized on large areas of contaminated farmland in southern China. However, the reason for the observed differences in As removal among P. vittata populations remains unclear. In this study, spores of four P. vittata populations were collected from four neighboring sites with varying soil As concentration (from 108mgkg-1 to 7527mgkg-1) and then cultured in a controlled environment to analyze their differing abilities in terms of As accumulation and tolerance. The results indicate that populations from low-As habitats exhibited 80% greater shoot As concentrations compared with those from high-As habitats. On the other hand, populations from high-As habitats exhibited approximately five times greater biomass compared with those from low-As habitats when exposed to the same As stress. Thus, the As accumulation and tolerance of P. vittata were suggested to be two independent processes. Further investigations reveal that the As absorption and As species conversion occurring in roots are two essential activities that bridge the soil As concentration and the responses of P. vittata to As. Depending on the As concentration of the target soil, the selection of different P. vittata populations can result in approximately an eight-fold difference in terms of remediation efficiency. 2012 Elsevier B.V.
