Atmospheric fine particulate matter (PM) is the main contributor to Pb accumulation in edible Chinese cabbage leaves in North China. PM-Pb primarily enters leaves via stomatal foliar uptake. However, how PM-Pb is transported and stored within the leaf cells of Chinese cabbage remains unclear. Thus, this study mapped Pb, Ca, and Mg distributions in Chinese cabbage leaves following PM-Pb stress using synchrotron and fast micro-X-ray fluorescence. Findings revealed that PM-Pb was transported and localized in guard cells, the epidermal cell wall, and chloroplasts. X-ray absorption near-edge structure revealed that Pb(CO)Pb(OH) in PM was converted to Pb(OH), glutathione-Pb (GSH-Pb), and PbCO in Chinese cabbage leaves. GSH-Pb proportion in the low Pb accumulation (LPA) variety Chinese cabbage leaves was 2.13 times higher than that in the high Pb accumulation (HPA) variety. Glutamate concentration decreased by 44.53% in the LPA variety leaves under PM-Pb stress, increasing GSH-Pb efflux symplasm and reducing Pb accumulation. X-ray fluorescence mapping of Ca and Mg in leaves indicated chlorophyll biosynthesis inhibition in the HPA variety leaves but not in the LPA variety leaves. Pb speciation and distribution vary drastically between the LPA and HPA variety leaves. This study provides guidance for breeding a high-quality LPA variety of Chinese cabbages.

To investigate the remediation effects of various modified biochar materials derived from different impregnation agents on Cd- and Pb-contaminated calcareous soil, nitrogen (N-), phosphorus (P-), sulfur (S-), and iron (Fe-) modified biochar materials (NBC, PBC, SBC, FBC) were fabricated through the impregnation-pyrolysis method and employed to immobilize Pb and Cd in the calcareous soil. The characterization results showed that NBC exhibited an uneven pore size distribution and increased aromaticity, while PBC and SBC had increased pH and ash content. Pot experiments demonstrated significantly different effects of various modified biochar materials on soil immobilization and plant uptake of Cd and Pb.

Article Synopsis
- Chinese cabbage is a key vegetable in southern China, but excess nitrogen fertilizers cause high nitrate levels, reducing nutritional value; therefore, breeding for better nitrogen utilization and lower nitrate accumulation is crucial.
- Ammonium transporter 1;2 (BcAMT1;2) enhances growth and decreases nitrate content in flowering Chinese cabbage but the mechanisms behind its effects are still unclear.
- Interaction studies show that BcLBD41 and BcMAMYB proteins influence BcAMT1;2 activity, affecting nitrogen metabolism and plant growth under varying nitrogen conditions.
