A pot experiment was conducted in a greenhouse,to study the growth condition,uptake and accumulation characteristics of cadmium by soybean and wheat planted in the soil with cadmium concentration of 0.211~2.011 mg/kg.The results showed that no impact of soil cadmium concentration was found on the plant height and grain numbers of two crops.With soil cadmium concentration increasing,the yield per pot of the two crops rose in the soil of low cadmium concentration,and fell in that of high.It was easier to accumulate cadmium for the soybean seed in the soil cadmium content of 0.211~2.011 mg/kg,and the wheat seed of 1.411~2.011 mg/kg.Adding of cadmium increased the cadmium content of each part of the two crop plants.The translocation factor (TF)of wheat increased due to the adding of cadmium,but that of soybean had no significant change.The bioconcentration factors (BCF)of the two crops were in the following order:root＞stem and leaf＞grain.The cadmium absorption capacity of soybean root and stem was strong,and BCF of them was above 1.0 when the soil cadmium content was less than 0.511 mg/kg.The cadmium absorption capacity of wheat leaf and stem was strong,and BCF of them was above 1.0 when the soil cadmium content was more than 0.811 mg/kg.The BCF of wheat root was above 1.0 and larger than that of soybean.The cadmium absorption and accumulation capacity of wheat was stronger than soybean.
