abstract = {Groundwater contamination by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)
presents a health risk as a potential carcinogen and
pollutant that is capable of depleting the ozone layer.
Although use of poplar trees in a phytoremediation capacity
has proven to be cost effective for cleaning contaminated
sites, minimizing leaf emission of volatile contaminants
remains a pressing issue. We hypothesized that recently
fixed carbon plays a key role in CCl4 metabolism in planta
yielding nonvolatile trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and that the
extent of this metabolism can be altered by heightening
plant defenses. Labeling intact leaves with (11)CO2 (t 1/2
20.4 m) can test this hypothesis, because the extremely
short half-life of the tracer reflects only those processes
involving recently fixed carbon. Using radio-HPLC analysis,
we observed [(11)C]TCA from leaf extract from poplar clones
(OP-367) whose roots were exposed to a saturated solution of
CCl4 (520 ppm). Autoradiography of [(11)C]photosynthate
showed increased leaf export and partitioning to the apex
within 24 h of CCl4 exposure, suggesting that changes in
plant metabolism and partitioning of recently fixed carbon
occur rapidly. Additionally, leaf CCl4 emissions were
highest in the morning, when carbon pools are low,
suggesting a link between contaminant metabolism and leaf
carbon utilization. Further, treatment with methyljasmonate,
a plant hormone implicated in defense signal transduction,
reduced leaf CCl4 emissions two-fold due to the increased
formation of TCA.},
