The invention relates to a
plant restoration technology, and particularly discloses a method for screening
manganese /
cadmium absorption efficient ecological phytolacca americana. The method comprises the following steps: collecting in the wild leaves and seeds of phytolacca americana populations in a plurality of contaminated regions and uncontaminated regions in China and soil in the vicinity; detecting the
manganese /
cadmium content of the soil in the vicinity of the phytolacca americana populations in the regions, and selecting phytolacca americana populations in highly
manganese contaminated, highly
cadmium contaminated and uncontaminated regions respectively; performing AFLP (
amplified fragment length polymorphism)
molecular marker detection on the leaves of the selected phytolacca americana populations, and analyzing genetic structures thereof; selecting bred seedlings of the phytolacca americana populations to which different
genetic differentiation occurs, culturing the seedlings for 50 days with manganese, cadmium and normal Hoagland solutions, and screening the manganese / cadmium absorption efficient ecological phytolacca americana by adopting the
plant heights, fresh weights and leaf manganese / cadmium content of the phytolacca americana as indexes. According to the method, a manganese / cadmium absorption efficient ecological
hyperaccumulator is used for treating manganese / cadmium-contaminated soil, and the heavy
metal accumulation and restoration efficiency of the
hyperaccumulator are improved.
