Salix alba L. and Populus×euroamericana cv. Robusta cuttings were grown in 10 μM Cd(NO3)2 (direct treatment) or in Knop solution and afterwards in Cd(NO3)2 (indirect treatment). Cd impact on rooting of directly treated plants and its impact on normally formed roots and shoots of indirectly treated plants were studied. The cumulative length, number and biomass of willow roots, pigment and starch contents, leaf net photosynthetic rate and dry mass/leaf area ratio of willow leaves were positively influenced by indirect treatment. However, indirectly treated poplars were more sensitive to Cd than directly treated ones. Indirect treatment lowered root Cd uptake in willow, Cd accumulation in cuttings of both species and Cd accumulation in poplar shoots. Cd-caused structural changes were similar in both species and in both treatments. Root apices, rhizodermis and cortex were the most seriously damaged root parts. In directly treated willow, the structure of central cylinder (0.5 - 1 cm from apex) remained unchanged in contrast to indirectly treated plants. Formation of cambium close to the apex indicated shortening of root elongation zone of indirectly treated plants. Directly Cd-treated poplar roots exhibited unusual defence activity of root apical meristem and accumulation of darkly stained material around central cylinder.
