Abstract: The rapid industrialization causes the large areas of heavy metal contaminated soils, which has become a threat to the local ecosystems. Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal which has aroused great concerns in the environmental science community, because of its toxicity to animals and humans. Screening and breeding high cadmium tolerant ramie genotype is one of the effective alternatives to utilize the cadmium contaminated soil, since ramie could minimize the potential hazard of bringing toxic metals into food chains.In this study, a hydroponic culture experiment and a field micro-plot trial were carried out tocompare nine ramie genotypes and their respective screening indices for Cd tolerance. In the hydroponic culture experiment, substantial differences and significant genotypic variations in plant height, leaf number per plant, shoot dry weight and root dry weight were found in different Cd treatments. The shoot dry weight well correlated with plant height, SPAD of leaf and root dry weight. In the field trial, the shoot dry weight well correlated with plant weight, diameter of stem and thickness of bark. This suggests that these characteristics could be used as Cd tolerance indicators. Cluster analysis using comprehensive Cd tolerance characteristics as evaluation parameters indicated that nine genotypes were divided into three categories. These results suggested that it would probably be an effective method to use the plant height, SPAD of leaf, shoot dry weight and root dry weight in ramie hydroponic culture experiment with different Cd treatments as selection indicators.
