The cadmium （Cd） contents in rice plants and Cd accumulation in different parts of rice under Cd stress were studied to screen out Cd-highly tolerant and high-yield rice varieties. With different vadeties of japonica and indica rice as the research objects, Cd contents and Cd accumulation of different rice varieties in harvest time were discussed by pot experiment, under two treatments of no adding Cd and Cd stress. Under both the two treatments, the Cd contents in different parts of rice all ranked as root〉stem〉leaf〉husk〉grain, and Cd was manly concentrated in dce roots. Cd accumulation and distribution differed among different rice varieties, especially among grains of different rice varieties. Among the 8 rice varieties, the increase of grain Cd content of Chunyou 84 was the smallest, indicating a weaker Cd accumulation ability. At the same time, the Cd accumulation in japonica rice was higher than that in indica rice under Cd stress. Under Cd stress, the yield of indica rice decreased significantly, while that of japonica rice increased. The lowest grain Cd content of Chunyou 84 indicated significant Cd tolerance. Although its yield was affected, it can still be recommended to be promoted in the Cd-polluted region of Hunan Province, considering the Cd security.
