Pfaffia glomerata (Spreng.) Pedersen plantlets were grown under different cadmium (Cd) concentrations (0, 20, 40, 60 and 80 &#956;M) in a hydroponic system during 7 d. Plant growth, micronutrient, chlorophyll and carotenoid concentrations, as well as &#948;-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALA-D; E.C.4.2.1.24) and acid phosphatase (AP; E.C.3.1.3.2) activities were then analysed. Cadmium concentration in both shoots and roots increased with increasing external Cd levels. Metal concentration was on average 12-fold greater in root than in shoot tissues. Root length was unaffected by Cd treatments. In contrast, dry weight of both shoot and roots increased significantly upon addition of 20 and 40 &#956;M Cd. Moreover, shoot and total plant dry weight was only reduced in plants treated with 80 &#956;M Cd. Conversely, root dry weight decreased significantly upon addition of Cd concentrations above 40 &#956;M. A micronutrient- and organ-dependent response to Cd toxicity was observed. Zinc and Cu concentrations in both shoot and roots did not alter upon treatment with Cd. Cadmium stress reduced Mn uptake but not its translocation within the plant. A synergistic effect of Cd on Fe concentration in root at 20 &#956;M and 80 &#956;M Cd levels was observed. The activity of AP, and especially that of ALA-D, was reduced with increasing Cd levels. At those these Cd levels, chlorophyll concentration was also reduced. There was a positive correlation between concentrations of carotenoids and chlorophylls. Our results indicate that P. glomerata seems to have some degree of Cd tolerance. Plântulas de Pfaffia glomerata (Spreng.) Pedersen foram cultivadas em cinco níveis (0, 20, 40, 60 e 80 &#956;M) de cádmio (Cd) em um sistema hidropônico durante 7 d, visando-se analisar o crescimento, as concentrações de micronutrientes, clorofilas e carotenóides, bem como as atividades da desidratase do ácido &#948;-aminolevulínico (ALA-D; E.C.4.2.1.24) e fosfatase ácida (AP; E.C.3.1.3.2) nas plantas. A concentração de Cd, na parte aérea e raízes, aumentou com o incremento dos níveis de Cd. A concentração de Cd nas raízes foi, em média, 12 vezes maior do que na parte aérea. O comprimento das raízes não foi afetado pelos tratamentos de Cd. Em contraste, a biomassa seca da parte aérea e raízes aumentou significativamente pela adição de 20 e 40 &#956;M Cd. Além disso, a biomassa seca total das plantas somente diminuiu no nível de 80 &#956;M Cd em relação à das plantas-controle. Por outro lado, a biomassa radicular diminuiu significativamente pela adição de Cd a níveis superiores a 40 &#956;M. Constatou-se resposta dependente do órgão e do micronutriente à toxicidade de Cd. As concentrações de Zn e Cu na parte aérea e raízes não foram alteradas pela presença de Cd. A absorção de Mn foi diminuída pelo estresse de Cd, porém sua translocação não foi alterada. Um efeito sinergístico do Cd na concentração de Fe nas raízes foi observado nos níveis de 20 e 80 &#956;M Cd. As atividades da ALA-D e AP foram diminuídas com o incremento dos níveis de Cd, porém a ALA-D foi mais afetada. Naquelas concentrações de Cd, a concentração de clorofila também foi diminuída. Houve uma correlação positiva entre as concentrações de carotenóides e clorofila. Os resultados indicam que a P. glomerata parece ter algum grau de tolerância ao Cd
