This work was designed to understand the mechanisms of adsorption of copper (Cu) and cadmium (Cd) on roots of  indica  and  japonica  varieties of rice. Six varieties each of  indica  and  japonica  rice were grown in hydroponics and the chemical properties of the root surface were analyzed, including surface charges and functional groups (-COO- groups) as measured by the streaming potential and attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). Binding forms of heavy metals adsorbed on rice roots were identified using sequential extraction methods. In rice roots exposed to Cu and Cd solutions, Cu existed mainly in both exchangeable and complexed forms, whereas Cd existed mainly in the exchangeable form. The amounts of exchangeable Cu and Cd and total adsorbed metal cations on the roots of  indica  varieties were significantly greater than those on the roots of  japonica  varieties, and the higher negative charges and the larger number of functional groups on the roots of  indica  varieties were responsible for their higher adsorption capacity and greater binding strength for Cu and Cd. Surface charge and functional groups on roots play an important role in the adsorption of Cu and Cd on the rice roots.
