Abstract: Two kinds of tall fescue(Festuca arundinacea) from Canada were used as materials to study and compare the effects of different concentrations of cadmium (Cd2+) on lipid peroxidation, protective enzyme activity and osmotic regulators of two kinds of tall fescue in greenhouse. The results showed that, under different concentrations of Cd2+ stress, turf-type tall fescue cultivar showed lower lipid peroxidation level, stronger antioxidant protective enzyme activity and more adaptive osmotic regulation level than slope-protected tall fescue cultivar. It was concluded that, turf-type tall fescue cultivar had better adaptability to Cd2+ stress and stronger ability to repair the soil polluted by heavy metals.

Key words: tall fescue(Festuca arundinacea), cadmium, lipid peroxidation, anti-oxidative enzyme, osmotic substance
