One of the most important oil crops in the world, sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), is recognized to help in soil phytoremediation. Heavy metal (HM) contamination is one of the most abiotic challenges that may affect the growth and productivity of such an important crop plant. We studied the influence of HM-contaminated soils on metal homeostasis and the potential hypertolerance mechanisms in two sunflower Egyptian cultivars (V120 and S53). Both cultivars accumulated significantly higher cadmium concentrations in their roots compared to their shoots during Cd and Zn/Cd treatments. Higher root concentrations of 121 mg g−1 dry weight (DW) and 125 mg g−1 DW were measured in V120 plants compared to relatively lower values of 111 mg g−1 DW and 105 mg g−1 DW in the roots of S53 plants, respectively. Cadmium contamination significantly upregulated the expression of heavy metal ATPases (HaHMA4) in the shoots of V120 plants. On the other hand, their roots displayed a notable expression of HaHMA3. This study indicates that V120 plants accumulated and sequestered Cd in their roots. Therefore, it is advised to cultivate the V120 cultivar in areas contaminated with heavy metals as it is a promising Cd phytoremediator. The current study confirms and provides new insights into the low Cd and Zn concentration responses of two cultivars of Helianthus annuus as potential HM phytoremediators. HMA3 and HMA4 mediated both root sequestration and reduced root-to-shoot translocation rates. Moreover, high CAT and POX activities may reduce oxidative damage and enhance plant tolerance. The V120 showed higher levels of Cd accumulation in its roots and could be a promising cultivar for the phytoremediation of this heavy metal. This work recalls that Cd tolerance is a trait that may vary among cultivars of the same species and should be taken into consideration in the phytomanagement of heavy metals in contaminated soils.
