The effect of varying solution calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) concentrations in the absence or presence of 10 μM aluminum (Al) was investigated in several experiments using a low ionic strength (2.7 × 10‐3 M) solution culture technique. Aluminium‐tolerant and Al‐sensitive lines of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were grown. In the absence of Al, top yields decreased when solution Ca concentrations were <50 μM or plant Ca concentrations were <2.0 mg/g. Top and root yields decreased when solution Mg concentrations were <50 μM or plant Mg concentrations were <1.5 mg/g. There were no differences between the lines in solution or plant concentrations at which yield declined. Increasing solution Ca concentrations decreased plant Mg concentrations in the tops (competitive ion effect) but increased plant Mg concentrations in the roots of wheat. This suggests that Ca is competing with Mg when Mg is transported from the roots. Increasing solution Mg concentrations decreased plant Ca concentrations in the tops and the roots (competitive ion effect). In the roots, increasing solution Mg concentrations decreased plant Ca concentrations at a lower solution Ca concentration in the Al‐sensitive line than the Al‐tolerant line. In the presence of Al, increasing solution Ca and Mg concentrations increased yield (Ca and Mg ameliorating Al toxicity). Yield increased until the sum of the solution concentrations of the divalent cations (Ca+Mg) was 2,000 μM for the Al‐tolerant line or 4,000 μM for the Al‐sensitive line. The exception was that yield decreased when solution Mg concentrations were > 1,500 μM and the solution Ca concentration was 100 μM (Mg exacerbating Al toxicity). The ameliorative effects of solution Ca or Mg on Al tolerance were not related to plant Ca or Mg concentrations per se.  相似文献

The objective of this study was to examine whether aluminium (Al) induces callose formation in roots of Norway spruce as it does in soybean. Spruce seedlings were grown in Al-free nutrient solution under controlled conditions in a growth chamber at pH 3.8. After 21 days 170 μM Al was added or not (controls) to the complete nutrient solution (molar Ca/Al ratio: 0.75). Callose could be detected in outer root-tip cells of Al-treated plants within 3 h, using fluorescence microscopy after staining with aniline blue. Prolonged Al treatment up to 24 h increased both the density of the callose deposits and the number of affected cell layers. Control plants showed no comparable callose deposits. Ultrastructural examinations showed cell-wall appositions in Al-treated root cells but not in controls. The possible implications of Al-induced callose formation for nutrient and water uptake by roots are discussed.  相似文献

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) proved to be very sensitive of low pH (4.3), with large genotypic differences in proton sensitivity. Therefore, proton toxicity did not allow the screening of common bean genotypes for aluminium (Al) resistance using the established protocol for maize (0.5 mM CaCl2, 8 μM H3BO3, pH 4.3). Increasing the pH to 4.5, the Ca2+ concentration to 5 mM, and addition of 0.5 mM KCl fully prevented proton toxicity in 28 tested genotypes and allowed to identify differences in Al resistance using the inhibition of root elongation by 20 μM Al supply for 36 h as parameter of Al injury. As in maize, Al treatment induced callose formation in root apices of common bean. Aluminium‐induced callose formation well reflected the effect of Ca supply on Al sensitivity as revealed by root‐growth inhibition. Aluminum‐induced callose formation in root apices of 28 bean genotypes differing in Al resistance after 36 h Al treatment was positively correlated to Al‐induced inhibition of root elongation and Al contents in the root apices. However, the relationship was less close than previously reported for maize. Also, after 12 h Al treatment, callose formation and Al contents in root apices did not reflect differences in Al resistance between two contrasting genotypes, indicating a different mode of the expression of Al toxicity and regulation of Al resistance in common bean than in maize.  相似文献

Seedlings of Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst.), which had been grown under sterile conditions for three months, were treated for one week in a hydroculture system with either 500 μM AlCl3 or 750 μM CaCl2 solutions at pH 4. Organic acids were determined in hot‐water extracts of ground root tissue. Oxalate (3.3—6.6 μmol (g root dry weight)—1) was most abundant. Malate, citrate, formate, acetate, and lactate concentrations ranged between 1—2 μmol (g root dry weight)—1. Organic substances and phosphate found in the treatment solutions at the end of the experimental period were considered to be root exudates. Total root exudation within a 2‐day period ranged from 20—40 μmol C (g root weight)—1. In root exudates, organic acids, and total carbohydrates, total amino acids, and total phenolic substances were quantified. Citrate and malate, although present in hot‐water extracts of root tissue, were not detected in root exudates. Phosphate was released from Ca‐treated plants. In Al treatments, there was indication of Al phosphate precipitation at the root surface. Oxalate and phenolics present in the exudates of Norway spruce seedlings are ligands that can form stable complexes with Al. However, concentrations of these substances in the treatment solutions were at micromolar levels. Their importance for the protection of the sensitive root apex under natural conditions is discussed.  相似文献

Abstract

Effects of varying additions of phosphorus (0, 0.8, 8 and 80 μM P) on the concentrations of total and monomeric aluminum (Al) and on calculated sum of activities of monomeric Al species (SaAl mono) were investigated during 21 d of aging in deionised water containing 40 μM Al with either 0 or 1500 μM calcium (Ca). These P and Ca treatments were also maintained in deionised water without the addition of Al. The concentrations of total and monomeric Al decreased with an increase in P additions at the 8 and 80 μM P although the effect was negligible at the 0.8 μM P. The effects of increase in P additions on the monomeric Al were almost instant as evident from 12 to 49 percent decrease in its concentration after only an hour of aging. However, marked effects of P on the total Al were observed after 3 d of aging. On 21 d of aging in solutions with 8 and 80 pH P, the concentrations of total and monomeric Al decreased by 17 to 34 percent and 20 to 60 percent, respectively. The presence of Ca had negligible effects on the concentrations of either total or monomeric Al at the varying P additions. However, the calculated SaAl mono for a given P concentration treatment over Al mono 21 d of aging were considerably lower in solutions with 1500 μM Ca than with 0 Ca. At each P concentration treatment, SaAl mono were considerably lower than the concentration of monomeric Al in solutions with 1500 μM Ca, while in solutions with 0 Ca the above difference was negligible. During the 21 d of aging, in solutions containing 40 μM Al, the measured P concentrations in the 0.8, 8 and 80 μM nominal P concentration treatments decreased by 44, 37, and 19 percent respectively, at the 0 Ca treatments and 50, 56 and 24 percent respectively, at the 1500 μM Ca treatments.  相似文献

Soil acidity is often associated with toxic aluminum (Al), and mineral uptake usually decreases in plants grown with excess Al. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Al (0, 35, 70, and 105 μM) on Al, phsophorus (P), sulfur (S), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn,) and copper (Cu) uptake in shoots and roots of sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench, cv. SC283] colonized with the vesicular‐arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi isolates Glomus intraradices UT143–2 (UT143) and Glomus etunicatum UT316A‐2 (UT316) and grown in sand (pH 4.8). Mycorrhizal (+VAM) plants had higher shoot and root dry matter (DM) than nonmycorrhizal (‐VAM) plants. The VAM treatment had significant effects on shoot concentrations of P, K, Ca, Fe, Mn, and Zn; shoot contents of P, S, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu; root concentrations of P, S, K, Ca, Mn, Zn, and Cu; and root contents of Al, P, S, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu. The VAM effects on nutrient concentrations and contents and DM generally followed the sequence of UT316 > UT143 > ‐VAM. The VAM isolate UT143 particularly enhanced Zn uptake, and both VAM isolates enhanced uptake of P and Cu in shoots and roots, and various other nutrients in shoots or roots.  相似文献

铝胁迫对不同耐铝小麦品种根伸长生长影响的研究   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
为探讨铝胁迫抑制根生长的机理,以耐铝型小麦品种ET8和铝敏感型ES8为试验材料,研究了铝胁迫对小麦根相对伸长率,根尖细胞显微结构的影响以及细胞壁木质素含量及苯丙氨酸解氨酶(PAL)、肉桂醇脱氢酶(CAD)、过氧化物酶(POD)活性的变化。结果表明,ET8和ES8经50μmol/L铝胁迫6、122、4 h后,根相对伸长率随铝胁迫时间延长而变小。利用植物显微技术发现,ET8和ES8经50μmol/L胁迫24 h后,根尖伸长区皮层细胞变扁平,细胞间隙变小,细胞壁褶皱,并呈齿轮状交合;ES8细胞受伤害程度较ET8显著。经50μmol/L铝胁迫6、12、24 h后,ET8和ES8根尖细胞长度受铝胁迫的程度随时间延长而加强,根尖细胞相对长度与根相对伸长率呈显著正相关的关系(r=0.9911**)。50μmol/L铝胁迫24 h后,ET8和ES8根尖苯丙氨酸解氨酶(PAL)、肉桂醇脱氢酶(CAD)、过氧化物酶(POD)活性及细胞壁木质素合成显著增加。上述结果表明,铝胁迫通过增加苯丙氨酸解氨酶、肉桂醇脱氢酶、过氧化物酶活性,促进根尖细胞壁木质素合成,加快细胞的木质化,细胞壁延展性变小,从而抑制细胞的伸长,减小根的生长。由于铝胁迫下ES8中木质素合成显著高于ET8,且根尖细胞结构受破坏较ET8显著,造成铝胁迫下ES8根生长受抑制比ET8显著,是ET8较ES8耐铝胁迫的主要原因。  相似文献

Aluminum (Al) and cadmium (Cd) are two elements that contaminate soil in different ways as waste products of some industrial processes and that can be tolerated by some plant species in different concentrations. In this study, growth parameters of leaves and stems (fresh and dry weights, stem lengths, leaf surface area, and lamina thickness), anatomical changes in leaves (lower and upper epidermis, stomata and mesophyll tissue), and photosynthetic pigment contents (chlorophyll a and b, total chlorophyll, and carotenoids) were investigated in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv. Nazilli 84S), which was treated with Al and Cd for 3 months. Cotton seedlings were grown in greenhouse conditions and watered with Hoagland nutrient solutions, which contained 0, 100, and 200 μM aluminum chloride (AlCl3) and cadmium chloride (CdCl2). It was observed that reduced soil pH positively affected many parameters in cotton plants. Aluminum accumulation was greater in leaves than stems while the opposite was true for Cd accumulation. Leaves and stems of cotton plants treated with 100 and 200 μM Al and Cd showed slight growth changes; however, high concentrations of Al (200 μM) caused significant reductions in leaf area and leaf fresh weight, whereas stem fresh weight decreased with 200 μM Cd treatment. Anatomical parameters were mostly affected significantly under both concentrations of Al and Cd solutions (100 and 200 μM). The results revealed that the anatomical changes in the leaves varied in both treatments, and the long-term effect of the tested metals did not include harmful effects on anatomical structures. Moreover, the variations could be signals of tolerance or adaptive mechanisms of the leaves under the determined concentrations.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

Calcium (Ca) deficiency is an important problem in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) production, with lines from the sub-species A. hypogaea hypogaea (Virginia type) being considered more susceptible to Ca deficiency than those of A. hypogaea fastigata (Spanish and Valencia types). Fifteen peanut lines comprising five Virginia bunch, one Virginia runner, six Spanish, two Valencia types, and one Valencia × Spanish cross were grown for 30 d in continuously flowing solution culture at constant external Ca concentrations ranging from 9 to 2500 μM. Two lines required <9 μM Ca for near-maximum growth, whereas 5 lines required 15–20 μM, six lines required 25–50 μM, and two lines required >75 μM Ca for maximum growth. The Ca concentration in the youngest fully expanded leaves required for maximum growth also differed considerably among the lines, ranging from <5.7 g kg?1 in ‘SH-2’ to 17.3 g kg?1 in ‘Red Spanish’). The differences in solution and tissue Ca requirement for growth did not coincide with the broad botanical groupings despite that Virginia type peanut lines had consistently lower Ca concentrations in youngest fully expanded leaves than Spanish or Valencia lines at all solution Ca concentrations. Leaf magnesium (Mg), potassium (K), phosphorus (P), iron (Fe), and manganese (Mn) concentrations in the leaves decreased as the solution Ca concentration increased and it seemed probable that growth reductions observed at above-optimum Ca concentrations were due to induced deficiencies of P, Mg, or possibly Fe.  相似文献

Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of vesicular‐arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungus Glomus etunicatum on growth, absorption, and distribution of calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P), and aluminum (Al) in one Al‐tolerant and one Al‐sensitive barley cultivar. The plants were grown in sand daily irrigated with nutrient solution containing 0 or 600 μM Al at pH 4.8. Significant interaction (P=0.05) among variety, mycorrhiza, and aluminum (VxMxAl) were noted for both shoot and root dry matter (DM); shoot concentration and content of Al, P, Ca, and Mg; root concentration of Al, P, and Mg; and root content of Al, P, Ca, and Mg. With VAM inoculation: i) root colonization degree was about 50% in all treatment, ii) shoot DM yield increased between 30 and 70%, iii) Al concentration and content decrease down to a half both in shoots and roots of sensitive barley, iv) Ca concentration in shoots of sensitive barley showed a high increase at 600 μM Al, and v) P concentration and content in shoots of both varieties increased significantly.  相似文献

Effects of Al, Ca, Mg, and Si on the growth and mineral accumulation of M. malabathricum (Melastoma malabathricum L.), which is an Al accumulator plant, were investigated using the water culture method. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) were used as control plants. After Al application, growth was inhibited in barley, but stimulated in M. malabathricum and rice. The growth of M. malabathricum was not reduced by very low Ca and Mg concentrations (0.1 mm Ca and 0.05 mm Mg). However, it was depressed in the absence of Ca. Ca and Mg contents somewhat decreased by Al application, which was most evident in young leaves and roots. M. malabathricum accumulated more than 10,000 mg kg-1 Al in mature leaves, and more than 7,000 mg kg-1 even in the youngest leaf. Al content in leaves of M. malabathricum did not decrease by the Ca or Mg application, but slightly decreased by in the absence of Ca.

Although Si is a strong ligand of Al in solution, in M. malabathricum, Si application hardly affected the growth, Al accumulation and nutrient uptake.  相似文献

Distribution of aluminum (Al) within plant components and Al-induced changes in cell wall polysaccharides in root tips of Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh. seedlings were compared with those of Melaleuca cajuputi Powell. In E. camaldulensis, 0.5 mM Al (pH 4.2 for 40 d) reduced plant dry weight by 50%, increased callose concentration in the root tips and induced leaf necrosis. In comparison with M. cajuputi, Al concentrations were higher in roots and leaves of E. camaldulensis on both a fresh weight basis and in the cell sap, but were lower in the cell wall. Al increased pectin, hemicellulose and cellulose concentration in the cell walls of E. camaldulensis root tips. Al-induced leaf necrosis and growth reduction in E. camaldulensis is discussed in the context of potentially toxic concentrations of Al in plant tissue and changes in polysaccharide content which could reduce water and nutrient uptake and cell wall extensibility in roots.  相似文献

Little is known about the primary effects of aluminum (Al) in reducing root growth. However, the sorption of Al by the root cell wall, particularly by calcium (Ca) pectate, has been suggested as being important in the expression of Al toxicity in plants. To overcome problems arising from the close proximity of root cell components that may react with Al, a synthetic Ca pectate membrane was prepared as a model system for Al studies. Solution containing 1 mM Ca (as CaCl2) was passed through the membrane, and the flow rate measured. Solution containing 29 μM Al (as AlCl3) and 1 mM Ca reduced solution flow rate by > 80% from c. 3.5 to c. 0.6 mL/min within 2 min, with a further slight decline over the next 4 min. The Al concentration in solution proximate to the inlet side of the membrane decreased to 15 μM within 10 min, and only 3 μM Al was measured in solution that had passed through the membrane. These results suggest that an important primary effect of toxic Al is a reduction in water movement into the root, with consequent effects on water relations in the plant.  相似文献

Abstract

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is extremely sensitive to Al toxicity. Increasing Si concentration in solution has been reported to alleviate AI toxicity. In this investigation the effects of varying Si concentrations (700, 1400, and 2800 μM Si) on reactive Al (defined as Al reactive with aluminon during 10‐s reaction time, without acidification and heating) was studied in solutions containing either 50, 100 or 200 μM Al during 50 d of aging. An increase in Si concentration had negligible effects on the reactive Al in solutions with 50 or 100 μM Al. However, in solutions with 200 μM Al the reactive Al decreased by 6 to 15% with an increase in Si concentration from 0 to 2800 μM.

The effects of either 700, 1400 or 2800 μM Si on root growth of Coker 208, Coker 315, DPL 90, McNair 235, Stoneville 506 and Tifcot 56 cotton cultivars were investigated in solutions containing either 0, 10, 20 or 40 μM Al with 500 μM Ca at pH 4.5. In solutions containing no Al, addition of 700 μM Si improved root growth by 69–87% in Coker 315, DPL 90 and McNair 235 cultivars but not in the other cultivars. In solutions containing 10 μM Al, an increase in Si concentration from 0 to 2800 μM improved the root growth by 15–17% in DPL 90 and McNair 235 cultivars only. An increase in Si additions failed to improve root growth of any of the cultivars in solutions with 20 or 40 μM Al.  相似文献

Boron (B) amelioration of aluminum (Al) toxicity was studied for growth of mungbean (Phaseolus aureus Roxb.) seedlings and cuttings (without roots) in a growth chamber. Mungbean seedlings and cuttings were grown in the solution with combinations of three concentrations of B (0,5, and 50 μM) and three concentrations of Al (0, 2, and 5 mM) in randomized complete block design experiments for 16 days. Results showed that B significantly promoted elongation of epicotyls and hypocotyls, and increased height of seedlings grown under Al stress. Boron also increased fresh weight of seedlings in high Al solution. Treatment of plants grown with high B and Al stress had no apparent effect on fresh and dry weights of seedling roots. Seedling dry weight increased significantly by adding high B to solutions with 2 mM or 5 mM Al. No significant differences were observed between the high B treatment and the control (normal B, 5 μM) in lengths of epicotyls and fresh and dry weights of mungbean cuttings grown under Al stress. High concentrations of B decreased soluble protein and increased chlorophyll in seedlings treated with 2 mM Al. Boron had no amelioration effect on cuttings grown with Al, although Al increased soluble protein. Our results suggested that B alleviation of Al toxicity was related to root function and Al toxicity may possibly be due, in part, to B deficiency.  相似文献

Effects of calcium (1, 2 and 5 mM) and aluminum (0, 15 and 45 μM) on growth and internal nutrient concentrations were examined with 12 sorghum genotypes (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) in a nutrient solution experiment with a factorial design. At 1 (or 2) mM Ca the severity of root damage induced by Al well reflected the genotypical variation in growth response to Al toxicity. Severity of Al‐induced root damage slightly decreased with increasing Ca level. Moreover, Ca at 5 mM amplified the Mg deficiency induced by Al, as seen from both heavier deficiency symptoms and lower internal Mg concentrations. Under conditions of Al stress at a high Ca supply, induced Mg deficiency apparently predominated the genotypical differentiation in growth response to Al toxicity. An antagonism between Al‐ and Ca ions for uptake was hardly found with the sorghum genotypes. However, the genotypes differed in Ca efficiency, a characteristic which may be relevant in assessing their sensitivity to Mg deficiency.  相似文献

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr. cv. ‘Ransom'] root elongation under varying concentrations of solution hydrogen (H) and aluminum (Al) was investigated in a vertical split‐root system. Roots extending from a limed and fertilized soil compartment grew for 12 days into a subsurface compartment with solutions adjusted to either different pH values from 3.7 to 5.5 or a factorial combination of pH (4.0,4.6, and 5.2) and Al (0,7.5, 15, and 30 μM) levels. Ionic forms of Al were estimated with GEOCHEM and solution Al was determined with ferron. Boron (B) (18.5 μM) and zinc (Zn) (0.5 μM) were supplied to all solution treatments, in addition to 2000 μM Ca, after preliminary studies at pH 5.2 without Al indicated that their omission inhibited length of tap roots and their laterals in the subsurface compartment. Both H+ and Al inhibited the length of lateral roots more than tap roots. Lateral roots failed to develop on tap roots at pH<4.3 or in treatments with 30 μM Al. Relative tap root length (RRL) among treatments receiving Al correlated with Al as measured by reaction with ferron for 30s. Ferron‐reactive Al was correlated to GEOCHEM‐predicted Al3+ activity (r=0.99). A 50% reduction in RRL occurred with either 2.1 μM Al3+ activity or 4.9 uM ferron‐reactive Al. The absence of shoot and soil‐root biomass differences among solution treatments in the split‐root system indicated that differences in root growth in the subsurface compartment were not directly confounded with differences in top growth.  相似文献

The responses of six strains of R. trifolii to pH, Ca, Al and phosphate were studied in the defined medium of Munns and Keyser (1981) supplemented with vitamins. Wild-type strains responded in the same way as rifampicin-resistant mutant strains. Multiplication was inhibited by acidity alone at pH4.3, and by 50 μM Al at pH 5.5 (despite the precipitation of Al). This inhibitory effect of Al was overcome by increasing the pH above 6.0, or by increasing the phosphate concentration from 10 to 100 μm. Ca concentration had no effect, nor did holding the medium at 22°C for 36 weeks before inoculation. There was variation between strains in their responses to concentrations of A1 < 50 μM. These responses indicate that the defined medium is a satisfactory model for the white clover rhizosphere.Results from these studies and from chemical analyses indicate that the inhibitory effect of Al under partially-neutralized conditions is not due to a direct effect of monomeric A1, nor to an indirect effect of polymeric A1 in reducing the concentration of phosphate, but is due to a direct effect of polymeric A1.  相似文献

Alleviation by calcium (Ca) of inhibition of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr. cv. ‘Ransom'] root elongation by hydrogen (H) and aluminum (Al) was evaluated in a vertical split‐root system. Roots extending from a limed and fertilized soil compartment grew for 12 days into a subsurface compartment containing nutrient solution with treatments consisting of factorial combinations of either pH (4.0, 4.6, and 5.5) and Ca (0.2, 2.0, 10, and 20 mM), Al (7.5, 15, and 30 μM) and Ca (2.0,10, and 20 mM) at pH 4.6, or Ca (2, 7, and 12 mM) levels and counter ions (SO4 and Cl) at pH 4.6 and 15 μM Al. Length of tap roots and their laterals increased with solution Ca concentration and pH value, but decreased with increasing Al level. Length of both tap and lateral roots were greater when Ca was supplied as CaSO4 than as CaCl2, but increasing Ca concentration from 2 to 12 mM had a greater effect on alleviating Al toxicity than Ca source. In the absence of Al, relative root length (RRL) of tap and lateral roots among pH and Ca treatments was related to the Ca:H molar activity ratio of solutions (R2≥0.82). Tap and lateral RRL among solutions with variable concentrations of Al and Ca at pH 4.6 were related to both the sum of the predicted activities of monomeric Al (R2≥0.92) and a log‐transformed and valence‐weighted balance between activities of Ca and selected monomeric Al species (R2≥0.95). In solutions with 15 μM Al at pH 4.6, response of tap and lateral RRL to variable concentrations of CaSO4 and CaCl2 were related to predicted molar activity ratios of both Ca:Al3+ (R2≥0.89) and Ca:3 monomeric Al (R2≥0.90), provided that AISO4 and AI(SO4)2 species were excluded from the latter index. In all experiments H and Al inhibited length of lateral roots more than tap roots, and a greater Ca:H or Ca:Al concentration ratio was required in solutions to achieve similar RRL values as tap roots.  相似文献
