[Effects of IAA on physiological response to aluminum stress and DNA damage of ].

To investigate the physiological response of IAA (indoleacetic acid) to under aluminum stress and the mitigation of DNA damage, the effects of IAA (0, 10, 25, 50, 75 μmol·L denoted by I, I, I, I and I, respectively) on antioxidant enzyme activity, malondialdehyde (MDA), photosynthetic characteristics, root activity, chlorophyll content and DNA damage of two varieties of under 300 and 800 μmol·L aluminum environment (denoted by Al and Al, respectively) were examined in hydroponic culture experiments with Hebei Anguo (aluminium tolerant variety) and Zhejiang Puyang (aluminum sensitive variety). The results showed that the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT), photosynthesis ability, and root activity of both varieties were inhibited to different degrees by aluminum stress, MDA content was significantly increased, and DNA damage was aggravated. The maximum increase of SOD, CAT and POD activities in Anguo and Puyang under aluminum stress by IAA application were 15.

Response and tolerance of root border cells to aluminum toxicity in soybean seedlings.

Root border cells (RBCs) and their secreted mucilage are suggested to participate in the resistance against toxic metal cations, including aluminum (Al), in the rhizosphere. However, the mechanisms by which the individual cell populations respond to Al and their role in Al resistance still remain unclear. In this research, the response and tolerance of RBCs to Al toxicity were investigated in the root tips of two soybean cultivars [Zhechun No.

Developmental characteristics and aluminum resistance of root border cells in rice seedlings.

The developmental characteristics of root border cells (RBCs) and their role in protection of root apices of rice seedling from Al toxicity were evaluated in two rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars differing in Al tolerance. Root elongation and RBCs viability were used as indicators for Al effects.

[Analysis and comparison of trace elements of herba euphorbiae humifusae in different periods by microwave digestion-atomic absorption spectroscopy].

Herba euphorbiae humifusae is the dried whole plant of Euphorbia humi fusa Willd. that belongs to euphorbiaceae. In the present paper, the microwave digestion procedure was used to digest herba euphorbiae humifusae collected in different periods, and then flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) was used to determine the contents of eight kinds of trace elements of herba euphorbiae humifusae in different periods, and the change in the contents of trace elements at different times was studied and analysed.

Developmental characteristics and response to iron toxicity of root border cells in rice seedlings.

To investigate the Fe2+ effects on root tips in rice plant, experiments were carried out using border cells in vitro. The border cells were pre-planted in aeroponic culture and detached from root tips. Most border cells have a long elliptical shape.
