Normal root growth is essential for the plant uptake of soil nutrients and water. However, exogenous HO inhibits the gravitropic growth of pea primary roots. It has been shown that CaCl application can alleviate HO inhibition, but the exact alleviation mechanism is not clear.

However, the toxic mechanism of acetochlor on plants is not fully understood. The present study used a combination of transcriptomic analysis and physiological measurements to investigate the effects of short-term (15-day) exposure to different concentrations of acetochlor (1, 10, 20 mg/kg) on the morphology, physiology, and transcriptional levels of pea seedlings, aiming to elucidate the toxic response and resistance mechanisms in pea seedlings under herbicide stress.
