Abstract

Abstract A solution culture was conducted to investigate the effects of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) toxicity on growth of mung bean (Phaseolus aures Roxb. cv VC‐3762) and accumulation of polyamine. Eight‐day‐old seedlings were grown in diluted nutrient solution with different concentrations of Cu and Zn for 6 days. Results showed that elongation of epicotyl and fresh weight of plants were decreased by 10 μM Cu and 100 μM Zn significantly compared to control (0.03 μMCu and 0.1 μMZn). Accumulation of polyamine, especially putrescine (Put) was found in the epicotyl of mung bean seedlings. Addition of 5 mM calcium (Ca) into nutrient solution improved the growth of 10 μM Cu‐treated seedling, and decreased the concentration of Put and increased concentrations of spermine and spermidine in epicotyl of plants. Moreover, supplying Put did not increase tolerance of plant to Cu or Zn. It was suggested that Put accumulation resulting from toxicity of Cu and Zn might merely be a symptom of stress injury.
