Abstract

Crop production in red soil areas may be cut down by aluminum toxicity. Hydroponic cultures were conducted to investigate the role of exogenous organic acids in detoxification of aluminum in wheat ( Triticum aestivum L. cv. Scout 66 and Atlas 66). Treatment with Al 50 μmol/L for 24 h significantly depressed the root elongation of wheat seedlings and increased electrolyte leakage of root (Figs.1 and 2). The application of exogenous citrate or oxalate alleviated the inhibitory effect of Al on root elongation and reduced root electrolyte leakage of wheat seedlings exposed to Al 50 μmol/L (Table 1, Figs.1 and 2). The result of eriochrome cyanine R staining experiment showed strong staining in the apex in Scout 66 (Al-sensitive) wheat seedlings root with Al 50 μmol/L stress for 24 h, whereas those treated simultaneously with exogenous oxalate 100 μmol/L showed no staining (Fig.4). Viability of the root tip surface cells was measured by propidium iodide staining. The root cell viability was lowed by adding Al, but not by adding Al and oxalate together (Fig.3) . The split-root experiment showed that exogenous oxalate may be absorbed into seedlings by root and may play an important role in the internal Al detoxification.
