Abstract

The toxic effects of aluminium (Al) on growth, chlorophyll content, $\delta-aminolevulinic$ acid dehydratase (ALAD) activity and anatomy of root and shoot were investigated in 7-day-old azuki bean (Vigna angularis) seedlings. Significant depressions in root elongation was observed in the low concentrations of Al (50, 100 $\muM)$ and increasing Al concentrations caused a sharp decline of root and shoot growth. The degree of inhibition was dependent upon Al supply. Exposure to 50 $\muM$ Al or more inhibited root elongation within 1 day. In the 50 $\muM$ Al treatments, a recovery of root growth was seen after 7 days exposure. In contrast, lateral root initials was little affected by Al exposure. Al toxicity symptoms and growth responses were more well developed in the roots than in the shoots. Analysis of Al localization in root cells by hematoxylin stAlning showed that Al entered root apices and accumulated in the epidermal and cortical cells immeadiately below the epidermis. There was a good positive correlation between the level of chlorophyll and ALAD activity. Increasing Al concentrations caused a decrease in total chlorophyll contents, accompanied by proportional changes in ALAD activity, suggesting a cootr-dinated reduction of a photosynthetic machinery. Al exerted specific influence on the morphology of root ann shoot. At higher concentrations of Al the roots induced drastic anatomical changes. The epidermal cells were disorganized or destructed while the cortical cells exhibited distortion of cell shape and/or disintegration. The diameter of root and transectional area of cortical cells decreased considerably with Al treatment. In the shoot Al also enhanced reduction of diameter of shoot and cell size. Gross anatomy of leaves treated with Al did not differ significantly from the controls, except for fewer and smaller chloroplast. Our results indicate that toxic effect of Al appear to be manifested primarily in roots and secondarily on shoots, and changes in root morphology are related to changes in the root growth patterns. Results are further discussed in re181ion to the findings in other plant species, and it is concluded that Al causes morphological, structural and, presumably, functional damage to the roots of the species investigated.

발아후 7일된 팥유식물에서 alumlnlum(Al)이 생장, 엽록소 함량, ALAD활성 및 뿌리와 경엽부의 형태에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 저농도(50, 100 $\muM)의$ Al처리에 의해 뿌리와 경엽부의 신장이 매우 감소되었으며 농도가 증가함에 따라 생장이 더욱 억제되었다. 따라서 생장억제는 농도의존적이었다. 뿌리신장은 Al 처리 24시간에서 감소되었으며 7일간의 저농도처리에 의해 억제효과가 회복되는 경향을 보여주었다. Al의 독성증상과 생장반응은 경엽부에 비해 뿌리에서 더 크게 나타났다. Hematoxylin 염색법에 의해 Al 분포를 조사한 결과 Al은 근단을 통해 표피와 피층세포에 축적되어 있음을 알 수 있었다. 한편 Al처리는 엽록소함량을 감소시켰으며, ALAD활성 또한 억제시켰다. 엽록소 함량과 ALAD 활성 간에는 양의 상관관계가 나타났다. Al 처리에 의한 뿌리의 형태변화를 보면 표피세포 및 피층세포의 변형 또는 파괴가 관찰되었으며, 뿌리직경과 피층의 체적도 매우 감소되었다. 경엽부에서도 Al처리는 직경과 세포크기의 감소를 보여주었다. 그러나 잎에서의 형태적 변화는 엽록체수와 크기변화 이외에는 거의 관찰되지 않았다. 이와 같은 결과에서 Al의 독성효과는 1차적으로 뿌리에서 나타나며, 뿌리형태의 변화는 뿌리의 생장패턴과 관련이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 Al은 팥유식물에서 특히 뿌리의 형태와 기능적 손상을 일으키는데 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 생각된다.
