We established HPLC method for MAs (mugineic acid and its analogous phytosiderophore) determination. It was found that major phytosiderophores existed in high heavy metal-induced rice roots were MA (mugineic acid) and DMA (2'-deoxymugineic acid). The two MAs (MA and DMA) were simultaneously secreted at maximum rate at 12 : 00-14 : 00. On the other hand, the secretion of amino acids gradually decreased from after sunrise (7 : 00) to sunset (21 : 00). Fluctuaton in daily MAs secretion had rhythmic variation which occurred at intervals of about 4 days. The stimulation of MAs secretion from the roots was attributed not only to the light/dark cycle but to the increase in temperature. Temperature variation played a more important role than a photoperiod in MAs secretion from the roots. The initiation time of MAs secretion was positively correlated with rising time in temperature($20-30^{\circ}$) during the dark period.
