Heavy metal stress and sulfate uptake in maize roots.
ZmST1;1, a putative high-affinity sulfate transporter gene expressed in maize (Zea mays) roots, was functionally characterized and its expression patterns were analyzed in roots of plants exposed to different heavy metals (Cd, Zn, and Cu) interfering with thiol metabolism. The ZmST1;1 cDNA was expressed in the yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) sulfate transporter mutant CP154-7A. Kinetic analysi...
متن کاملCadmium-induced sulfate uptake in maize roots.
The effect of cadmium (Cd) on high-affinity sulfate transport of maize (Zea mays) roots was studied and related to the changes in the levels of sulfate and nonprotein thiols during Cd-induced phytochelatin (PC) biosynthesis. Ten micromolar CdCl(2) in the nutrient solution induced a 100% increase in sulfate uptake by roots. This was not observed either for potassium or phosphate uptake, suggesti...
متن کاملToxic Effects of Heavy Metals on Plant Growth and Metal Accumulation in Maize (Zea maysL.)
Background: A pot experiment was conducted to determine the toxic effects of some heavy metals on the plant growth and seed yield of maize (Zea mays L.). Materials and Metheds: Heavy metals Mn, Pb, Cd, Cr and Co individually and in combinations were added as chloride salts in solutions to the pots before sowing. The test plants for were harvested after 80 days of germination and evaluated f...
متن کاملThe Influence of Mycorrhiza and Edta Application on Heavy Metal Uptake by Different Maize Varieties
This study investigated whether mycorrhizal colonization influences heavy metal uptake by maize. Two experiments were carried out. In the first, 15 commercially available maize varieties cultured on industrial waste substratum and inoculated or not with Glomus intraradices, were treated one week before harvest with EDTA, a chelating agent known to mobilize heavy metals in soil. Estimation of my...
متن کاملUptake of rb and k by excised maize roots.
Radioactive isotopes are valuable tools for investigating the uptake and transport of ions by biological material. Their use as tracers provide results that often can be obtained only by such a technique. The reliability of isotopes as tracers, however, is sometimes implicitly accepted. Although the pitfalls are widely known, they are often ignored. The hazards were emphasized for us in the use...
