Measurements of aluminum transport in wheat at the cellular level
نویسنده
چکیده
We have performed tracer experiments with “6Al to study the transport of aluminum through the cellular structure of wheat. We conclude that there are identifiable differences between strains of wheat that are sensitive to aluminum poisoning and those that are not. Short time and long time behaviours are observed in these initial experiments.

Determination of Aluminum Stress Tolerance Threshold During Seed Germination of Wheat
Environmental stresses are the most important factors that reduce plant growth in stages of development. The presence of aluminum in acidic soils as an environmental stress has an impact on different parts of the plant and reduces root growth, water absorption and nutrients and increases susceptibility to drought. In order to evaluate the effect of aluminum stress levels on wheat at germinatio...
متن کاملAluminum effects on calcium fluxes at the root apex of aluminum-tolerant and aluminum-sensitive wheat cultivars.
The role of Ca(2+) transport in the mechanism of Al toxicity was investigated, using a Ca(2+)-selective microelectrode system to study Al effects on root apical Ca(2+) fluxes in two wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars: Al-tolerant Atlas 66 and Al-sensitive Scout 66. Intact 3-day-old low-salt-grown (100 micromolar CaCl(2), pH 4.5) wheat seedlings were used, and it was found that both cultivar...
متن کاملThe effect of Aluminum on the increasing risk of developing anemia among workers of tile production plants
Background and aims: The aluminum-containing compounds are used as glaze in tile and ceramic production plants. It means that the workers working in these plants are in direct exposure to aluminum-containing compounds. The aim of this study was to assess the potential damages caused by aluminum among tile plant workers. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 60 workers whom were in direct exp...
