“…In preliminary experiments, we tested the effect of a number of La concentrations on plant growth, development, and nutrient concentration (Ramírez-Martínez et al, 2009, 2012). The stimulant effect of La on plant growth was observed when this element was applied at concentrations between 10 and 20 μM La.…”

Lanthanum (La) is considered a beneficial element, capable of inducing hormesis. Hormesis is a dose-response relationship phenomenon characterized by low-dose stimulation and high-dose inhibition. Herein we tested the effect of 0 and 10 μM La on growth and biomolecule concentrations of seedlings of four sweet bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) varieties, namely Sven, Sympathy, Yolo Wonder, and Zidenka. Seedling evaluations were performed 15 and 30 days after treatment applications (dat) under hydroponic greenhouse conditions. Seedling height was significantly increased by La, growing 20% taller in Yolo Wonder plants, in comparison to the control. Similarly, La significantly enhanced shoot diameter, with increases of 9 and 9.8% in measurements performed 15 and 30 dat, respectively, as compared to the control. Likewise, La-treated seedlings had a higher number of flower buds than the control. An increase in the number of leaves because of La application was observed in Yolo Wonder seedlings, both 15 and 30 dat, while leaf area was augmented in this variety only 30 dat. Nevertheless, La did not affect dry biomass accumulation. La effects on biomolecule concentration were differential over time. In all varieties, La stimulated the biosynthesis of chlorophyll a, b and total 15 dat, though 30 dat only the varieties Sympathy and Yolo Wonder showed enhanced concentrations of these molecules because of La. Total soluble sugars increased in La-treated seedlings 30 dat. Interestingly, while most varieties exposed to La showed a reduction in amino acid concentration 15 dat, the opposite trend was observed 30 dat. Importantly, in all varieties evaluated, La stimulated soluble protein concentration 30 dat. It is important to note that while chlorophyll concentrations increased in all varieties exposed to La, both 15 and 30 dat, those of soluble sugars and proteins consistently increased only 30 dat, but not 15 dat. Our results confirm that La may improve seedling quality by enhancing some growth parameters and biomolecule concentrations, depending on the genotype, and time of exposure.

“…In previous studies we have reported the effect of a number of La concentrations on growth, development, and nutrient concentration of tulip plants 19,20 . Moreover, we performed an in-depth analysis of the literature on La dosage resulting in beneficial effects in other plant species.…”

“…Importantly, La has been proven to induce hormesis in various plant species including Himalayan yew 27 , desert broomrape 28 , horseradish 25 , eucalyptus (Eucalyptus grandis x E. uroplylla) 31 , cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) 32 , maize 32,33 , rice (Oryza sativa) 34 , common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) 33 , faba bean (Vicia faba) 35 , soybean 15,16 , tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) 36 , pepper 11 , www.nature.com/scientificreports www.nature.com/scientificreports/ and spinach (Spinacea oleracea) 37,38 , among others. In ornamental plants, the effect of La has been tested in snapdragon, tulip, rose and lily [18][19][20][21][22] . Therefore, as compared to cereal grains and industrial crops, La has been less studied in ornamental plants or cut flowers.…”

“…In cut flowers such as snapdragon, La (as LaCl 3 ) has been shown to inhibit stem curvature of spikes by preventing several gravity-dependent processes 18 . In tulip, when La was added to the nutrient solution at concentrations less than or equal to 20 µM, foliar accumulation of essential cations such as calcium (Ca 2+ ) and potassium (K + ) was significantly increased, especially when La was supplied as LaCl 3 , as compared to La(NO 3 ) 3 × 6H 2 O 19,20 . In rose (Rosa × hybrida), the application of 500 µM/L La improved the water balance of cut flowers, increased fresh weight, reduced respiration rate, and prolonged vase life for 2-3 d more than the control 21 .…”

Libia iris trejo-téllez 1* We evaluated the effect of separately adding two sources of lanthanum (La), LaCl 3 and La(NO 3) 3 × 6H 2 O at a concentration of 40 µM each, to the preservative solution of 15 cut tulip flower varieties. Ascorbic acid (AsA; 0.2 g/L) was used as a reference solution, while distilled water was used as control. The variety Laura Fygi recorded the longest vase life with 13 days. The highest water consumption per gram of stem fresh biomass weight (FBW) (2.5 mL) was observed in the variety Violet Beauty, whereas the lowest (1.098 mL) was recorded in Pink Impression. At the end of the vase life period, higher concentrations of total soluble sugars in petals and total soluble proteins in leaves were recorded in Latreated stems, compared to the AsA treatment and the control. Additionally, La(NO 3) 3 × 6H 2 o supply increased the fresh weight of stems in vase and prolonged vase life. Moreover, this treatment resulted in the highest foliar concentration of chlorophylls at the end of vase life. Therefore, La increases tulip flower vase life as a consequence of improving the concentrations of some vital biomolecules.
