Effects of lead toxicity on growth and cell wall extensibility in rice seedlings

Abstract: The effect of lead (Pb) on growth and mechanical properties of cell wall was investigated in rice seedlings. Caryopses of rice were germinated and grown in various concentrations of lead nitrate for 5 days at 250C in the dark. Growth of rice seedlings was suppressed by Pb ions; significant suppression was caused by low concentration of Pb as 1 μM. Growth suppression was prominent in roots, but not clear in shoot organs, such as coleoptiles or first leaves, suggesting that roots are the primary target of Pb tox… Show more

“…Our study showed that compared with AC, L and H treatments significantly reduced plant height, root length, dry weight, and fresh weight of rice seedlings. The results showed that Pb toxicity had inhibitory effect on rice seedling biomass accumulation, which was consistent with previous research results (Hussain et al 2018;Mishra and Choudhuri 1998). In addition, compared with AC, there was no significant change in rice dry matter rate under L and H treatments.…”

“…Water deficit reportedly decreased the cell wall extensibility in the hypocotyl of soybean (Wu et al 2005), and drought stress decreased the cell wall elasticity in rose leaves (Al-Yasi et al 2020). Si application was shown to increase the leaf cell wall extensibility in rice, oat, and wheat seedlings (Hossain et al 2002), and lead exposure reduced the leaf cell wall extensibility in rice (Hossain et al 2015). NH4 + -toxicity reportedly increases the cell wall rigidity, which limits the expansion of leaf cells (Podgórska et al 2017).…”

“…Similarly, lead (Pb) accumulates mainly in the roots, where it has a high affinity for galacturonic acid [ 28 ], which may change pectin structure and decrease cell wall extensibility. Finally, Pb has been found to reduce cell wall extensibility by influencing the synthesis of cell wall polysaccharides [ 29 ].…”
