               The mechanistic basis for Al toxicity effects on root growth is still a matter of speculation, but it almost certainly involves decreased cell division at the root apex. In this series of experiments, we attempt to determine whether Al enters meristematic cells and binds to nuclei when roots are exposed to a low Al3+ activity in solution. The methodology involved the use of the Al-sensitive stain lumogallion (3-[2,4 dihydroxyphenylazo]-2-hydroxy-5-chlorobenzene sulfonic acid), the DNA stain 4′,6-diamino-phenylindole, and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) cv Young (Al-sensitive) and PI 416937 (Al-tolerant) genotypes were exposed to 1.45 μm Al3+ for periods ranging from 30 min to 72 h, and then washed with 10 mm citrate to remove apoplastic Al. Fluorescence images show that within 30 min Al entered cells of the sensitive genotype and accumulated at nuclei in the meristematic region of the root tip. Substantial Al also was present at the cell periphery. The images indicated that the Al-tolerant genotype accumulated lower amounts of Al in meristematic and differentiating cells of the root tip and their cell walls. Collectively, the results support an important role for exclusion in Al tolerance.}, number={2}, journal={PLANT PHYSIOLOGY}, author={Silva, IR and Smyth, TJ and Moxley, DF and Carter, TE and Allen, NS and Rufty, TW}, year={2000}, month={Jun}, pages={543–552} }
