Effect of Al3+ on ethylene evolution from root tips of Arabidopsis wild-type (Col-0) and auxin polar transport mutants, aux1-7 and pin2. (A) Both wild-type and mutants seedlings were treated with 50 μM AlCl3 (pH 4.5) for 2 h and the ethylene evolution from excised root tips (∼5 mm) was determined. (B) Effect of 10 μM NPA on Al-induced increase of ethylene evolution from root tips ofthe Arabidopsis wild type (Col-0). Seedlings of Col-0 were treated with 10 μM NPA solution for 12 h and then incubated in 50 μM AlCl3 (pH 4.5) for another 2 h. Values are means ±SE of five replicates.
