Effects of Mg2+ on concentrations of Pb2+ and Mg2+ in shoots and roots of T. grandis seedlings grown under Pb2+ toxicity.
Treatment | Pb2+ content (mg kg-1) Root | Shoot | Mg2+ content (mg g-1) Root | Shoot |
---|---|---|---|---|
T1 | n.d. | n.d. | 0.39 ± 0.03b | 0.74 ± 0.03b |
T2 | n.d. | n.d. | 0.73 ± 0.08a | 3.27 ± 0.05a |
T3 | 689.1 ± 30.5b | 231.4 ± 12.3a | 0.44 ± 0.05b | 0.79 ± 0.02b |
T4 | 876.1 ± 20.2a | 156.2 ± 3.6b | 0.76 ± 0.01a | 3.37 ± 0.2a |
Data points and error bars represent mean ± standard deviation of three replicates. Different letters indicate significant differences (P < 0.05); n = 3. The same letter in the same column denotes no significant difference among treatments, n.d. = not determined. Treatments: T1, control; T2, control + 1040 mg kg-1 Mg2+; T3, 1400 mg kg-1 Pb2+; T4, 1400 mg kg-1 Pb2+ + 1040 mg kg-1 Mg2+.
