Effect of BHA on the aluminum-enhanced lipid peroxidation and other events in pea roots. Pea seedlings were treated with or without 10 μm aluminum in the presence or absence of 20 μm BHA in 100 μm CaCl₂ (pH 4.75) for 24 h. Then, a 10-mm section of the root apex was analyzed for lipid peroxidation (A), aluminum content (B), or the loss of plasma membrane integrity (C), as described in “Materials and Methods.” All data show the means ± se of a total of three independent replicates from two independent experiments, each comprising four 10-mm root apices.
