Effect of aluminum on peroxidase isozyme in two rice cultivars

Aluminum-treated rice seeding (Oryza sativa L. cv. Taichung Native 1 and O. sativa L. cv. Tainung 67) showed significant inhibition in rice root growth, and an enhancement of POX activity. In Tainung 67 cultivar rice synthesizes more lignin in Al-treated tissue. Meanwhile, the decrease of H2O2 levels is accompanied with the enhancement of POX activity in Al-treated tissue. The increase in POX activity induced by Al might remove excess hydrogen peroxide serving a detoxifying role and synthesizing more lignin for protection. In Taichung native 1 cultivar, high amounts of H2O2 accumulated in Al-treated tissues could be due to the less amounts of POX induced by Al. In response to Al treatment, the Taichung native 1 cultivar synthesizes less lignin in comparison with that of Tainung 67, and is more Al-less tolerant. Therefore, the Tainung 67 cultivar is more tolerant to Al than Taichung native 1.
