Effects of Lanthanum on Root Growth and Senescence of GF43 （ Prunus domestica ） Plantlet in Vitro

The effect and the action mechanism of lanthanum on GF43 plantlet in vitro were studied. The results of experiments show that root growth rate and dry weight of GF43 by LaCI3 treatments increase. The activities of antioxidant enzymes in root system such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD) apparently enhance. Moreover O^-2 and malond ialdehyde (MDA) contents and cell membrane permeability of GF43 are decreased by LaC13. The relatively stable membrane structure of cell could also be maintained and the root ageing of GF43 plantlet in vitro delays.     

Effect of Lanthanum （Ⅲ） on Reactive Oxygen Metabolism of Soybean Seedlings under Supplemental UV-B Irradiation

The effect of lanthanum （Ⅲ） on reactive oxygen metabolism of soybean seedlings under elevated ultraviolet-B radiation（UV-B：280~320 nm）at 0.15 and 0.45 W·cm-2 levels respectively was studied through hydroponics in the laboratory.Plasmolemma permeability and contents of malonadialdehyde（MDA）,hydrogen peroxide（H2O2）,and proline gradually increased during the imposition of UV-B radiation and subsequently decreased during recovery from UV-B stress.The dynamic tendency of catalase（CAT）activity was similar to that of the above four indices.The activity of peroxidase（POD）initially increased,then remained at a high level,and finally dropped steeply when soybean seedlings were exposed to a low dosage of UV-B radiation.However,POD activity rose throughout and declined slightly on the eleventh day when soybean seedlings were stressed by a high dosage.With the addition of La （Ⅲ） of 20 mg·L-1,the rising tendency of plasmolemma permeability and contents of MDA,H2O2,and proline were slowed down during the stress period,whereas the declining speed was accelerated during the recovery period.The activities of CAT and POD were higher than those without La （Ⅲ） in all experiments.It suggested that the regulative effect of La （Ⅲ） on antioxidant enzymes such as CAT and POD could strengthen their capacities to scavenge reactive oxygen species（ROS）,decrease contents of MDA and proline,and maintain normal plasmolemma permeability.Further more,the protective potential of La （Ⅲ） was better under low UV-B radiation than under a high one.     

Toxicological effects of rare earth yttrium on wheat seedlings（Triticum aestivum）

This study examined the biochemical responses of wheat（Triticum aestivum） to the stress of rare earth yttrium（Y） and showed that 25–100 mg/kg Y treatments evidently increased the biomass（root mass,shoot mass and leaf mass）,accompanied by a significant（p0.05） increase in the chlorophyll（CHL） content in wheat leaves.Increased malondialdehyde（MDA） levels were detected in wheat shoots（stem and leaf） and roots too,indicating the presence of poisoning active oxygen species（AOS）.The MDA content in wheat roots increased with the augmentation of Y concentration.These results indicated that there was a dose-dependent effect of Y on the changes of MDA content in wheat roots.Although the activities of superoxide dismutases（SOD）,peroxidases（POD） and catalases（CAT） in wheat shoots and roots irregularly fluctuated with the increase in Y concentration,25–100 mg/kg Y significantly（p0.01） increased the activities of SOD and POD.In general,the dose-dependent effects of Y on the activity of antioxidant enzymes were insignificant.Our data also indicated that the increase in SOD and POD activities could be used as a good biomarker for the stress induced by low concentrations of Y.

Effect of Neodymium on Physiological Activities in Oilseed Rape during Calcium Starvation

The effects of RE on increasing crop productivity and stress tolerance were reported inpast years[' '2). La ion acts as a calcium-influxinhibitor by displacing Ca2 from cell wallsand occupying Ca2 -binding sites on the plasmalemma, as effective as Ca in the deferral ofsenescence. Besides blocking calcium channels, La has been frequently reported to mimicCa2 effect on plant ion transport.

Effect of Rare Earths on Plants under Supplementary Ultraviolet-B Radiation: Ⅱ. Effect of Cerium on Antioxidant Defense System in Rape Seedlings under Supplementary Ultraviolet-B Radiation

Effects of cerium (Ce3 ) on membranous protective enzymes in rape seedlings exposed to two levels of enhanced ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B, 280 ～ 320 nm) were studied by hydroponics in the laboratory. The results show that the chlorophyll content decreases and membrane permeability increases in the leaves under UV-B irradiation with an intenposed to a low level of UV-B radiation. POD activity in leaves exposed to a high level of UV-B radiation is enhanced constantly. The sensitivities of these enzymes to UV-B radiation are SOD ＞ CAT ＞ POD. The injury by UV-B radiation on the functions of protective enzymes is lightened, their ability to scavenge radicals is improved, and the membrane permeability is maintained by Ce. Furthermore, the protective effect of cerium is more obvious in plants exposed to low levels of UV-B radiation than to high levels of it. Accordingly, all results prove that the protective effect of Ce on plants under UV-B radiation is realized through the protective system of plants.

Effects of lanthanum on the growth and essential oil components of lavender under osmotic stress

The effects of lanthanum on growth, soluble sugar content, essential oil contents and quality were studied in lavender plant (Lavandula Angustifolia Mill, Variety 701) under osmotic stress by means of PEG-6000 solution. The results show that osmotic stress could reduce the growth rate of lavender, and increase the content of SSC (soluble sugar concentration) to some extent. Compared with control group, the contents of essential oil in flowers and leaves respectively increase by 45.6% and 48.3% in the osmotic stress group induced by 15% PEG-6000. However, the presence of lanthanum can make the contents of essential oil in the flowers and leaves of stressed lavender plants enhance by 19.4% and 18.6%, respectively. Under osmotic stress, the relative contents of four kinds of lavender essential oil compositions of camphor, linalool, linalyl acetate and lavandulol acetate in the lavender flowers were successively 22.63%, 0.61%, 25.46%, 7.03%, and 20.17%, 0.62%, 20.72%, 10.80%, respectively in the presence and absence of lanthanum. The contents of all four main components of lavender essential oils meet the requirements of the national standard under osmotic stress in the presence of lanthanum. However, in the absence of lanthanum, the contents of linalyl acetate and lavandulol acetate does not meet the requirements of the national standard under osmotic stress. Moreover, the contents of five components of borneol, camphor, eudesmol, caryophyllene oxide and bicyclic sesquiphellandrene from the essential oil of lavender leaves are 12.89%, 3.84%, 8.76%, 11.30% and 8.10%, respectively. The total content of above five components accounts for 44.89% of the essential oil of the lavender leaves. Particularly, the borneol content in leaf essential oil is up to 12.89%. It is 125.2 times the amount of borneol in the flower essential oil. In conclusion, the suitable concentration of lanthanum can improve the adaptability of lavender plants, and heighten the content and quality of lavender essential oil to some extent under osmotic stress.     

Effects of chloroquine treatment on antioxidant enzymes in rat liver and kidney

The effect of chloroquine (CHQ) administration on antioxidant enzymes in rat liver and kidney was studied. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were administered 20 mg/kg CHQ once a week for 4 weeks (chronic treatment) or a single dose at 10 or 20 mg/kg (acute treatment). Antioxidant enzyme activities were determined in cytosolic fractions of liver and kidney, whereas reduced glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were determined in tissue samples. Results indicate minimal effects of acute CHQ treatment, whereas chronic treatment with CHQ differentially affected antioxidant enzymes in the two organs. Superoxide dismutase activity was increased nearly twofold, while activities of selenium glutathione peroxidase (GPX), catalase, and NAD (P) H: quinone oxidoreductase were decreased in livers of CHQ-treated rats compared to controls. No significant effects of CHQ on glutathione reductase, GSH, and MDA levels were seen in the liver. Fewer effects of CHQ were observed in the kidney where a decrease in GPX activity and an increase in MDA levels was seen. Lowering of antioxidant enzymes activities in the liver by CHQ could render the organ more susceptible to subsequent oxidative stress; while increased MDA production after CHQ treatment in the kidney indicate that the organ is being subjected to oxidative stress. This could have implications for prolonged chloroquine intake.
