植物根系细胞壁在提高植物抵抗金属离子毒性中的作用

植物根系细胞壁在抵抗金属离子毒害过程中发挥着重要作用,论文对金属胁迫下植物细胞壁对金属离子的固定作用及其机制进行了探讨.主要从两个方面阐述了金属离子胁迫下,细胞壁提高植物抗性的机制:其一是细胞壁对金属离子的"区隔机制";其二是细胞壁对金属离子的"适应机制".两种机制对于提高植物对金属离子的抗性均具有重要作用.在探讨细胞壁提高植物对金属离子的抗性机制的同时,还对通过外加手段在细胞壁水平来调节植物对金属离子的抗性的可能性进行了探讨,指出通过利用丛枝菌根真菌与大多数植物可以形成菌根共生体的特性,可以从细胞壁角度入手更好地阐述丛枝菌根真菌提高植物对金属离子的抗性机制.

A Review on the Effects of Cell Wall on the Resistance of Plants to Metal Stress

The mechanisms of the cell walls of plants to resist metal toxicity are reviewed in this paper. Two kinds of mechanisms are involved: One is the compartmenzation of cell walls; the other is the adaptability of cell walls. The resistance of plants to metals is enhanced largely by both mechanisms of cell walls. The possibility of enhancing the resistance of plants to metals by modulating the physical-chemical characteristics of cell walls is also reviewed. The mechanisms of resistance increased to metals by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi colonization can also be explained by the changes of cell walls.
