Effects of aluminium on ultrastructure and antioxidant activity in leaves of tea plant

Abstract: Seedlings of Camellia sinensis (L.) were grown hydroponically to study the effect of aluminium (Al) on leaf antioxidant defence system and cell ultrastructure. We found that malondialdehyde (MDA) content decreased at 0-0.32 mM Al, but increased significantly at 0.53 mM Al. Like MDA, hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) content increased at 0.53 mM Al; however, no differences were observed at 0-0.32 mM Al. Superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC1.15.

“…It is known that tealeaves can accumulate large amounts of Al from 8,700 to 23,000 mg kg -1 , and even up to 30,000 mg kg -1 without experiencing Al toxicity (Matsumoto et al 1976). Li et al (2011) demonstrate the adaptation mechanisms in the leaves of the tea plant with an increasing capacity to overcome ROS via antioxidative enzyme systems (SOD, CAT, GPX, APX, and GR) at low Al concentration with CAT and GPX activities of tealeaves playing a more important role. At 0.53 mM Al concentration, the balance between the formation and detoxification of ROS is lost, leading to accumulation of H 2 O 2 , which is responsible for destruction of cell ultrastructure.…”

“…Trypsin was added at a mass ratio of 1:50 (trypsin: protein) and theenzymatic hydrolysis was digested overnight at 37 °C. After enzymatic hydrolysis, the peptide segments were desalted by AAA-C18 column (150 mm×4.6 mm I.D., 5 μm, AB SCIEX), and then frozen and dried in vacuum [61].…”

“…The decline in RBC count in the current study might have resulted from inhibition of RBC manufactured by mercuric chloride. Likewise, Li et al [16] report a reduction of total content of RBC in the blood of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) exposed to verapamil (VPR), a cardiovascular medicine. Clarias gariepinus exposed to mercuric chloride exhibited a decrease in haemoglobin which indicates that mercury caused anaemia.…”
