This study investigates the effect of static magnetic field (SMF) pre-treatment in ameliorating arsenic (As) toxicity in soybean plants in relation to growth, photosynthesis and water transport through leaf venation. Soybean (Glycine max variety JS-9560) seeds pre-treated with SMF (200 mT for 1 h) were grown in four levels of arsenate-polluted soil (As(V); 0, 5, 10 and 50 mg kg ) in order to find out the impact of magnetopriming on plant tolerance against As toxicity. Quantitative image analysis of soybean leaf venation showed a narrowing in the width of midrib with increasing As(V) contamination in non-primed seeds. The morphological variations are also supported by the physiological parameters such as reduction in efficiency of photosystem II, plant performance index, stomatal conductance and photosynthetic rate in the presence of As(V) for non-primed seeds. However, remarkable increase was observed in all the measured parameters by SMF pre-treatment at all the concentrations of As(V) used. Even for the highest concentration of As(V) (50 mg kg soil), SMF pre-treatment caused significant enhancement in plant height (40%), area of third trifoliate leaves (40%), along with increase in width of the midrib (17%) and minor vein (13%), contributing to increase in the water uptake, that resulted in higher primary photochemistry of PSII (12%), performance index (50%), stomatal conductance (57%) and photosynthetic rate (33%) as compared to non-primed ones. Consequently, magnetopriming of dry seeds can be effectively used as pretreatment for reduction of As toxicity in soybean plants.
这项研究调查了静磁场(SMF)预处理对改善大豆植物砷(As)毒性的影响,涉及生长、光合作用和通过叶片叶脉的水分运输。将大豆(Glycine max 品种 JS-9560)种子用 SMF(200 mT,1 小时)预处理,然后在四种砷酸盐污染土壤(As(V);0、5、10 和 50 mg kg)中生长,以找出磁引发对植物耐砷毒性的影响。大豆叶片叶脉的定量图像分析表明,随着非引发种子中 As(V)污染的增加,中脉的宽度变窄。形态变化也得到了生理参数的支持,例如非引发种子中存在 As(V)时,光系统 II 效率、植物性能指数、气孔导度和光合速率降低。然而,在所有使用的 As(V)浓度下,SMF 预处理都显著增加了所有测量参数。即使在最高浓度的 As(V)(50 mg kg 土壤)下,SMF 预处理也导致植物高度(40%)、三叶中叶面积(40%)显著增加,同时中脉(17%)和小脉(13%)宽度增加,增加水分吸收,导致 PSII 的初级光化学(12%)、性能指数(50%)、气孔导度(57%)和光合速率(33%)比非引发种子更高。因此,干种子的磁引发可以有效地用作减少大豆植物砷毒性的预处理。
