Abstract:Aims Programmed cell death (PCD) plays an important role in plant growth and development, which correlates with adaptation
of the plant to environment stress. Root border cells have many important biological functions in protecting the plant root
tip from biotic and abiotic stress, which is a popular research topic recently. However, few studies have focused on PCD of
root border cells and the phytoecological effect of aluminum on it. Our objective was to study the phytoecological and
molecular ecological mechanism of root border cells in resisting aluminum (Al) toxicity.
Methods We investigated change in viability of border cells, activities of catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD) and superoxide
dismutase (SOD), and PCD of root border cells by Al 3+ induced in soybean (Glycine max) root tips with different Al 3+
concentrations (0, 25, 50, 100, 200 and 400μmol·L-1 Al 3+and treatment times (12 and 24 h). PCD was observed through
Hoechst33342-PI fluorescent staining, DNA ladder and TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) analysis.
Important findings Aluminum can induce the death of root border cells. The viability of border cells decreases with
increased Al 3+ concentration and treatment time. The progressive delineation of fragmented DNA was coincident with the
appearance of DNA ladder after being exposed to 400μmol·L-1 Al 3+ for 24 h. TUNEL analysis of border cells revealed that the
nuclear DNA strand breaks can be identified by labeling free 3′-OH termini after treatment with 200 and 400μmol·L-1 Al 3+
for 12 h. Diaminobenzidine (DBA) staining indicated that the nucleus was positive and strong positive. Otherwise, CAT and SOD
activities declined with in creasing Al 3+ concentration and treatment time under higher Al 3+ concentration ( ＞100μmol·L-1),
and we observed no significant differences in POD activity among different Al 3+ concentrations and treatment times. These
results indicated that border cell death may be a PCD under Al 3+ stress. High Al3+ concentration induced PCD through
enhancing reactive oxygen species (ROS), which is one of the ways of resisting adversity in plants.
