Manganese Accumulation and Toxicity, and Superoxide Dismutase Activity in Vegetable Soybean (Glycine Max (L.) Merr.)

Manganese toxicity is one of the growth limiting factors under acidic conditions. Some plants accumulate Mn more in the top than in the root, while others accumulate more in the root than in the top. Vegetable soybean is an indicator plant that can be used to determine the mechanism of toxicity....

Manganese Accumulation and Toxicity, and Superoxide Dismutase Activity in Vegetable Soybean (Glycine Max (L.) Merr.)
description Manganese toxicity is one of the growth limiting factors under acidic conditions. Some plants accumulate Mn more in the top than in the root, while others accumulate more in the root than in the top. Vegetable soybean is an indicator plant that can be used to determine the mechanism of toxicity. Part of the plant tissue that accumulates the highest Mn needs to be extracted so as to determine the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD). In view of this, a series of experiments was conducted to determine the accumulation of Mn in the tissues (leaf, stem, root and pod) of vegetable soybean, toxic level of Mn in solution culture, time-dependent of Mn accumulation in the tissue and the effect of Mn concentration on superoxide dismutase activity under different time of plant growth.
