Effects of Aluminium on Pigments and Pigment-Protein Complexes of Soybean

Year: 2000

Type: article

Abstract: The effect of aluminium (0.5 -1.0 mM) on contents of phosphorus, pigments, and pigment-protein complexes was studied in soybean (Glycine max Merril.) grown in different nutrient medium with and without P. Increased Al concentrations led to the decrease in the contents of chlorophylls (Chl) a and b, and carotenoids (Car) in soybean leaves, but Chl a/b ratio did not vary significantly. In long-term experiments, P ameliorates the negative effects of Al.
