The concentrations used for aluminium chloride were 10-4, 10-3 and 10-2 mol/L ; and for calcium chloride were 10-5 , 10-4 , 10-3 and 10-2 mol/L, respectively. The results showed that after thetreatments with 10-2 to 10-3 mol/L Al3+ , root growth was severely inhibited , a large nurnber of thecells with c-mitosis were induced and the nucleolar material was extruded from the nucleus into the cytoplasm. However , the treatments with 10-2 to 10-3 mol/L of Al3+ together with 10-2)to 10-5 mol/LCa2+ suggested that Ca2+ gave the obviously protective effects against Al3+ poisoning in root growth.cell division and nucleoli of the root tip cells in A. cepa. The possible mechanism of these protective effects of Ca2+) is also briefly discussed. %K Allium %K antagonism %K aluminium %K chloride %K chromosorne %K aberration %K nucleolus %K decomposition. %U http://www.alljournals.cn/get_abstract_url.aspx?pcid=3FF3ABA7486768130C3FF830376F43B398E0C97F0FF2DD53&cid=A7CA601309F5FED03C078BCE383971DC&jid=6CB1530875F53489BF1E81BD87B7F5E6&aid=980B7D474FA2BA6A202CFB60577D3EB1&yid=BBCD5003575B2B5F&vid=DF92D298D3FF1E6E&iid=0B39A22176CE99FB&sid=6235172E4DDBA109&eid=2BA123C6EB9D54C2&journal_id=1001-0742&journal_name=Journalofenvironmentalsciences(China)&referenced_num=0&reference_num=0
