Cd accumulation, its effects on elongation growth of maize coleoptile segments, pH changes of their incubation medium and the membrane potential of parenchymal cells were studied. The Cd content increased significantly with exposure to increasing cadmium concentrations. Coleoptile segments accumulated the metal more efficiently in the range 10-100 mu M Cd, than in the range 100-1000 mu M Cd. Cd at concentrations higher than 1.0 mu M produced a significant inhibition of both growth and proton extrusion. 100 mu M Cd caused depolarization of the plasma membrane (PM) potential in parenchymal cells. The simultaneous treatment of maize coleoptile segments by indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and Cd, counteracted the toxic effect of Cd on growth. Moreover, our data also showed that 100 mu M Cd suppressed the characteristic IAA-induced hyperpolarization of the membrane potential, causing membrane depolarization. These results indicate that the toxic effect of Cd on growth of maize coleoptile segments might be, at least in part, caused via reduced PM H+-ATPase activity.
