Abstract: Mercury (Hg) toxicity is an in rice growth problem throughout the world. In the present study, Zhonghua 11 and a Hg2+-tolerant rice mutant (MT) were used in a solution culture to investigate the effect of 0.4 mmol L-1 Hg2+ treatment on reactive
oxygen species (ROS) metabolism and dynamic change of ascorbate-glutathione (AsA-GSH) cycle. The results indicated that the
H2O2 content, evolution rate, MDA content, GSSG and DHAcontents of the leaves were higher in the wild type than in the
mutant; both the ratio of GSH to GSSG and the ratio of AsA to DHA were higher in the mutant than in the wild type, while the accumulation of Hg2+ in roots and stems of the mutant was more than that of the wild type. The results reveal that AsA-GSH cycle was less inhibited in the mutant than in the wild type, thus the mutant was able to scavenge ROS more. An effective AsA-GSH cycle is important for the mercury resistance of mutant.
