The Ca^2+ absorption in rice leaves and Ca^2+ transportation from roots to leaves were promoted significantly in response to Hg^2+ and TCB treatments for 4-48 h. The Ca^2+ absorption peaks presented in the leaves when the rice seedlings were exposed to Hg^2+ for 8-12 h or to TCB for 12-24 h. Several Ca^2+ absorption peaks presented in the roots during rice seedlings being exposed to Hg^2+ and TCB, and the first Ca^2+ absorption peak was at 8 h after being exposed to Hg^2+ and TCB The result of isotope exchange kinetic analysis confirmed that short-term (8 h) Hg^2+ and TCB stresses caused Ca^2+ channels or pumps located on plasmalemma to open transiently. The phosphorylation assay showed that short-term TCB stress enhanced protein phosphorylation in rice roots (TCB treatment for 4-8 h) and leaves (TCB treatment for 4-24 h), and short-term (4-8 h) Hg^2+ stress also enhanced protein phosphorylation in rice leaves. The enhancement of protein phosphorylation in both roots and leaves corresponded with the first Ca^2+ absorption peak, which confirmed that the enhancement of protein phosphorylation caused by TCB or Hg^2+ stress might be partly triggered by the increases of cytosolic calcium. TCB treatment over 12 h inhibited protein phosphorylation in rice roots, which might be partly due to that TCB stress suppressed the protein kinase activity. Whereas, Hg^2+ treatment inhibited protein phosphorylation in rice roots, and Hg^2+ treatment over 12 h inhibited protein phosphorylation in rice leaves. This might be attributed to that not only the protein kinase activity, but also the expressions of phosphorylation proteins were restrained by Hg^2+ stress.展开更多
