SV-type currents would increase and threshold potentials of activation would shift towards more negative values with the increase of concentrations of cytosolic Ca2+. When 2.5 mmol/ L LaCl3 and 4 mmol/L EGTA were added to bath solutions, SV-type currents were suppressed remarkably. Then adding LaCl3 with different concentrations to pipette solutions, we found that LaCl3 with higher concentrations (】4 × 10-7mol/L) had a strong inhibitory effect on SV-type currents, while LaCl3 with lower concentrations (≤4 × 10-7mol/L) promoted channel currents. This promoting effect provides an impor-tant basis at channel level for researching further the effects of rare earth on physiological activities of plants and the production-increase effects of rare earth fertilizers on crops.展开更多
