Although it is well known that rare earth elements promote cell growth. The biological effects of La^(3+) and Ce^(3+) on callus, shoot and root induction in tobacco are still unclear. The relationships among callus induction, rooting, enzyme activities and stomatal characteristics in tobacco are unknown. The objectives of this study were to identify the relationships between the induction of calluses, shoots, roots, stomata and enzyme activities. The induction percentages of calluses, buds, roots were recorded at 5,10,15, 20 and 25 days after La^(3+) and Ce^(3+) treatments. Peroxidase isoenzyme activity was determined by electrophoresis. The characteristics of the stomata were observed under an optical microscope. Our results show that low concentrations of Ce^(3+)(〈15 mg/L) result in increases in the induction percentages of calluses,buds and roots, but La^(3+)(〉5 mg/L) inhibits the induction of calluses, buds and roots. There are more peroxidase isoenzyme bands in Ce^(3+) treatments than in La^(3+) treatments. This is consistent with the induction percentages of calluses,buds and roots in Ce^(3+) and La^(3+) treatments. High enzyme activities may promote the induction of calluses, buds and roots. The stomata area and stomata number of leaves are significantly different between La^(3+) treatments and Ce^(3+) treatments. La^(3+) improves the stomata area and number. Based on these results, we speculate that La^(3+) may promote the development of the photosynthetic system. Ce^(3+)may promote tobacco growth and rooting by improving enzyme activities.展开更多
