Several mineral rhizotoxicities, including those induced by A13+, H +, and Na +, can be relieved by elevated Ca 2+ in the rooting medium. This leads to the hypothesis that the toxic cations displace Ca 2+ from transport channels or surface ligands that must be occupied by Ca 2+ in order for root elongation to occur. In this study with wheat (Tr i t i cum a e s t i v u m L.) seedlings, we have determined, in the case of AP+, that (i) Ca 2+, Mg z+, and Sr 2+ are equally ameliorative, (ii) that root elongation does not increase as Ca 2+ replaces Mg 2+ or Sr 2+ in the rooting media, and (iii) that rhizotoxicity is a function solely of AP + activity at the root-cell membrane surface as computed by a Gouy-Chapman-Stern model. The rhizotoxicity was indifferent to the computed membranesurface Ca 2+ activity. The rhizotoxicity induced by high levels of tris(ethylenediamine)cobaltic ion (TEC3+), in contrast to A13+, was specifically relieved by Ca 2+ at the membrane surface. The rhizotoxicity induced by H + exhibited a weak specific response to Ca 2+ at the membrane surface. We conclude that the Ca2+-displacement hypothesis fails in the case of AP + rhizotoxicity and that amelioration by cations (including monovalent cations) occurs because of decreased membrane-surface negativity and the consequent decrease in the membrane-surface activity of A13 +. However, TEC 3 +, but not AP +, may be toxic because it inhibits Ca 2+ uptake. The nature of the specific H + C a 2+ interaction is uncertain.
