Hydroponic experiments were conducted to determine the effects of aluminum (Al) on root development, shoot morphology and the nutrient composition of honeylocust seedlings (Gleditsia triacanthos L.). Seedlings were grown at pH 4 in a nutrient solution containing 0, 50, 150, 600 or 1500 microM Al. Within seven days, there were significant differences in root growth and root nutrient composition between control seedlings and seedlings grown in the presence of 150 or 600 microM Al. By day 14, significant reductions in leaf production and plant height were observed in seedlings treated with 1500 microM Al. At the lowest Al concentration, 50 microM, leaf size and expansion rates were significantly lower than in the controls. By the third week of the experiment, Ca and Mg concentrations in young leaves of the Al-treated seedlings were significantly lower than in leaves of control plants. Analysis of old leaf tissue, however, revealed no consistent pattern of nutrient concentration with Al treatment.
