We exposed the roots of nine Myrtaceae species (Melaleuca bracteataF. Muell.,Melaleuca cajuputiPowell,Melaleuca glomerataF. Muell.,Melaleuca leucadendra[L.] L.,Melaleuca quinquenervia[Cav.] S.T. Blake,Melaleuca viridifloraSol. ex Gaertner,Eucalyptus camaldulensisDehnh.,Eucalyptus degluptaBl., andEucalyptus grandisW. Hill ex Maiden) to 1 mM Al in a nutrient solution for either 24 h or 20 days to evaluate their sensitivity to excess Al and to determine whether callose and lignin formation can be used as interspecific indicators of Al sensitivity. Inhibition of root elongation by Al varied among the species.Melaleuca leucadendra, M. cajuputi, E. grandis, M. quinquenervia, andE. degluptawere tolerant to 1 mM Al, whereasM.viridiflora, E. camaldulensis, M. glomerata, andM. bracteatawere sensitive to 1 mM Al. We found that Al induced callose formation in the root tips of each species, but lignin was formed only in the root tips of the most sensitive species,M. bracteata. Root elongation at 1 mM Al was negatively correlated with Al-induced callose formation but not with the Al-induced lignin formation in the root tips. These results suggest that Al-induced callose formation, rather than lignin formation, can be used as an interspecific indicator of Al sensitivity.
