| Popis: | Mechanisms to detoxify aluminium (Al) is a hot topic for cultivated plants. However, little information is known about the mechanisms used by native plants to deal with Al-toxicity. In Cerrado, some generalist mistletoe species, such as Passovia ovata (Pohl ex DC.) Kuijt and Struthanthus polyanthus Mart. can parasitize Al-accumulating and Al-excluding plant species without any clear symptoms of toxicity and mineral deficiency, while Psittacanthus robustus (Mart.) Marloth, a more specialist mistletoe, seems to be an Al-dependent species, parasitizing only Al-accumulating hosts. Here we (i) characterized the forms and compartmentalization of Al in leaves of P. robustus; (ii) compared Ca and Al leaf concentration, and leaf concentration of organic acids and polyphenols between facultative Al-accumulating (P. ovata and S. polyanthus) and Al-dependent (P. robustus) mistletoe species infecting Miconia albicans (Sw.) Steud. (Al-accumulating species). P. robustus chelated Al3+ with oxalate and stored it in the phloematic and epidermic leaf tissues. Leaf Ca and Al concentration did not differ among species. Leaf oxalate concentration was higher in the Al-dependent species. Concentrations of citrate and phenolic compounds were higher in the leaves of the facultative Al-accumulating species. These results show that facultative Al-accumulating and Al-dependent species use different mechanisms to detoxify Al. Moreover, this is the first report on a mistletoes species (P. robustus) with a potential calcifuge behaviour in Cerrado. |
