Effect of glyphosate on growth and physiological index of kentucky bluegrass callus
The callus of kentucky bluegrasses (midnight Ⅱ) was cultured on MS medium which contained different concentrations of glyphosate (0,0.02,0.04,0.06,0.08 and 0.10 mmol/L).After 20 days,the callus was exploited for measuring physiological indexes (survival rate,relative growth rate,brown case,electrical conductivity,contents of MDA,soluble protein,free proline,SOD,POD and CAT).The result showed that the survival rate of the callus gradually decreased with the increase of glyphosate,but the relative growth rate increased first and then decreased.0.04 mmol/L of glyphosate concentration was the turning point.While MDA and soluble protein of critical concentrations of glyphosate was 0.06 mmol/L.The tolerable concentration of glyphosate was 0.04 mmol/L.
