Title: EFFECTS OF KANAMYCIN ON GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA SEEDLING AND ITS ROOT
Abstract: In this article, it was found that growth and development of main root and lateral root of Arabidopsis thaliana seedling were evidently affected by kanamycin, and etiolation of Arabidopsis thaliana seedling was very serious. Compared to the controls, main root of Arabidopsis thaliana seedling on MS with kanamycin was very short, lateral root was not formed, and meristematic zone of root tip diminished and exhibited large intercellular space. Furthermore, effect of kanamycin on root tip of Arabidopsis thaliana seedling exhibited reversible, but the reversibility in elongation of main root was not obvious. Accordingly, it is presumed that kanamycin might have effects on photosynthesis of Arabidopsis thaliana seedling and supply of nutriment by influencing growth of seedling leaves, and then restrain growth and development of its main root and lateral root.
