Studies on the Mechanism of Injurious Action of Fusarinic Acid on Plant-Growth, a Metabolic Product of the Causative Mould of “Bakanae” Disease fo Rice Plant

Part 7. Studies on the Elimination of Injurious Action of Fusarinic Acid on Plant-growth by Addition of Heavy Metal-ion

Abstract

We studied on the elimination of the injurious action of fusarinic acid on rice seedlings' respiration and the power of catalase and peroxidase. We found the injurious action of this acid is to be eliminated partially by thee addition of equivalent normal of Fe^... or Cu^.. and then almost all by the addition of Fe^... together with a slight amount (6/1000, 000) of Cu^.., Mg^.. and Mn^..
