Abstract

The effects of MES on the growth of Arabidopsis thaliana were analyzed in this study.The Arabidopsis seedlings were cultured on the medium with and without 0.05% MES,respectively.The results showed that the levels of dry weight,fresh weight,chlorophyll content and water content of Arabidopsis seedlings grown on the medium with 0.05% MES were higher than those without MES.Moreover,the activities of PAL and POD of Arabidopsis seedlings grown on the medium with 0.05% MES was lower than those without MES.These results indicated that MES could promote the growth of Arabidopsis thaliana through keeping the pH value of medium in stabilization.

Key words： Arabidopsis thaliana; 2-(4-Morpholino) ethanesulfonic acid; growth
