The reactive oxygen intermediates (ROIs) production was studied in plants of two rice cultivars, Fernandes (CNA-1158) and Maravilha (CNA-6843-1), in the presence of aluminum. Nine days-old rice seedlings were exposed to 0 and 1 mM Al for ten days and, then, plant growth, superoxide (O2 -), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and chloroplastidic pigment contents, lipid peroxidation, gas exchange and chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters were determined. The Fernandes cultivar growth did not change with Al treatment, while in Maravilha cultivar reductions were observed in both roots and shoot. The control plants of the two cultivars showed the same content of O2 - in the two parts of the plants. Aluminum treatment caused reduction in the O2 - contents only in the roots of the Fernandes cultivar, while in the leaves the reduction occurred in both cultivars, but with higher intensity in the Fernandes cultivar. The presence of O2 - was histochemically shown in the root apices of the two rice cultivar, independent of Al treatment. This oxygen reactive species accumulated mainly in the epidermis and external cortical cells of the root apices. The H2O2 content in the roots of control plants of the Fernandes cultivar were higher than in the Maravilha cultivar. After exposure to Al, a reduction in this reactive oxygen species content was observed only in the Fernandes cultivar, which became statistically similar to that of the Maravilha cultivar. In the leaves, Al treatment reduced the H2O2 content only in the Maravilha cultivar, which became similar to that of the Fernandes cultivar. Lipid peroxidation in the roots increased with the Al treatment only in the Maravilha cultivar, becoming significantly higher than in the Fernandes cultivar. In the leaves, Al treatment did not have any effect, but the Fernandes cultivar showed larger lipid peroxidation than the Maravilha cultivar. Chlorophyll a, b, total chlorophyll and carotenoids contents increased in Fernandes cultivar, but they did not change in the Maravilha cultivar after plants exposure to aluminum. In spite of that, gas exchange and chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters were not modified by Al treatment in none of the cultivars. In the presence of Al, Fernandes cultivar showed lower superoxide and hydrogen peroxide contents, which could explain, at least partly, the smallest lipid peroxidation of its membranes and, consequently its larger growth.
