| Abstract: | This study was carried out to evaluation of some nutrients accumulation including Ni (nickel), Fe (iron), Mg (magnesium), Cu (copper), Ca (calcium) as well as Ni translocation factor (TF) in three tomato cultivars grown hydroponically under treatments including L-histidine (His) and calcium chloride (CaCl2) (300 µM) exposed to nickel (II) sulfate (NiSO4) (150 and 300 µM) by ICP-OES (inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy) analysis. Tomato cultivars included Cal-J N3, Early Urbana Y and. Results indicated that shoot Ni accumulation increased under Ni stress. Ca and His reduced root, shoot Ni content and Ni TF (translocation factor) under Ni stress in Petoearly CH cultivar. Ni stress also decreased root and shoot Ca, Fe, Mg and Cu while Ca and His improved the nutrients uptake, and inhibited Ni accumulation. Therefore, Ca and His alleviated adverse effects of Ni stress on nutrients in Petoearly CH cultivar. Beside, Ca and His interaction alleviate Ni stress by inhibition of Ni uptake and translocation as well as plant nutrition improvement in the tomato plants. |
