"Effects of histidine on nickel tolerance of pea (Pisum saliva L.) were investigated, to determine whether histidine participates in Ni tolerance in plants other than Ni hyper accumulation plants. Histidine content in pea increased by the treatment with Ni. In addition, exogenous histidine reduced the inhibitory effects of Ni on the growth of pea. When adding nickel after histidine (and then histidine was removed from culture medium), the effect of histidine was lower than in the case in which it was added simultaneously. Therefore, it is suggested that exogenous histidine detoxifies Ni to some extent in the culture medium and in the plant."
