Abstract: Apoptosis in detached corn root cap cells under fluorescent microscope was studied. A pair of homokaryon(CB37 and B37)inbred lines in maize was tested and the detached corn root cap cells might be using acridine orange staining. Apoptosis was found under fluorescence microscope treated by fihrated culture fluid of HMC toxin. The sensitivity of HMC toxin to C cytoplasm was greater than N cytoplasm, so that the quantity of the apoptosis was great more in the detached corn root cap cells with C cytoplasm than with N cytoplasm. Besides, apoptosis was not found in the CK. These indicated that special disease response occurred in the course of apoptosis in detached corn root cap cells of C cytoplasm maize led by HMC.
