Hydrogen peroxide pretreatment of roots enhanced oxidative stress response of tomato under cold stress

In the view of physiological role of H₂O₂, we investigated whether exogenous H₂O₂ application would affect short-term cold response of tomato and induce acclimation. Pretreatments were performed by immersing roots into 1 mM H₂O₂ solution for 1 h when transferring seedlings from seedling substrate to soil (acclimated group). Cold stress (3 °C for 16 h) caused significant reduction in relative water content (RWC) of control and non-acclimated (distilled water treated) groups when compared with unstressed plants. H₂O₂ promoted maintenance of relatively higher RWC under stress. Anthocyanin level in leaves of acclimated plants under cold stress was significantly higher than that of unstressed control and non-acclimated plants. Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels demonstrated low temperature induced oxidative damage to control and non-acclimated plants. MDA remained around unstressed conditions in acclimated plants, which demonstrate that H₂O₂ acclimation protected tissues against cold induced lipid peroxidation. H₂O₂ acclimation caused proline accumulation in roots under cold stress. Ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity in roots of cold stressed and unstressed H₂O₂ acclimated plants increased when compared with control and non-acclimated plants, with highest increase in roots of acclimated plants under cold stress. CAT levels in roots of acclimated plants also increased, whereas levels remained unchanged in unstressed plants. Endogenous H₂O₂ levels significantly increased in roots of control and non-acclimated plants under cold stress. On the other hand, H₂O₂ content in roots of acclimated plants was significantly lower than control and non-acclimated plants under cold stress. The results presented here demonstrated that H₂O₂ significantly enhanced oxidative stress response by elevating the antioxidant status of tomato.     

Acclimation of entomopathogenic nematodes to novel temperatures: trehalose accumulation and the acquisition of thermotolerance

The effect of thermal acclimation on trehalose accumulation and the acquisition of thermotolerance was studied in three species of entomopathogenic nematodes adapted to either cold or warm temperatures. All three Steinernema species accumulated trehalose when acclimated at either 5 or 35 degrees C, but the amount of trehalose accumulation differed by species and temperature. The trehalose content of the cold adapted Steinernema feltiae increased by 350 and 182%, of intermediate Steinernema carpocapsae by 146 and 122% and of warm adapted Steinernema riobrave by 30 and 87% over the initial level (18.25, 27.24 and 23.97 microg trehalose/mg dry weight, respectively) during acclimation at 5 and 35 degrees C, respectively. Warm and cold acclimation enhanced heat (40 degrees C for 8h) and freezing (-20 degrees C for 4h) tolerance of S. carpocapsae and the enhanced tolerance was positively correlated with the increased trehalose levels. Warm and cold acclimation also enhanced heat but not freezing tolerance of S. feltiae and the enhanced heat tolerance was positively correlated with the increased trehalose levels. In contrast, warm and cold acclimation enhanced the freezing but not heat tolerance of S. riobrave, and increased freezing tolerance of only warm acclimated S. riobrave was positively correlated with the increased trehalose levels. The effect of acclimation on maintenance of original virulence by either heat or freeze stressed nematodes against the wax moth Galleria mellonella larvae was temperature dependent and differed among species. During freezing stress, both cold and warm acclimated S. carpocapsae (84%) and during heat stress, only warm acclimated S. carpocapsae (95%) maintained significantly higher original virulence than the non-acclimated (36 and 47%, respectively) nematodes. Both cold and warm acclimated S. feltiae maintained significantly higher original virulence (69%) than the non-acclimated S. feltiae (0%) during heat but not freezing stress. In contrast, both warm and cold acclimated S. riobrave maintained significantly higher virulence (41%) than the non-acclimated (14%) nematodes during freezing, but not during heat stress. Our data indicate that trehalose accumulation is not only a cold associated phenomenon but is a general response of nematodes to thermal stress. However, the extent of enhanced thermal stress tolerance conferred by the accumulated trehalose differs with nematode species.     

Suppression of phospholipase Dalpha1 induces freezing tolerance in Arabidopsis: response of cold-responsive genes and osmolyte accumulation

Phospholipase D (PLD; EC 3.1.4.4) plays an important role in membrane lipid hydrolysis and in mediation of plant responses to a wide range of stresses. PLDalpha1 abrogation through antisense suppression in Arabidopsis thaliana resulted in a significant increase in freezing tolerance of both non-acclimated and cold-acclimated plants. Although non-acclimated PLDalpha1-deficient plants did not show the activation of cold-responsive C-repeat/dehydration-responsive element binding factors (CBFs) and their target genes (COR47 and COR78), they did accumulate osmolytes to much higher levels than did the non-acclimated wild-type plants. However, a stronger expression of COR47 and COR78 in response to cold acclimation and to especially freezing was observed in PLDalpha1-deficient plants. Furthermore, a slower activation of CBF1 was observed in response to cold acclimation in these plants compared to the wild-type plants. Typically, cold acclimation resulted in a higher accumulation of osmolytes in PLDalpha1-deficient plants than in wild-type plants. Inhibition of PLD activity by using lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LPE) also increased freezing tolerance of Arabidopsis, albeit to a lesser extent than did the PLD antisense suppression. Exogenous LPE induced expression of COR15a and COR47 in the absence of cold stimulus. These results suggest that PLDalpha1 plays a key role in freezing tolerance of Arabidopsis by modulating the cold-responsive genes and accumulation of osmolytes.

Change in antioxidant responses against oxidative damage in black chickpea following cold acclimation

Cold stress is an important factor affecting chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) plants in winter and early spring. We evaluated the effects of cold stress by measuring lipid peroxidation, membrane permeability, and some enzyme activities involved in the ROS-scavenging system under acclimation and non-acclimation conditions in black chickpea Kaka, a popular genotype planted, and accession 4322, as a landrace genotype. Under non-acclimation conditions, the genotype 4322 prevented the H₂O₂ accumulation more efficiently, which led to a decrease in lipid peroxidation and membrane permeability compared to Kaka. Studying the activities of antioxidant enzymes showed that catalase was more effective enzyme in cell protection against H₂O₂ in 4322 plants. Such response in acclimated plants was more pronounced than in control and nonacclimated plants. In this study, the increase in guaiacol peroxidase and ascorbate peroxidase activities did not preserve cell membranes from oxidative damage in Kaka plants. It was observed that short-term acclimation can induce greater cold tolerance upon the increase of oxidative stress in chickpea plants. This was due to low levels of MDA and electrolyte leakage index, indicating the lower lipid peroxidation and higher membrane stability under the cold stress compared to non-acclimated plants.     

Drought acclimation confers oxidative stress tolerance by inducing co-ordinated antioxidant defense at cellular and subcellular level in leaves of wheat seedlings

Wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) seedlings of a drought-resistant cv. C306 were subjected to severe water deficit directly or through stress cycles of increasing intensity with intermittent recovery periods (drought acclimation). The antioxidant defense in terms of redox metabolites and enzymes in leaf cells, chloroplasts, and mitochondria was examined in relation to ROS-induced membrane damage. Drought-acclimated seedlings modulated growth by maintaining favorable turgor potential and RWC and were able to limit H₂O₂ accumulation and membrane damage as compared with non-acclimated plants during severe water stress conditions. This was due to systematic upregulation of H₂O₂-metabolizing enzymes especially ascorbate peroxidase (APX, EC 1.11.1.11) and by maintaining ascorbate–glutathione redox pool in acclimated plants. By contrast, failure in the induction of APX and ascorbate–glutathione cycle enzymes makes the chloroplast susceptible to oxidative stress in non-acclimated plants. Non-acclimated plants protected the leaf mitochondria from oxidative stress by upregulating superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC 1.15.1.1), APX, and glutathione reductase (GR, EC 1.6.4.2) activities. Rewatering led to rapid enhancement in all the antioxidant defense components in non-acclimated plants, which suggested that the excess levels of H₂O₂ during severe water stress conditions might have inhibited or downregulated the antioxidant enzymes. Hence, drought acclimation conferred enhanced oxidative stress tolerance by well-co-ordinated induction of antioxidant defense both at the chloroplast and at the mitochondrial level.     

The influence of cold acclimation on antioxidative enzymes and antioxidants in sensitive and tolerant barley cultivars

In order to better understand the role of cold acclimation in alleviating freezing injury, two barley cultivars with different cold tolerance, i.e. a sensitive cv. Chumai 1 and a tolerant cv. Mo 103, were used. The freezing treatment increased leaf soluble protein content more in the tolerant cultivar than in the sensitive one. Cold acclimation increased H₂O₂ content of the two cultivars during freezing treatment, especially in Mo 103. Glutathione and ascorbate contents during freezing and recovery were significantly higher in cold-acclimated plants than in non-acclimated ones. Activities of peroxidase, ascorbate peroxidase and glutathione reductase were also higher in cold-acclimated plants than non-acclimated plants during freezing treatment. However, there was no significant difference between cold-acclimated plants and the control plants in catalase activity. It may be assumed that cold acclimation induced H₂O₂ production, which in turn enhanced activities of antioxidative enzymes and synthesis of antioxidants, resulting in alleviation of oxidative stress caused by freezing.     

Changes of Ca2+ -ATPase Activities in Cell of Rice Seed lings During the Enhancement of Chilling Resistance Induced by Cold and Salt Pretreatment

The changes of Ca2+ -ATPase activities of plasmolemma, and tonoplast membrane in roots and leaf chloroplasts in rice ( Oryza sativa L. ) seedlings were investigated for exploring the mechanism of cross adaptation to different stresses in the plants during the enhancement of chilling resistance induced by cold and salt pretreatment. The results indicated that the chilling resistance of rice seedlings was enhanced markedly by cold and salt pretreatment, but this enhancement was inhibited by Ca2+-chelate ethyleneglycol-bis-(β-aminoethyl ether) N, N-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) and the calmodulin inhibitor chlorpromazine (CPZ), it showed the calcium messenger system was involved in the course of chilling resistance formation. The Ca2+ -ATPase activity of root plasmolemma and tonoplast membrane as well as the Fe(CN)63- reduction in root plasmolemma in nonpretreated seedlings were declined markedly during the chilling stress. The Ca2+ -ATPase activities of plasmolemma, tonoplast membrane and chloroplasts as well as the Fe(CN)63- reduction of plasmolemma were enhanced by cold pretreatment. The activities of Ca2+ -ATPase and Fe(CN)63- reduction of plasmolemma, as compared with nonpretreated seedlings has increased by 86.80% and 93.93% respectively. The effect of salt pretreatmerit on the Ca2+ -ATPase activities of plasmolemma and chloroplast as well as Fe(CN)63- reduction of plasmolemma were similar to the effect of cold pretreatment. Although the Ca2+ -ATPase activity of tonoplast membrane was declined by salt pretreatment, the activity was none the less markedly higher than that of the nonpretreated seedlings. It showed that there was stronger ability of maintaining calcium homeostasis in the seedlings following two pretreatment. The results displayed that the enhancement of chilling resistance in rice seedlings with cold and salt pretreatment might be related to the effective activation of Ca2+ -ATPase in two pretreatment seedlings, because the activated Ca2+ -ATPase could bring back rapidly the raised cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration from chilling stress to the state of calcium homeostasis, leading to the maintenance of normal functioning of the calcium messenger system and physiological metabolism. It seems that the adapated mechanism to chilling stress in two seedlings with cold and salt pretreatment was similar.
