Effect of exogenous 24-epibrassinolide on chlorophyll fluorescence,leaf surface morphology and cellular ultrastructure of grape seedlings (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Vitis vinifera</Emphasis> L.) under water stress

The effects of 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) on chlorophyll fluorescence, leaf surface morphology and cellular ultrastructure of grape seedlings (Vitis vinifera L.) under water stress were investigated. The grape seedlings were subjected to 10 % (w/v) polyethylene glycol (PEG-6000) and treated with 0.05, 0.10 or 0.20 mg L^?1 EBR, respectively. EBR application increased chlorophyll contents, the effective photochemical quantum yield of PSII, maximum photochemical efficiency of PSII, maximal fluorescence and non-photochemical quenching coefficient under water stress in each concentration. Compared with water stress control, higher stomatal density and stomatal length were observed in young leaves under EBR treatments, but not in mature leaves. In-depth analysis of the ultrastructure of leaves indicated that water stress induced disappearance of nucleus, chloroplast swelling, fractured mitochondrial cristae and disorder of thylakoid arrangement both in young leaves and mature leaves. However, EBR application counteracted the detrimental effects of water stress on the structure of the photosynthetic apparatus better in young leaves than in mature leaves. Compared to the other treatments, treatment of 0.10 mg L^?1 EBR had best ameliorative effect against water stress. These results suggested that exogenous EBR could alleviate water stress-induced inhibition of photosynthesis on grape possibly through increasing chlorophyll content, lessening the stomatal and non-stomatal limitation of photosynthesis performance.     

Amelioration of salt-induced oxidative stress in eggplant by application of 24-epibrassinolide

The effects of exogenous 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) on the growth, oxidative damage, antioxidant system and ion contents in eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) seedlings under salt stress were investigated. Eggplant seedlings were exposed to 90 mM NaCl with 0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.10 and 0.20 mg dm⁻³ EBR for 10 d. EBR, especially at concentration 0.05 mg dm⁻³, alleviated growth suppression caused by NaCl stress, decreased electrolyte leakage, superoxide production and content of malondialdehyde and H₂O₂ in NaCl-treated plants. EBR also increased activities of superoxide dismutase, guaiacol peroxidase, catalase and ascorbate peroxidase and the contents of ascorbic acid and reduced glutathione. Furthermore, we also found that Na⁺, Cl⁻ contents were decreased, K⁺, Ca²⁺ contents and K⁺/Na⁺, Ca²⁺/Na⁺ ratios were increased in the presence of EBR under salt stress.     

24-Epibrassinolide alleviated zinc-induced oxidative stress in radish (Raphanus sativus L.) seedlings by enhancing antioxidative system

This article encompasses the results on the effects of 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) on the changes in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and activities of antioxidative enzymes in radish (Raphanus sativus L.) seedlings subjected to zinc (Zn) stress. Zn toxicity resulted in significant enhancement in the level of membrane lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, contents of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and hydroxyl radical (^·OH), the production rate of superoxide radicals (O ₂ ^·? ) and the activities of lipoxygenase and NADPH oxidase in radish seedlings indicating the induction of oxidative stress. However, Zn-mediated enhancement in indices of oxidative stress was considerably decreased by EBR treatment. EBR application enhanced the activities of catalase, superoxide dismutase, guaiacol peroxidase, glutathione peroxidase, and peroxidase in radish seedlings under Zn stress. EBR treatment reduced the activity of ascorbic acid oxidase in Zn stressed seedlings. Further, EBR application also enhanced the free proline and phenol levels under Zn stress. From the results obtained in this study, it can be inferred that EBR application alleviated oxidative damage caused by over production of ROS through the up regulation of antioxidative capacity in Zn stressed radish seedlings.

Responses of the antioxidant defense system to drought stress in the leaves of Fargesia denudata seedlings,the staple food of the giant panda

The responses of the antioxidant defense system in plant species to drought stress are still relatively unknown. In order to further understand how the system responds to drought stress, the leaves of Fargesia denudata seedlings were investigated. Antioxidant enzyme activities, antioxidant contents, hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), superoxide anion (O ₂ ^·? ) and MDA contents in the seedling leaves were measured under well-watered (WW), moderate drought-stressed (MD), and severe drought-stressed (SD) treatments. Although drought stress significantly increased H₂O₂ and O ₂ ^·? levels in F. denudata leaves, only weak lipid peroxidation was observed. This is attributed to the higher superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), glutathione reductase (GR), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), and dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR) activities in F. denudata leaves during the entire drought period. Reduced and oxidized ascorbate (AsA and DHA) contents were almost not affected by drought except that DHA under SD showed an obvious increase on day 30. Furthermore, reduced glutathione (GSH) content under drought stress significantly decreased, while oxidized glutathione (GSSG) markedly increased under SD on days 30 and 45 as well as under MD on day 30; as a result, the ratio GSH/GSSG declined considerably. These results indicated that GSH was involved in scavenging H₂O₂ and O ₂ ^·? under drought stress and it was more sensitive to drought stress in scavenging H₂O₂ and O ₂ ^·? than AsA. As a result, a highly efficient antioxidant defense system in drought-stressed F. denudate leaves operated mainly through the synergistic functioning of SOD, CAT, APX, MDHAR, DHAR, GR, and GSH against oxidative damage.     

Selenium improves recovery of wheat seedlings at rewatering after drought stress

Rewatering after drought is beneficial to plants subjected to moderate drought stress, and selenium (Se) could increase the tolerance of plants to stressful environment. The role of Se in rewatering of drought-treated wheat seedlings (Triticum aestivum L., cv Hengmai5229) was studied. The objective was to elucidate whether Se could improve recovery of wheat seedlings at rewatering after drought stress. Drought stress induced a significant reduction in growth parameters, total chlorophyll and soluble protein contents, and increased the rate of superoxide radical (O ₂ ^·? ) production, MDA content, and the activities of peroxidase, catalase (CAT), and superoxide dismutase in wheat seedlings. Rewatering after drought did not significantly affect biomass accumulation of seedlings over drought treatment, although it decreased the rate of O ₂ ^·? production and MDA content. However, the combined treatment of rewatering and Se evidently promoted biomass accumulation of seedlings over drought treatment and rewatering alone; and the rate of O ₂ ^·? production, MDA content, soluble protein content and CAT activity were recovered to the control values. This indicates that Se improved recovery of wheat seedlings at rewatering after drought stress.     

Pretreatment with 5-aminolevulinic acid mitigates heat stress of cucumber leaves

Cucumber seedlings were pretreated with 3 μM 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) followed by cultivation at normal (25/18 °C) or high (42/38 °C) day/night temperature to investigate the protective effects of ALA on heat stress in plants. Heat elevated the contents of malondiadehyde (MDA), superoxide radical (O₂ ^.−) and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) in leaves of all plants but less in ALA-pretreated plants. Heat treatment resulted in higher antioxidant enzyme activities and proline and soluble sugar contents and weaker growth inhibition in ALA-pretreated plants than in those treated with heat alone. These results indicate that ALA pretreatment increased the tolerance of seedlings to heat stress.     

高温干旱复合胁迫对构树幼苗抗氧化酶活性和活性氧代谢的影响

近年来,全球气温不断升高,亚热带部分地区夏季高温和临时性干旱现象日益显著,高温与干旱严重威胁着植物的生存与生长。采用盆栽和人工气候室方式模拟不同的温度和土壤水分梯度,研究了高温与干旱复合胁迫对构树幼苗超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)与过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性、活性氧代谢和丙二醛(MDA)含量的影响。结果表明:(1)高温或干旱单一胁迫下,构树幼苗SOD、POD、CAT活性增加,复合胁迫下,SOD和POD酶活性高于单一胁迫,且随着复合胁迫时间延长而升高。SOD活性受温度和土壤水分双因素影响极其显著,复合胁迫对SOD活性有一定程度的叠加效应;(2)复合胁迫下,活性氧代谢物与MDA含量均显著高于单一胁迫,表明复合胁迫加剧对植物的伤害。通过改变抗氧化酶活性以减轻膜脂过氧化的伤害作用是有限的。
