Salicylic acid and methyl jasmonate improve chilling tolerance in cold-stored lemon fruit (Citrus limon)

Chilling injury (CI) is associated with the degradation of membrane integrity which can be aligned to phenolic oxidation activated by polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD), enzymes responsible for tissue browning. Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) is a further enzyme prominent in the phenolic metabolism that is involved in acclimation against chilling stress. It was hypothesized that treatment with methyl jasmonate (MJ) and salicylic acid (SA) may enhance chilling tolerance in lemon fruit by increasing the synthesis of total phenolics and PAL by activating the key enzyme regulating the shikimic acid pathway whilst inhibiting the activity of POD and PPO. Lemon fruit were treated with 10 μM MJ, 2 mM SA or 10 μM MJ plus 2 mM SA, waxed, stored at −0.5, 2 or 4.5 °C for up to 28 days plus 7 days at 23 °C. Membrane integrity was studied by investigating membrane permeability and the degree of membrane lipid peroxidation in lemon flavedo following cold storage. The 10 μM MJ plus 2 mM SA treatment was most effective in enhancing chilling tolerance of lemon fruit, significantly reducing chilling-induced membrane permeability and membrane lipid peroxidation of lemon flavedo tissue. This treatment also increased total phenolics and PAL activity in such tissue while inhibiting POD activity, the latter possibly contributing to the delay of CI manifestation. PPO activity was found to be a poor biochemical marker of CI. Treatment with 10 μM MJ plus 2 mM SA resulted in an alteration of the phenolic metabolism, enhancing chilling tolerance, possibly through increased production of total phenolics and the activation of PAL and inhibition of POD.

Effect of heat shock on browning-related enzymes in minimally processed iceberg lettuce and crude extracts

The effects of heat shock on PPO and POD activity in minimally processed Iceberg lettuce was examined during storage (10 days). The results were compared with the effect of temperature on crude extracts of these enzymes (in vitro analysis). Fresh-cut lettuce washed at 50 degrees C showed significantly lower PPO and POD activity throughout storage than lettuce washed at 4 degrees C and 25 degrees C. These results were consistent with a sensory analysis in which the panellists found the lowest browning scores in those samples treated at 50 degrees C.When PPO and POD were analysed in vitro, the samples treated at 50 degrees C showed a rapid loss of POD activity and a similar but slower loss of PPO activity in all tissues, while incubation at 4 degrees C and 25 degrees C showed no significant loss of activity. While heat shock did not lead to significant loss of activity it did repress the synthesis of PPO and POD during storage.

Physiological and cytological mechanisms of silicon-induced resistance in rice against blast disease

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) blast disease caused by Magnaporthe grisea is one of the most destructive diseases in the rice-growing areas of the world. Silicon is an important nutritional element especially for rice. Two near-isogenic lines of rice with different resistance to blast disease, i.e. CO39 (susceptible) and C101LAC (Pi-1) (resistant), were selected to determine the effects of Si amendment on the severity and incidence of rice blast disease. The physiological and cytological mechanisms involved in the induced disease resistance by silicon were investigated. Exogenous Si application at a concentration of 2 mM reduced the disease index by 45% for CO39 and 56% for C101LAC (Pi-1). Si application alone did not change lignin content and the activities of defense-related enzymes including peroxidase (POD), polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) in rice leaves of both isogenic lines. However, after inoculation with M. grisea, Si-treated rice plants significantly increased the activities of POD, PPO and PAL in leaves of both isogenic lines. Si and lignin content were also significantly increased in Si-treated inoculated seedlings. Environmental scanning electron microscope observations revealed that Si amendment resulted in higher Si deposit on dumbbell bodies in the rice leaves and silicon papilla accumulation on the guard cell of stoma. These results suggest that silicon-induced defense response and cell silicification of rice leaves altogether contribute to the silicon-induced rice resistance to blast disease.     

Olive (Olea europaea L.) freezing tolerance related to antioxidant enzymes activity during cold acclimation and non acclimation

The changes in the antioxidant enzymes activity, total protein and proline content and their correlations with freezing tolerance (FT) (expressed as LT₅₀) were investigated at 11 different olive cultivars at cold-acclimation (CA, in February) and non-acclimation (NA, in August) stages. Leaf samples were collected from each cultivar and were divided into two groups. The first group was immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen for further biochemical analysis. The second ones was subjected to different freezing temperatures (?5, ?10, ?15 and ?20 °C) for 10 h, in order to determine their FT. The unfrozen control samples were kept at 4 °C. The results showed that Fishomi, Mission and Shengeh were the most freezing tolerant among other cultivars. In contrast, Zard, Manzanilla and Amigdalolia were the most sensitive ones. The cold acclimation enhanced the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), catalase (CAT), polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and total protein content. However, proline content and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activity did not change or even decreased slightly at CA stage, compare to those samples at NA stage. It was found that LT₅₀ to be closely correlated to POD, CAT, and PPO activity at CA and NA stages. Overall, higher leaf POD, CAT, and PPO activity could be used as important selection criteria in screening tolerant olive cultivars for cold zone climatic.     

龙眼果实采后失水果皮褐变与活性氧及酚类代谢的关系

研究了(10±1)℃和50%相对湿度贮藏条件下"福眼"龙眼果实果皮褐变与活性氧和酚类代谢的关系.结果表明,采后失水导致龙眼果实果皮褐变,果皮活性氧清除酶SOD、CAT、APX、GR活性和内源抗氧化物质AsA、GSH含量下降,O-2产生速率和MDA含量增加,细胞膜透性迅速增大;PPO和POD活性增加,总酚和类黄酮含量明显下降.据此认为,果皮褐变可能是细胞的活性氧代谢失调,细胞膜结构破坏,使PPO、POD与酚类物质(含类黄酮)接触、酚类物质氧化的结果.
