低温胁迫对嫁接西瓜耐冷性和活性氧清除系统的影响

研究了西瓜实生苗和以黑籽南瓜、超丰F1为砧木的嫁接苗的耐冷性及活性氧清除系统的差异．结果表明,低温胁迫下,嫁接苗的耐冷性明显高于实生苗,表现为以黑籽南瓜为砧木的嫁接苗的耐冷性>以超丰F1为砧木的嫁接苗>实生苗,此外嫁接苗和实生苗均表现为叶片中叶绿素含量下降,丙二醛(MDA)含量上升,非酶促抗氧化剂抗坏血酸(AsA)、谷胱甘肽(GSH)含量和抗氧化酶超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(AsA-POD)、脱氢抗坏血酸还原酶(DR)活性下降,说明低温逆境降低了植物体防御活性氧有关的酶促和非酶促保护系统能力,提高了体内自由基浓度,加剧了膜脂过氧化．嫁接苗的活性氧清除能力均高于自根苗,且嫁接苗中耐冷性越强的活性氧清除能力越高,说明西瓜嫁接后耐冷性的提高是与植物体内活性氧清除系统中抗氧化剂含量和抗氧化酶活性提高有关。

Arsenic induced oxidative stress in plants

Arsenic is a highly toxic metalloid for all forms of life including plants. Arsenic enters in the plants through phosphate transporters as a phosphate analogue or through aquaglycoporins. Uptake of arsenic in plant tissues adversely affects the plant metabolism and leads to various physiological and structural disorders. Photosynthetic apparatus, cell division machinery, energy production, and redox status are the major section of plant system that are badly affected by As (V). Similarly As (III) can react with thiol (-SH) groups of enzymes and inhibits various metabolic processes. Arsenic is also known to induce oxidative stress directly by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) during conversion of its valence forms or indirectly by inactivating antioxidant molecules through binding with their -SH groups. As-mediated oxidative stress causes cellular, molecular and physiological disturbances in various plant species. Activation of enzymatic antioxidants namely, superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), catalase (CAT) and glutathione reductase (GR), Glutathione s-transferase, glutathione peroxidase (GPX) as well as non antioxidant compounds such as, ascorbate, glutathione, carotenoids are reported to neutralize arsenic mediated oxidative stress. Understanding of biochemistry of arsenic toxicity would be beneficial for the development of arsenic tolerant crops and other economically important plants.     

Impact of iron toxicity on oxidative metabolism in young Eugenia uniflora L. plants

In excess, iron can induce the production and accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), causing oxidative stress. The objective of this work was to evaluate the impact of toxic concentrations of iron (Fe) on the antioxidative metabolism of young Eugenia uniflora plants. Forty-five-day-old plants grown in Hoagland nutrient solution, pH 5.0, were treated with three Fe concentrations, in the form of FeEDTA, during three periods of time. At the end of the treatment, the plants were harvested and relative growth rate, iron content, lipid peroxidation and enzymes and metabolites of the antioxidative metabolism were determined. Iron-treated plants showed higher iron contents, reduced relative growth rates and iron toxicity symptoms in both leaves and roots. There was an increase in lipid peroxidation with increasing Fe, only in the leaves. The enzymatic activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione reductase (GR) increased with increasing Fe concentration and treatment exposure time. The activities of catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POX) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) also increased with increasing Fe concentration but decreased with increasing treatment exposure time. Glutathione peroxidase activity (GPX) decreased with increasing Fe concentration and exposure time. The ascorbate (AA) and reduced glutathione (GSH) contents and the AA/DHA and GSH/GSSG ratios, in general, increased with increasing Fe concentration and treatment exposure time. The results indicate that under toxic levels of Fe, young E. uniflora plants suffer increased oxidative stress, which is ameliorated through changes in the activities of antioxidative enzymes and in the contents of the antioxidants AA and GSH.     

5-Aminolevulinic acid ameliorates salinity-induced metabolic, water-related and biochemical changes in Brassica napus L.

A number of studies have established that plant growth and development in oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) are hampered by salinity stress. Nowadays, researchers have focused on the use of plant growth regulators to increase plant tolerance against salinity. An experiment was performed to evaluate the effects of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA, 30 mg l^?1) on Brassica napus L. (cv. ??ZS 758??) plants under NaCl (100, 200 mM) salinity. Data presented here were recorded on two different leaf positions (first and third) to have a better understanding of the ameliorative role of ALA on NaCl-stressed oilseed rape plants. Results have shown that increasing salinity imposed negative impact on relative growth rate (root and shoot) and leaf water relations (osmotic potential and relative water content), whereas enhanced the level of relative conductivity, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, osmolytes (soluble sugar, soluble protein, free amino acid and proline) concentration, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and enzymatic (ascorbate peroxidase, guaiacol peroxidase, catalase and superoxide dismutase) and non-enzymatic (reduced glutathione and ascorbate) antioxidants activity in two different leaf position samples. Foliar application of ALA improved relative growth rate (root and shoot) and leaf water relations (osmotic potential and relative water content), and also triggered the further accumulation of osmolytes (soluble sugar, soluble protein, free amino acid and proline) as well as enzymatic (ascorbate peroxidase, guaiacol peroxidase, catalase and superoxide dismutase) and non-enzymatic (reduced glutathione and ascorbate) antioxidants activity in both leaf samples, whereas decreased the membrane permeability, MDA content and ROS production. Our results also indicate that osmolytes are preferentially accumulated in younger tissues.     

Overexpression of a Chloroplast-located Peroxiredoxin Q Gene, SsPrxQ, Increases the Salt and Low-temperature Tolerance of Arabidopsis

Ablotlc stress, such as salt, drought and extreme temperature, can result in enhanced production of reactive oxygen species （ROS）. Plants have developed both enzymatic ROS-scavenging and non-enzymatic ROS-scavenging systems. The major ROS-scavenging enzymes of plants include superoxide dismutase （SOD）, ascorbate peroxldaae （APX）, catalaae （CAT）, glutathione peroxldaae （GPX） and peroxiredoxina （Prxa）. In the present work, we identified a gene encoding chloroplast-located peroxiredoxin Q, SsPrxQ, from Suaeda salsa L. located at chloroplast. Overexpression of SsPrxQ In Arabidopsis leads to an increase In salt and low-temperature tolerance.     

Endophytic bacterium Bacillus subtilis (BERA 71) improves salt tolerance in chickpea plants by regulating the plant defense mechanisms

Plant growth-promoting endophytic bacteria can stimulate the growth, nutrient acquisition, symbiotic performance and stress tolerance of chickpea plants under saline soil conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the stress-adaptive mechanisms of chickpea plants mediated by Bacillus subtilis (BERA 71) under saline conditions. Inoculation with BERA 71 enhanced plant biomass and the synthesis of photosynthetic pigments and reduced the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation in plants under conditions of stress. Furthermore, the activities of ROS-scavenging antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, catalase and glutathione reductase), the levels of non-enzymatic antioxidants (ascorbic acid and glutathione) and the total phenol content were increased in stressed plants during bacterial association. The bacteria decreased sodium accumulation and enhanced the nitrogen, potassium, calcium and magnesium content in the plants. The suppression of ROS generation and of lipid peroxidation and the accumulation of proline in BERA-71-inoculated plants enhanced the membrane stability under salinity stress and non-stress conditions.     

Pre treatment with Bacillus subtilis mitigates drought induced photo-oxidative damages in okra by modulating antioxidant system and photochemical activity

Growth promoting potential of Bacillus subtilis (BS) in drought stressed Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench (okra) was assessed by measuring the chlorophyll stability index (CSI), chlorophyll a (Chl-a) fluorescence, leaf osmotic potential and lipid peroxidation by malondialdehyde content, emission of reactive oxygen species (ROS), osmolyte content and the activity of non-enzyme and enzyme antioxidants. BS treatment significantly increased the leaf osmotic potential, osmolyte production and the activity of non-enzyme and enzyme antioxidants under drought stress. BS treatment mitigated the drought-induced reduction in Chl a fluorescence and CSI. Concomitant increase in total sugar, proline, non-enzyme antioxidants [glutathione and ascorbate] and enzyme antioxidants like superoxide dismutase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, glutathione reductase, monodehydroascorbate reductase and dehydroascorbate reductase modulate the intracellular ROS concentration in okra to resist the stress induced oxidative damage in BS treated plants led to fast recovery and less photodamage.Supplementary InformationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12298-021-00982-8.     

Antioxidant defense responses: physiological plasticity in higher plants under abiotic constraints

Environmental stresses (salinity, drought, heat/cold, light and other hostile conditions) may trigger in plants oxidative stress, generating the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). These species are partially reduced or activated derivatives of oxygen, comprising both free radical and non-radical (H₂O₂) forms, leading to cellular damage, metabolic disorders and senescence processes. In order to overcome oxidative stress, plants have developed two main antioxidants defense mechanisms that can be classified as non-enzymatic and enzymatic systems. The first class (non-enzymatic) consists of small molecules such as vitamin (A, C and E), glutathione, carotenoids and phenolics that can react directly with the ROS by scavenging them. Second class is represented by enzymes among them superoxide dismutase, peroxidase and catalase which have the capacity to eliminate superoxide and hydrogen peroxide. In this review, we have tried to explore the related works, which have revealed the changes in the basic antioxidant metabolism of plants under various abiotic constraints.     

Manganese-excess induces oxidative stress,lowers the pool of antioxidants and elevates activities of key antioxidative enzymes in rice seedlings

Manganese (Mn) is an essential element for plant growth but in excess, specially in acidic soils, it can become phytotoxic. In order to investigate whether oxidative stress is associated with the expression of Mn toxicity during early seedling establishment of rice plants, we examined the changes in the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS), oxidative stress induced an alteration in the level of non-enzymic antioxidants and activities of antioxidative enzymes in rice seedlings grown in sand cultures containing 3 and 6 mM MnCl₂. Mn treatment inhibited growth of rice seedlings, the metal increasingly accumulated in roots and shoots and caused damage to membranes. Mn treated plants showed increased generation of superoxide anion (O₂ ^.−), elevated levels of H₂O₂ and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and decline in protein thiol. The level of nonprotein thiol, however, increased due to Mn treatment. A decline in contents of reduced ascorbate (AsA) and glutathione (GSH) as well as decline in ratios of their reduced to oxidize forms was observed in Mn-treated seedlings. The activities of antioxidative enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and its isoforms Mn SOD, Cu/Zn SOD, Fe SOD as well as guaiacol peroxidase (GPX) increased in the seedlings due to Mn treatment however, catalase (CAT) activity increased in 10 days old seedlings but it declined by 20 days under Mn treatment. The enzymes of Halliwell-Asada cycle, ascorbate peroxidase (APX) monodehydoascorbate reductase (MDHAR), dehyroascorbate reductase (DHAR) and glutathione reductase (GR) increased significantly in Mn treated seedlings over controls. Results suggest that in rice seedlings excess Mn induces oxidative stress, imbalances the levels of antioxidants and the antioxidative enzymes SOD, GPX, APX and GR appear to play an important role in scavenging ROS and withstanding oxidative stress induced by Mn.     

Effects of Cadmium,Chromium and Lead on Growth,Metal Uptake and Antioxidative Capacity in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Typha angustifolia</Emphasis>

This study investigates the modulation of antioxidant defence system of Typha angustifolia after 30 days exposure of 1 mM chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), or lead (Pb). T. angustifolia showed high tolerance to heavy metal toxicity with no visual toxic symptom when exposed to metal stress, and Cd/Pb addition also increased plant height and biomass especially in Pb treatment. Along with increased Cr, Cd, and Pb uptake in metal treatments, there was enhanced uptake of plant nutrients including Ca and Fe, and Zn in Pb treatment. A significant increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) content and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) activities were recorded in plants subjected to Cr, Cd, or Pb stress. Furthermore, Pb stress also improved catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activities; whereas Cr stress depressed APX and GPX. The results indicate that enzymatic antioxidants and Ca/Fe uptake were important for heavy metal detoxification in T. angustifolia, stimulated antioxidative enzymes, and Ca, Fe, and Zn uptake could partially explain its hyper-Pb tolerance.
