Seedlings of rice (Oryza sativa L.) cv. Pant-12 grown in sand cultures containing 200 and 400 μM NiSO4, showed a decrease in length and fresh weight of roots and shoots. Nickel was readily taken up by rice seedlings and the
concentration was higher in roots than shoots. Nickel-treated seedlings showed increased rates of superoxide anion (O2
•−
) production, elevated levels of H2O2 and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) demonstrating enhanced lipid peroxidation, and a decline in protein thiol
levels indicative of increased protein oxidation compared to controls. With progressively higher Ni concentrations, non-protein
thiol and ascorbate (AsA) increased, whereas the level of low-molecular-weight thiols (such as glutathione and hydroxyl-methyl
glutathione), the ratio of these thiols to their corresponding disulphides, and the ratio of AsA to dehydroascorbic acid declined
in the seedlings. Among the antioxidant enzymes studied, the activities of all isoforms of superoxide dismutase (Cu-Zn SOD,
Mn SOD and Fe SOD), guaiacol peroxidases (GPX) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) increased in Ni-treated seedlings, while no
clear alteration in catalase activity was evident. Activity of the ascorbate-glutathione cycle enzymes monodehydroascorbate
reductase (MDHAR), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR) and glutathione reductase (GR)—significantly increased in Ni-treated
seedlings. However such increase was apparently insufficient to maintain the intracellular redox balance. Results suggest
that Ni induces oxidative stress in rice plants, resulting in enhanced lipid peroxidation and decline in protein thiol levels,
and that (hydroxyl-methyl) glutathione and AsA in conjunction with Cu-Zn SOD, GPX and APX are involved in stress response. 相似文献

The effects of Zn deficiency on antioxidant responses of two pea (Pisum sativum L.) genotypes, a Zn-efficient IPFD-99-13 and Zn-inefficient KPMR-500, grown in sand culture were studied. In the pea genotype
KPMR-500, Zn deficiency decreased dry matter yield, tissue Zn concentration, and antioxidant enzyme activities istronger than
in the genotype IPFD-99-13. Genotype IPFD-99-13 developed more efficient antioxidant system to scavenge ROS than genotype
KPMR-500. Zinc deficiency produced oxidative damage to pea genotypes due to enhanced accumulation of TBARS and H2O2 and decreased activities of antioxidant enzymes (Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), and
ascorbate peroxidase (APX)). In the leaves of IPFD-99-13 genotype, the higher activity of ROS-scavenging enzyme, e.g., SOD,
CAT, POD, and glutathione reductase, and antioxidants, such as ascorbate and non-protein thiols, led to the lower accumulation
of H2O2 and lipid peroxides. These results suggest that, by maintaining an efficient antioxidant defense system, the IPFD-99-13 genotype
shows a lower sensivity to Zn deficiency than the KPMR-500 genotype. 相似文献

The effects of 60-d cadmium (Cd) exposure on enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidative system of Oryza sativa L. seedlings at tillering stage were studied using soil culture experiment. Research findings showed that chlorophyll content of Oryza sativa L. declined with the increase in soil metal concentration. Cd pollution induced the antioxidant stress by inducing O2 ?1 and H2O2, which increased in plants; at the same time, MDA as the final product of peroxidation of membrane lipids, accumulated in plant. The antioxidant enzyme system was initiated under the Cd exposure, i.e. almost all the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and ascorbate peroxidase were elevated both in leaves and roots. The non-protein thiols including phytochelatins and glutathione to scavenge toxic free radicals caused by Cd stress was also studied. The contents of phytochelatins and glutathione were about 3.12–6.65-fold and 3.27–10.73-fold in leaves, against control; and the corresponding values were about 3.53–9.37-fold and 1.41–5.11-fold in roots, accordingly. 相似文献

We investigated the relationship between H2O2 metabolism and the senescence process using soluble fractions, mitochondria, and peroxisomes from senescent pea (Pisum sativum L.) leaves. After 11 d of senescence the activities of Mn-superoxide dismutase, dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), and glutathione reductase (GR) present in the matrix, and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR) activities localized in the mitochondrial membrane, were all substantially decreased in mitochondria. The mitochondrial ascorbate and dehydroascorbate pools were reduced, whereas the oxidized glutathione levels were maintained. In senescent leaves the H2O2 content in isolated mitochondria and the NADH- and succinate-dependent production of superoxide (O2·−) radicals by submitochondrial particles increased significantly. However, in peroxisomes from senescent leaves both membrane-bound APX and MDHAR activities were reduced. In the matrix the DHAR activity was enhanced and the GR activity remained unchanged. As a result of senescence, the reduced and the oxidized glutathione pools were considerably increased in peroxisomes. A large increase in the glutathione pool and DHAR activity were also found in soluble fractions of senescent pea leaves, together with a decrease in GR, APX, and MDHAR activities. The differential response to senescence of the mitochondrial and peroxisomal ascorbate-glutathione cycle suggests that mitochondria could be affected by oxidative damage earlier than peroxisomes, which may participate in the cellular oxidative mechanism of leaf senescence longer than mitochondria. 相似文献

In order to clarify the response of antioxidant systems in various cellular organelles to photo-oxidative stress, the activities
of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and enzymes of the ascorbate–glutathione (AsA-GSH) cycle were investigated in chloroplasts,
mitochondria and cytosol of cucumber leaves subjected to methyl viologen (MV) treatment. Photo-oxidation by MV resulted in
significant reductions in net photosynthetic rate (Pn) and increases in the ratio of the quantum efficiency of photosystem
II (PSII),
ΦPSII to that of the quantum efficiency of CO2 fixation (ΦCO2), followed by increased activities of SOD, and a general increase of AsA-GSH cycle enzymes in chloroplasts, mitochondria
and cytosol. These increases were however, most significant in chloroplasts. There were also significant increases in dehydroascorbate
(DHA), reduced glutathione (GSH), and oxidized glutathione (GSSG) except that the content of ascorbate (AsA) in chloroplasts
and cytosol was slightly decreased and little effected, respectively. However, GSSG in mitochondria and GSH in cytosol were
little influenced by the MV treatment. The activity of ascorbate oxidase (AO) in these organelles was independent of the MV
treatment while the activity of l-galactono-1,4- lactone dehydrogenase (GLDH) in mitochondria was slightly inhibited by MV treatment. These results indicate
that disturbance of electron transport in chloroplasts by MV influenced the metabolism of whole cell by a crosstalk signaling
system and that the AsA-GSH cycle played a primary role in sustaining the levels of AsA. 相似文献

Antioxidant defences of the apoplast 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Summary The apoplast of barley and oat leaves contained superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, dehydroascorbate reductase, monodehydroascorbate reductase, and glutathione reductase activities. The activities of these enzymes in the apoplastic extracts were greatly modified 24 h after inoculation with the biotrophic fungal pathogenBlumeria graminis. The quantum efficiency of photosystem II, which is related to photosynthetic electron transport flux, was comparable in inoculated and healthy leaves during this period. Apoplastic soluble acid invertase activity was also modified in inoculated leaves. Inoculation-dependent increases in apoplastic SOD activity were observed in all lines. Major bands of SOD activity, observed in apoplastic protein extracts by activity staining of gels following isoelectric focusing, were similar to those observed in whole leaves but two additional minor bands were found in the apoplastic fraction. The apoplastic extracts contained substantial amounts of dehydroascorbate (DHA) but little or no glutathione (GSH). Biotic stress decreased apoplastic ascorbate and DHA but increased apoplastic GSH in resistant lines. The antioxidant cycle enzymes may function to remove apoplastic H2O2 with ascorbate and GSH derived from the cytoplasm. DHA and oxidized glutathione may be reduced in the apoplast or returned to the cytosol for rereduction.Abbreviations AA

Senescence is a developmentally regulated and highly ordered sequence of events. Senescence leads to abscission of plant organs
and eventually leads to death of a plant or part of it. Present study revealed that Phalaenopsis flower undergo senescence due to over activation of O2
·−generating xanthine oxidase (XO), which consequently increases the concentrations of O2
·− leading to enhanced oxidative damage and disturbed cellular redox environment as indicated by increased lipid peroxidation
and DHA/AsA + DHA ratio, respectively. While activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and non-specific
peroxidase (POD) were enhanced in sepals and petals of old flower, activities of catalase (CAT) and glutathione reductase
(GR) were decreased. Exogenous application of nitric oxide (NO) retarded H2O2-induced senescence of Phalaenopsis flower by downregulating activity of XO and concentrations of O2
·−, H2O2 and malondialdehyde (MDA, an index of lipid peroxidation). Exogenous application of NO also downregulated SOD activity and
upregulated antioxidant enzymes involved in the detoxification of H2O2 (CAT and APX), and in the regulation of redox couples viz, monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR) and GR, together with the
modulation in non-protein thiol status and DHA/AsA + DHA ratio. 相似文献

Removal of reproductive ‘sink’ i.e. spikelets from wheat at anthesis delays the rate of flag leaf senescence. In this work, the antioxidant defense was studied in the flag leaf of Triticum aestivum cv. Kalyansona plants showing normal (S + plants) and delayed senescence via removal of spikelets (S? plants). This was done by measurement of metabolites and activities of enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, guaiacol peroxidase, ascorbate peroxidase, monodehydroascorbate reductase, dehydroascorbate reductase and glutathione reductase. S? plants had higher reduced glutathione/oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG) ratio and antioxidant enzyme activities than the control plants and the differences were apparent from 21 days after anthesis (DAA). The removal of the reproductive sink led to an increased antioxidant defense which may be contributing towards the delayed flag leaf senescence in wheat. Chloroplasts and mitochondria, important sources of ROS, were isolated at two stages representing early (7 DAA) and late (21 DAA) senescence. Oxidative damage to proteins was studied in these organelles in relation to SOD and APX. Mitochondria had higher levels of damaged proteins than chloroplasts at 7 DAA in both S+ and S? plants. Higher damage was related to the lower antioxidant enzyme levels of SOD and APX in mitochondria as compared to chloroplasts. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to elucidate whether exogenous spermidine (Spd) protection of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) seedlings under salinity-alkalinity stress is associated with antioxidant enzymes in the chloroplast. The effects of exogenous Spd on antioxidant enzyme activity and antioxidant content in the chloroplast were evaluated in seedlings of salt-sensitive ecotype (Zhongza 9) grown in a 75 mM salinity-alkalinity solution, with or without 0.25 mM Spd foliar spraying. Results showed that salinity-alkalinity stress increased MDA content, superoxide anion O2?- generation rate, superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR) activities and ratio of AsA/DHA and reduced contents of ascorbate (AsA), dehydroascorbate (DHA), AsA+DHA, glutathione (GSH), oxidized glutathione (GSSG), GSH+GSSG, dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR) activity and ratio of GSH/GSSG in chloroplasts. The exogenous Spd application combined with salinity-alkalinity stress decreased the O2?- generation rate and MDA content compared to salinity-alkalinity stress alone. The exogenous Spd also increased AsA-GSH cycle components and increased all antioxidant enzyme activities in most cases. Therefore, exogenous Spd alleviates salinity-alkalinity stress damage using antioxidant enzymes and non-enzymatic systems in chloroplasts. 相似文献

We studied changes in physiological parameters of whole leaves and in antioxidant protection of chloroplasts during ageing
and senescence of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Samsun NN) leaves with enhanced cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase activity (CKX) or without it (WT). Old leaves of CKX
plants maintained higher pigment content and photosystem 2 activity compared to WT leaves of the same age. Chloroplasts of
old CKX plants showed better antioxidant capacity represented by higher superoxide dismutase, dehydroascorbate reductase and
glutathione reductase activities. 相似文献

Here we present studies on the antioxidant status of a semi-natural grassland community, permanently growing in mini-FACE rings under elevated concentrations of atmospheric CO2 (560 μmol mol−1). In general, in leaves of Dactylis glomerata L. and Trifolium repens L., no differences between ambient and elevated CO2 were detected as concerns protein content, activity of oxidant-scavenging enzymes (catalase, superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase and guaiacol peroxidase), and lipid peroxidation. The activity of antioxidant-regenerating enzymes (monodehydroascorbate reductase, dehydroascorbate reductase and glutathione disulfide reductase) and the content of antioxidants (ascorbic acid, dehydroascorbic acid, reduced glutathione and glutathione disulfide) showed remarkable variability between leaves from plants grown in ambient and CO2-enriched mini-FACE rings. Thus, in general it can be concluded that the effects of elevated CO2 at environmentally relevant concentrations on the leaf antioxidant status of a grassland community are extremely variable, species-specific and rather limited. 相似文献

To investigate the possible mechanisms of glutathione reductase (GR) in protecting against oxidative stress, we obtained transgenic
tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants with 30–70% decreased GR activity by using a gene encoding tobacco chloroplastic GR for the RNAi construct. We investigated
the responses of wild type and transgenic plants to oxidative stress induced by application of methyl viologen in vivo. Analyses
of CO2 assimilation, maximal efficiency of photosystem II photochemistry, leaf bleaching, and oxidative damage to lipids demonstrated
that transgenic plants exhibited enhanced sensitivity to oxidative stress. Under oxidative stress, there was a greater decrease
in reduced to oxidized glutathione ratio but a greater increase in reduced glutathione in transgenic plants than in wild type
plants. In addition, transgenic plants showed a greater decrease in reduced ascorbate and reduced to oxidized ascorbate ratio
than wild type plants. However, there were neither differences in the levels of NADP and NADPH and in the total foliar activities
of monodehydroascorbate reductase and dehydroascorbate reductase between wild type and transgenic plant. MV treatment induced
an increase in the activities of GR, ascorbate peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, and catalase. Furthermore, accumulation of
H2O2 in chloroplasts was observed in transgenic plants but not in wild type plants. Our results suggest that capacity for regeneration
of glutathione by GR plays an important role in protecting against oxidative stress by maintaining ascorbate pool and ascorbate
redox state. 相似文献

Fungal pathogen-induced changes in the antioxidant systems of leaf peroxisomes from infected tomato plants 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Peroxisomes, being one of the main organelles where reactive oxygen species (ROS) are both generated and detoxified, have been suggested to be instrumental in redox-mediated plant cell defence against oxidative stress. We studied the involvement of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) leaf peroxisomes in defence response to oxidative stress generated upon Botrytis cinerea Pers. infection. The peroxisomal antioxidant potential expressed as superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC 1.15.1.1), catalase (CAT, EC 1.11.1.6) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px, EC 1.11.1.19) as well as the ascorbate-glutathione (AA-GSH) cycle activities was monitored. The initial infection-induced increase in SOD, CAT and GSH-Px indicating antioxidant defence activation was followed by a progressive inhibition concomitant with disease symptom development. Likewise, the activities of AA-GSH cycle enzymes: ascorbate peroxidase (APX, EC 1.11.1.11), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR, EC 1.6.5.4), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR, EC 1.8.5.1) and glutathione reductase (GR, EC 1.6.4.2) as well as ascorbate and glutathione concentrations and redox ratios were significantly decreased. However, the rate and timing of these events differed. Our results indicate that B. cinerea triggers significant changes in the peroxisomal antioxidant system leading to a collapse of the protective mechanism at advanced stage of infection. These changes appear to be partly the effect of pathogen-promoted leaf senescence. 相似文献

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) varieties cv. Jinchun no. 4 (a North China ecotype) and cv. Lvfeng no. 6 (a South China ecotype) were cultivated to explore
the effects of osmotic stress on the ultrastructure of chloroplasts and mitochondria, as well as to assess the possible protective
effect of exogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Under osmotic stress induced by 10% polyethylene glycol 6000, 84.3% of the chloroplasts in Jinchun no. 4 were abnormal,
whereas 88.6% were abnormal in Lvfeng no. 6. Abnormal mitochondria occurred in these two strains at rates of 78.5 and 87.1%,
respectively. The stress condition disintegrated the membranes of most chloroplasts and mitochondria in the leaf cells of
both cucumber ecotypes, and it also increased the malondialdehyde (MDA) content. We subjected the two cultivars to a combined
treatment with H2O2 and osmotic stress and made the following observations: (1) Abnormal chloroplasts occurred at rates of 25.7 and 28.6%, and
abnormal mitochondria were observed at rates of 22.9 and 32.8%, respectively. (2) Most of the investigated membranes were
well organized in leaves of Jinchun no. 4 and Lvfeng no. 6, and the levels of endogenous H2O2, superoxide anion, and MDA were lower. Osmotic stress and exogenous H2O2 both increased the activities of antioxidative enzymes such as manganese superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, catalase,
guaiacol peroxidase, ascorbate peroxidase, glutathione reductase, monodehydroascorbate reductase, dehydroascorbate reductase,
and the antioxidants ascorbate and reduced glutathione. The combined effect of osmotic stress and exogenous H2O2 resulted in the highest antioxidant activities in both cucumber ecotypes. We propose that exogenous H2O2 increases antioxidant activity in cucumber leaves and thereby decreases lipid peroxidation to some extent, thus protecting
the ultrastructure of most chloroplasts and mitochondria under osmotic stress. 相似文献

The antioxidative response of grapevine leaves (Vitis vinifera cv. Trebbiano) affected by the presence of grapevine fanleaf virus was studied during the summer of 2010 at three different harvest times (July 1st and 26th, and August 30th). At the first and second harvest, infected leaves showed increases in the concentration of superoxide radical and hydrogen peroxide, the latter increasing for enhanced activity of superoxide dismutase. In contrast, at the last harvest time, increases in the ascorbate pool and ascorbate peroxidase activity maintained hydrogen peroxide to control levels. The glutathione pool was negatively affected as summer progressed, showing a decrease in its total and reduced form amounts. At the same time, increases in the ascorbate pool were observed, making antioxidant defenses of grapevine effective also at the last harvest time. Increases in phenolic acids, and in particular in p-hydroxybenzoic acid, at the first and second harvest might have enhanced the efficiency of the antioxidant system through an interrelation between a peroxidase/phenol/ascorbate system and the NADPH/glutathione/ascorbate cycle. The lack of increase in p-hydroxybenzoic acid at the third harvest could be due instead to the enhanced utilization of this acid for hydrogen peroxide detoxification. With time, grapevine plants lost their capacity to contrast the spread of grapevine fanleaf virus, but acquired a greater ability to counteract pathogen-induced oxidative stress, being endowed with more reduced antioxidant pools. 相似文献

The effect of magnesium (Mg2+)‐deficiency on the antioxidant responses of Capsicum annuum was investigated over a 60‐day period under controlled conditions. This Mg2+‐deficiency aimed to mimic the physiological conditions that plants may experience in the field. At each harvest time, five different leaf‐levels (L2 to L6) were distinguished. L2 and L6 correspond to the second and sixth youngest leaves, respectively. The following parameters were determined: Mg2+, chlorophyll and protein contents, total and redox pools of ascorbate and glutathione, and the activities of superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase, dehydroascorbate reductase, and glutathione reductase. Under Mg2+‐deficiency, leaf Mg2+ contents decreased over time in all leaf‐levels except in the second youngest leaves (L2), where they remained constant at about 0.25% (dry weight basis). Mg2+‐deficiency led to an increase in the antioxidant enzyme activities concomitant with an increase in the ascorbate and glutathione pools, whereas total chlorophyll and soluble protein contents decreased. The L2 leaves showed an increase in glutathione reductase activity and in the ascorbate redox state whereas no difference was observed for the other parameters. Superoxide dismutase activities increased in L5 leaves from day 15 and, afterwards, in L3 to L5 leaves, irrespective of Mg2+ content. At day 30, glutathione reductase activities increased in L2 to L4 leaves and dehydroascorbate reductase activities in L4 leaves. At day 45, we observed an increase in the ascorbate peroxidase activities in L3 to L5 leaves. At the same time, ascorbate and glutathione pools increased in intermediate leaves, whereas chlorophyll content decreased in L3 and L4 leaves, and protein content decreased in L4 leaves. Results suggest that pepper leaves enhance their defence capacities against oxidative stress by increasing ascorbate more than glutathione synthesis. However, cells showed higher regeneration rates for the glutathione redox state than for the ascorbate redox state. 相似文献

Transgenic cotton plants from several independently-transformed lines expressing a chimeric gene encoding a chloroplast-targeted Mn superoxide dismutase (SOD) from tobacco exhibit a three-fold increase in the total leaf SOD activity, strong Mn SOD activity associated with isolated chloroplasts, and a 30% and 20% increase in ascorbate peroxidase and glutathione reductase activities, respectively. The Mn SOD plants did exhibit a slightly enhanced protection against light-mediated, paraquat-induced cellular damage but only at 0.3 µM paraquat. In addition, photosynthetic rates at 10°C and 15°C were similar to those of controls, and the immediate recovery of photosynthesis after a 35-min exposure to 5°C and full sun was only slightly better than that for wild-type plants. The recovery for longer exposure times was comparable for both genotypes as was the deactivation of the H2O2-sensitive, Calvin-cycle enzyme, stromal fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase). Compared to the controls, Mn SOD plant leaves in full sun prior to chilling stress had a lower activation of FBPase, a higher ratio of oxidized to reduced forms of ascorbate, and a higher total glutathione content. After 35 min at 5°C in full sunlight, total glutathione had risen in control leaves to 88% of the Mn SOD plant values, and oxidized to reduced ascorbate ratios were higher for both genotypes. However, an 80% increase in the ratio of oxidized to reduced glutathione occurred for Mn SOD plant leaves with no change for controls. This increased demand on the ascorbate-glutathione cycle is circumstantial evidence that high Mn SOD activity in the chloroplast leads to increased H2O2 pools that could, in some manner, affect photosynthetic recovery after a stress period. We postulate that the pool sizes of reduced ascorbate and glutathione may restrict the ability of the ascorbate-glutathione cycle to compensate for the increased activity of SOD in cotton over-producing mitochondrial Mn SOD in chloroplasts during short-term chilling/high light stress. 相似文献

Role of lipid peroxidation and antioxidative enzymes (catalase, peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase and glutathione reductase) in water stress-promoted senescence of detached rice leaves was investigated. The senescence was followed by measuring the decrease in protein content. Increased lipid peroxidation was closely correlated with senescence in water stressed leaves. Decrease in superoxide dismutase activity was evident 8 h after beginning of water stress. However, decreased catalase, peroxidase, and ascorbate peroxidase activity was observed only when senescence was observed. Glutathione reductase was not affected by water stress. Free radical scavengers retarded water stress-enhanced senescence. 相似文献

Summary This study provides first-hand information on the salinity and copper-induced oxidative damage and its protection in Anabaena doliolum by the antioxidant defence system. Oxidative damage measured in terms of lipid peroxidation, electrolyte leakage and H2O2 production was induced by different concentrations of NaCl and Cu2+. A greater electrolyte leakage by NaCl than Cu2+ supported the hypothesis of salinity being more injurious than copper. To explore the survival strategies of A. doliolum under NaCl and Cu stress, enzymatic antioxidant activities e.g. superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase
(APX), and glutathione reductase (GR) and nonenzymatic antioxidant contents such as glutathione reduced (GSH), ascorbate,
α-tocopherol, and carotenoid were measured. A general induction in SOD and APX activities as well as ascorbate and α-tocopherol
contents was found under NaCl and Cu2+ stress. In contrast to this, an appreciable decline in GR activity, GSH pool and carotenoid content under Cu2+ and an increase under NaCl stress were observed. CAT activity was completely inhibited at high doses of NaCl but stimulated
following Cu2+ treatment. The above results suggest the involvement of APX and CAT in the scavenging of H2O2 under Cu2+ stress. In contrast to this, only APX was involved in H2O2 scavenging under salt stress. Our postulate of Cu2+-mediated antagonism of salt stress can be explained by a conceivable reversion of Na+-induced disturbance of cellular homeostasis by redox active Cu2+. 相似文献

Warmer than average summer sea surface temperature is one of the main drivers for coral bleaching, which describes the loss of endosymbiotic dinoflagellates (genus: Symbiodinium) in reef‐building corals. Past research has established that oxidative stress in the symbiont plays an important part in the bleaching cascade. Corals hosting different genotypes of Symbiodinium may have varying thermal bleaching thresholds, but changes in the symbiont's antioxidant system that may accompany these differences have received less attention. This study shows that constitutive activity and up‐regulation of different parts of the antioxidant network under thermal stress differs between four Symbiodinium types in culture and that thermal susceptibility can be linked to glutathione redox homeostasis. In Symbiodinium B1, C1 and E, declining maximum quantum yield of PSII (Fv/Fm) and death at 33°C were generally associated with elevated superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and a more oxidized glutathione pool. Symbiodinium F1 exhibited no decline in Fv/Fm or growth, but showed proportionally larger increases in ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity and glutathione content (GSx), while maintaining GSx in a reduced state. Depressed growth in Symbiodinium B1 at a sublethal temperature of 29°C was associated with transiently increased APX activity and glutathione pool size, and an overall increase in glutathione reductase (GR) activity. The collapse of GR activity at 33°C, together with increased SOD, APX and glutathione S‐transferase activity, contributed to a strong oxidation of the glutathione pool with subsequent death. Integrating responses of multiple components of the antioxidant network highlights the importance of antioxidant plasticity in explaining type‐specific temperature responses in Symbiodinium. 相似文献
