A chilling episode of a few hours damaged root ammonium absorption in a cultivated tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum cv. T-5), but not in a wild congener from high altitudes ( Lycopersicon hirsutum LA1778). In the cultivar, ammonium influx was strongly temperature dependent and showed the residual effects of chilling, whereas ammonium efflux was nearly temperature invariant and showed no persistent effects. A 2 h exposure to 5 °C significantly depressed subsequent ammonium absorption at 20 °C, and about 12 h at 20 °C was required for recovery. For both the cultivated and wild species, rerooted cuttings were slightly less sensitive to chilling than seedlings. The relative inhibition (mean ± SE) of ammonium absorption before and after chilling was 58·4 ± 2·5% for the cultivated species and 29·0 ± 9·1% for the wild species. The F1 hybrid between the species showed a relative inhibition of 52·4 ± 3·6%, suggesting that chilling sensitivity may be dominant. In a backcross of the hybrid to L. esculentum , the phenotypic distribution of the relative inhibition of ammonium absorption indicated that this trait is segregating. 相似文献

The shoots of cultivated tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum cv. T5) wilt if their roots are exposed to chilling temperatures of around 5 °C. Under the same treatment, a chilling‐tolerant congener (Lycopersicon hirsutum LA 1778) maintains shoot turgor. To determine the physiological basis of this differential response, the effect of chilling on both excised roots and roots of intact plants in pressure chambers were investigated. In excised roots and intact plants, root hydraulic conductance declined with temperature to nearly twice the extent expected from the temperature dependence of the viscosity of water, but the response was similar in both species. The species differed markedly, however, in stomatal behaviour: in L. hirsutum, stomatal conductance declined as root temperatures were lowered, whereas the stomata of L. esculentum remained open until the roots reached 5 °C, and the plants became flaccid and suffered damage. Grafted plants with the shoots of one genotype and roots of another indicated that the differential stomatal behaviour during root chilling has distinct shoot and root components. 相似文献

Growth and photosynthesis of an alloplasmic tomato (cybrid),i.e. line AH47, containing the nuclear genome of the chilling-sensitivecytoplasmic albino mutant of L. esculentum Mill. LargeRed Cherry (LRC) and the plastome of a more chilling-toleranthigh-altitude accession of the related wild species L. hirsutumHumb. & Bonpl. LA 1777, were investigated at an optimal(25/20°C) and suboptimal (16/14°C) day/night temperatureregime and their performance compared with that of both euplasmicparents. The cybrid shoot had a similar biomass and developmentrate to the nuclear tomato (L. esculentum) parent at both temperatureregimes. Compared with the biomass production of shoots grownat optimal temperature, the reduction in shoot biomass at suboptimaltemperature was smaller for L. hirsutum than for L. esculentumand the cybrid. This difference was related to a stronger inhibitionof leaf area expansion in L. esculentum and the cybrid in thesuboptimal temperature regime than in L. hirsutum. Irrespectiveof the temperature regime under which the plants were grown,photosynthetic performance and leaf pigment, carbohydrate andsoluble-protein contents of the cybrid resembled those of thenuclear parent. No advantages of the alien L. hirsutum chloroplastwith respect to growth and photosynthesis-related characteristicswere observed in the cybrid in the suboptimal temperature regime,indicating that the temperature sensitivity of the photosyntheticapparatus is regulated by nuclear genes. An adverse consequenceof interspecific chloroplast transfer was the increased susceptibilityto chill-induced photoinhibition of the cybrid. It is concludedthat cybridization is not a useful tool for improving low-temperaturetolerance of tomato.

The genetic basis for shoot wilting and root ammonium uptake under chilling temperatures was examined in an interspecific
backcross (BC1) population derived from Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv T5 and wild Lycopersicon hirsutum f. typicum accession LA1778. The chilling sensitivity of shoot wilting and ammonium uptake was evaluated in four replicated cuttings
from each of 196 BC1 plants. Wilting was evaluated at two different times: 2 hours (wilting 2 h) and 6 hours (wilting 6 h recovery) after root
exposure to 4°C. The BC1 plants were genotyped with 89 polymorphic RFLP markers, and composite interval mapping was used to detect quantitative trait
loci (QTLs). Three QTLs, one each on chromosomes 5, 6 and 9, were detected for wilting 2 h. The presence of a L. hirsutum (H) allele at the QTL on chromosomes 5 and 9 decreased wilting, while the H allele at the QTL on chromosome 6 increased wilting.
To analyze plant recovery from wilting at 6 h, subsets of the BC1 population were selected, based on phenotype and genotype, because not all plants wilted at 2 h. The phenotype subset (wilting
6 h-PS) included plants that wilted to a greater degree at 2 h, and the genotype subsets included plants carrying specific
allelic compositions at the QTL for wilting 2 h on chromosomes 5 (wilting 6 h-GS-ch5), 6 (wilting 6 h-GS-ch6), and 9 (wilting
6 h-GS-ch9). On chromosome 6, a QTL was located that was associated with three subsets (wilting 6 h-PS, wilting 6 h-GS-ch5
and wilting 6 h-GS-ch9), while on chromosome 7 a QTL was detected with two subsets (wilting 6 h-PS and wilting 6 h-GS-ch5).
Three additional QTLs were detected within a single subset: chromosome 1 (wilting 6 h-GS-ch6), chromosome 11 (wilting 6 h-GS-ch5)
and chromosome 12 (wilting 6 h-GS-ch9). The presence of the H allele at the QTL on chromosomes 7 and 12 had a positive effect,
enhancing recovery from wilting, while the H allele at the other QTL had a negative effect. Three traits were used to evaluate
the chilling sensitivity of root ammonium uptake: ammonium uptake before a chilling episode, ammonium uptake after the chilling
episode, and the relative inhibition of uptake (difference in uptake rates before and after chilling divided by the rate before
chilling). One QTL was detected on chromosome 3 for the rate before chilling and one on chromosome 6 for the relative inhibition
of ammonium uptake. Our results demonstrate that shoot wilting and ammonium uptake under chilling are controlled by multiple
QTLs.

The mechanism of chilling resistance was investigated in 4-week-old plants of the chilling-sensitive cultivated tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv H722, and rooted cuttings of its chilling-resistant wild relative, L. hirsutum Humb. and Bonpl., which were chilled for 3 days at 2°C with a 14-hour photoperiod and light intensity of 250 micromoles per square meter per second. This chilling stress reduced the chlorophyll fluorescence ratio, stomatal conductance, and dry matter accumulation more in the sensitive L. esculentum than in the resistant L. hirsutum. Photosynthetic CO2 uptake at the end of the chilling treatment was reduced more in the resistant L. hirsutum than in L. esculentum, but recovered at a faster rate when the plants were returned to 25°C. The reduction of the spin trap, Tiron, by isolated thylakoids at 750 micromoles per square meter per second light intensity was taken as a relative indication of the tendency for the thylakoids to produce activated oxygen. Thylakoids isolated from the resistant L. hirsutum with or without chilling treatment were essentially similar, whereas those from chilled leaves of L. esculentum reduced more Tiron than the nonchilled controls. Whole chain photosynthetic electron transport was measured on thylakoids isolated from chilled and control leaves of the two species at a range of assay temperatures from 5 to 25°C. In both species, electron transport of the thylakoids from chilled leaves was lower than the controls when measured at 25°C, and electron transport declined as the assay temperature was reduced. However, the temperature sensitivity of thylakoids from chilled L. esculentum was altered such that at all temperatures below 20°C, the rate of electron transport exceeded the control values. In contrast, the thylakoids from chilled L. hirsutum maintained their temperature sensitivity, and the electron transport rates were proportionately reduced at all temperatures. This sublethal chilling stress caused no significant changes in thylakoid galactolipid, phospholipid, or protein levels in either species. Nonchilled thylakoid membranes from L. hirsutum had fourfold higher levels of the fatty acid 16:1, than those from L. esculentum. Chilling caused retailoring of the acyl chains in L. hirsutum but not in L. esculentum. The chilling resistance of L. hirsutum may be related to an ability to reduce the potential for free radical production by close regulation of electron transport within the chloroplast. 相似文献

Temperature dependences of chlorophyll fluorescence quenchingcoefficients were studied in the cultivated tomato (Lycopersiconesculentum) and three lines of the chilling-tolerant L.peruvianumfrom different altitudes, i.e. LA 1373 (20 m a.s.l.), LA 2157(1,650 m a.s.l.) and LA 385 (2,400 m a.s.l.). At actinic lightintensity near light saturation of photosynthesis (370 µEm2 s7minus;1), photochemical quenching (qP) increasedwith increasing temperature between 5 and 30°C. The temperature,at which qP reached the numerical value 0.5 [T (qP=0.5)] decreasedby 2.54.5°C after a chilling treatment of 14 daysat 10°C in L. peruvianum, indicating acclimation of thephotosynthetic dark reactions in this species. The final T (qP=0.5)attained after chilling could be arranged in the order L.esculentum>LA1373>LA 2157>LA 385. The fast relaxing non-photochemicalquenching (qN) component (qf, consisting mainly of energy-dependentquenching, qE) exhibited minima near the optimum temperaturefor photosynthesis. These minima shifted to lower temperaturesupon chilling in L. peruvianum. Photoinhibitory quenching (ql)was unaffected by chilling in the high altitude lines, but-increasedstrongly in LA 1373 and L. esculentum. Under low actinic light(40 µE m2 s1), temperature dependences ofqP and qN were nearly identical in L. esculentum and LA 385and revealed abrupt changes at approx. 8°C. It is concludedthat qP and ql, measured after defined chilling treatments,are valuable screening parameters for chilling tolerance inearly growth stages of Lycopersicon plants.

1 The resistance of Lycopersicon hirsutum f. typicum and L. esculentum to the leafminer Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) was investigated in two experiments. The first experiment assessed the resistance of L. hirsutum f. typicum (accession LA 1777) to T. absoluta, the second assessed the variability of the resistance among plants of this accession. 2 It was found that L. hirsutum f. typicum was resistant to the leafminer, which showed longer larval phase, higher larval mortality, smaller numbers of large mines and greater numbers of small mines/leaf than on L. esculentum. Seven plants of the accession LA 1777 showed lower number of small mines/leaf, but their results of larval mortality and length of larval and pupal phase were similar. Twenty-two peaks were observed in total ion chromatograms of L. hirsutum f. typicum hexane extracts of leaves subjected to a gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric analysis (CG-MS). However, the matches obtained between the peak spectra and the MS database were too low to justify even preliminary identification of the compounds. 相似文献

The effect of chilling temperatures upon cell cultures of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill cv `VF36,' and cv `VFNT Cherry,' and L. hirsutum Humb. & Bonpl.) was tested. Doubling times for L. esculentum were 2 to 3 days at 28°C, and 3 to 8 days at 12°C. No growth was observed at 8°C, indicating an abrupt limit to growth between 8 and 12°C. Fluorescein diacetate staining indicated that 80 to 90% of the cells were alive when cells were maintained at 8°C for up to 2 weeks. When cultures kept at 8°C for up to 30 days were transferred to 28°C, growth resumed quickly, and at a rate virtually identical to that for unchilled cells. Similar results were found for cells maintained at 0°C, and for cells of `VFNT Cherry' and of L. hirsutum. Under certain conditions, cultures slowly doubled in fresh weight and cell volume at 8 or 9°C but additional growth at 8°C did not occur, nor could growth be maintained by subculture at 8 or 9°C. The results are contrary to reports that cell cultures of tomato die when exposed to temperatures below 10°C for 1 or 2 weeks. Our observations indicate that chilling temperatures quickly inhibit growth of tomato cells, but do not kill them. 相似文献

During long-term chilling under non-photoinhibitory conditions,ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase of the chilling-sensitive,cultivated tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) lost a substantialamount of titrable sulfhydryl groups, both in the native andin the dissociated state, while the content of disulfide bondsincreased. In contrast, accessible cysteine residues of theenzyme isolated from chilling-tolerant, high-altitude linesof L. peruvianum (Mill.) were only inferiorly affected duringchilling stress.

Effects of chilling (5 °C) period, light and applied nitrogen(N) on germination (%), rate of germination (d to 50% of totalgermination; T50%) and seed imbibition were examined inClematisvitalba L. In the absence of chilling, light and N, germinationwas minimal (3%). When applied alone, both chilling and N increasedgermination. Chilling for 12 weeks increased germination to64%, and 2.5 mM NO-3or NH+4increased germination to 1012%.Light did not increase germination when applied alone, but didwhen applied in combination with chilling and/or N. Half theseed germinated when light was combined with 2.5 mM NO-3or NH+4.The influence of chilling, light and/or N on germination wasgreater when combined, than when either factor was applied alone.Both oxidized (NO-3) and reduced (NH+4) forms of N increasedgermination, but non-N-containing compounds did not, suggestingthe response was due to N and not ionic or osmotic effects. Without additional N, T50%decreased from 1620 d at zerochilling, to around 5 d at 8 and 12 weeks chilling. AlthoughT50%was not influenced by an increase in NO-3or NH+4from 0.5to 5.0 mM , it did increase with additional applied N thereafter.However, the magnitude of the N effect was small compared tothat of chilling. Like germination, seed imbibition increasedwith a longer chilling period, but in contrast imbibition decreasedslightly with increased applied NO-3or NH+4. It is argued thatincreased imbibition is not directly related to an increasein total germination, but that it may be related to the rateof germination. Possible mechanisms involved in the reductionin dormancy ofC. vitalba seed are discussed.

Effect of Chilling Temperatures on the Protoplasmic Streaming of Plants from Different Climates 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A microscope mount was designed so that specimen temperaturescould be monitored and controlled without impairing phase contrastoptics and used to measure rates of protoplasmic streaming between0 and 25 ?C in trichome cells of Lycopersicon esculentum, Lycopersiconhirsutum, Citrullus vulgaris, Tradescantia albiflora, Digitalispurpurea, and Veronica persica. Between 10 and 20 ?C the rates of streaming varied from 26µm s1 depending on the temperature, and differencesbetween the species were small. The temperature coefficientof streaming rates was found to increase as the temperaturewas lowered so that the plot of log rate against temperaturehad a steeper slope at the lower temperatures. The largest temperature cofficients were for the warmth-requiringL. esculentum (tomato) and C. vulgaris (water melon), and thesmallest for the temperate-zone plants V. persica (speedwell)and D. purpurea (foxglove). The changes in rate always occurredover a range of temperature; no critical temperaturewasobserved below which streaming abruptly stopped and above whichit was active, although the amount of streaming as well as therate decreased as the lowest temperatures were approached. The temperatures experienced by the specimens during the experimentdid not affect the recovery of normal streaming rates betweenabout 10 and 20 ?C. In a population of a wild tomato, Lycopersicon hirsutum Humb.and Bonpl., collected from different altitudes in Peru and Ecuador,i.e. from locations of different environmental temperature,the rate of protoplasmic streaming at 5 ?C was greatest in thevarieties collected from the highest altitudes. The resultssuggest that streaming rates correlate with genetic adaptationto low temperature in the species examined. 相似文献

The effect of root temperature and form of inorganic nitrogensupply on in vitro nitrate reductase activity (NRA) was studiedin oilseed rape (Brassica napus L. cv. bien venu). Plants weregrown initially in flowing nutrient solution containing 10 µMNH4NO3 and then supplied with either nitrate or ammonium for15 d at root temperatures of 3, 7, 11 or 17 °C. Shoot temperatureregime was similar for all plants; 20/15 °C, day/night.Root NRA was highest when roots were grown at 3 and 7 °C.In laminae and petioles NRA was highest when roots were 11 or17 °C. The plants supplied with ammonium had much lowerlevels of NRA in roots after 5 d than the plants supplied onlywith nitrate. NRA in the laminae of plants supplied with ammoniumwas low relative to that in plants supplied with nitrate onlywhen root temperature was 11 or 17 °C. Values of the apparent activation energy (Ea) of NR, calculatedfrom the Arrhenius equation, in laminae and petioles were differentfrom roots suggesting difference in enzyme conformation. Evidencethat the temperature at which roots were growing affected Eawas equivocal.

Short- and Long-Term Inhibition of Respiratory Carbon Dioxide Efflux by Elevated Carbon Dioxide 总被引:23,自引:1,他引:23
Dark carbon dioxide efflux rates of recently fully expandedleaves and whole plants of Amaranthus hypochondriacus L., Glycinemax (L.) Merr., and Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. grown in controlledenvironments at 35 and 70 Pa carbon dioxide pressure were measuredat 35 and 70 Pa carbon dioxide pressure. Harvest data and whole-plant24-h carbon dioxide exchange were used to determine relativegrowth rates, net assimilation rates, leaf area ratios, andthe ratio of respiration to photosynthesis under the growthconditions. Biomass at a given time after planting was greaterat the higher carbon dioxide pressure in G. max and L. esculentum,but not the C4 species, A. hypochondriacus. Relative growthrates for the same range of masses were not different betweencarbon dioxide treatments in the two C3 species, because highernet assimilation rates at the higher carbon dioxide pressurewere offset by lower leaf area ratios. Whole plant carbon dioxideefflux rates per unit of mass were lower in plants grown andmeasured at the higher carbon dioxide pressure in both G. maxand L. esculentum, and were also smaller in relation to daytimenet carbon dioxide influx. Short-term responses of respirationrate to carbon dioxide pressure were found in all species, withcarbon dioxide efflux rates of leaves and whole plants lowerwhen measured at higher carbon dioxide pressure in almost allcases.

Tomato pollen development: stages sensitive to chilling and a natural environment for the selection of resistant genotypes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Abstract The time during which pollen development is most sensitive to chilling was investigated. Five cultivars of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) bearing flower buds at different stages of development were kept at 7°C for 1 week under 12-h light periods, during which time growth stopped. After returning the plants to minimum temperatures of 18°C, the presence of chromatin in the pollen was assessed daily as the flowers reached anthesis. The results suggested that there are two stages of acute sensitivity to cold during pollen development, each of which results in cold-stressed plants having pollen empty of chromatin. The first and most sensitive stage is about 11.2 d (SE = 0.3 d) before anthesis, and this is followed by a second stage of sensitivity about 5.6±0.2 d before anthesis. Flowers that had wholly developed under simulated natural temperatures that decreased diurnally from a maximum of 18°C to a minimum of 7°C also had defective pollen, but pollen of normal appearance was regained within 14°d on return to higher temperatures. Plants of L. esculentum, and a form (LA 1363) of the wild species L. hirsutum from high altitudes in the Andes, as well as F1 and F3 generations of their hybrid, were grown to the flowering stage at an altitude of 600 m in Hawaii and then grown for a further 30°d at 2000 m, where night temperature was below 10°C. The high altitude environment severely affected the quality of pollen produced and its release from the stamen in L. esculentum, but not in L. hirsutum LA 1363. The results with the hybrids suggested that such tropical mountain environments can be used as a natural phytotron in the selection of chilling resistance that is only expressed in the mature plant. 相似文献

Thermal hysteresis of longitudinal relaxation times (T1) ofwater protons in hypocotyls of etiolated Vigna radiata and V.mungo seedlings was investigated by pulse nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) spectroscopy. Various lengths of chilling exposures duringa cool-warm cycle between 20 and 0?C (below 10?C, about 4 h)for the T1 hysteresis measurement did not cause any visibleinjury symptoms in hypocotyls. However, the profiles of T1 hysteresisvaried as a result of different chilling exposures. The sumsof the T1 ratio (for detail see Introduction) reflecting T1prolongation or shortening upon the warming process were a goodquantitative index for the extent of T1 hysteresis, and thewide dispersion of this value ranging on the "minus" side (T1prolongation upon warming) suggested the occurrence of a primaryresponse of cells to chilling stress before obvious visiblesymptoms occur while the T1 ratio sums on the "plus" side (T1shortening upon warming) corresponded to a response of seriousvisible injury. Therefore, the sums of the T1 ratio can be usedas a non-destructive diagnostic tool for monitoring the primaryevent of chilling injury when lacking any visible injury symptoms.The data indicate that the critical temperature for the occurrenceof primary response for chilling stress was around 7.5?C forV. radiata and 12.5?C for V. mungo.

The transition temperature of the leaf polar lipids and the critical temperature for chill-induced inhibition of photosynthesis was determined for three altitudinal ecotypes of the wild tomato Lycopersicon hirsutum. Photosynthesis was measured as CO2-dependent O2 evolution at 25°C after leaf slices were exposed to chilling temperatures for 2 hours at a moderate photon flux density of 450 micromoles per square meter per second. The transition temperature of the leaf polar lipids was detected from the change in the temperature coefficient of the fluorescence intensity of trans-parinaric acid. Chill-induced photoinhibition was evident in the three tomato ecotypes when they were chilled below a critical temperature of 10°, 11°, and 13°C, respectively, for the high (LA1777), mid (LA1625), and low (LA1361) altitudinal ecotypes. The temperature differential, below the critical temperature, required to produce a 50% inhibition was also similar for the three ecotypes. A transition was detected in the leaf polar lipids of these plants at a temperature similar to that of the critical temperature for photoinhibition. The results show that the three tomato ecotypes are similar with respect to their critical temperature for chilling-induced photoinhibition and the rate of their response to the chilling stress. They are, thus, similarly sensitive to chilling. 相似文献

Nitrate Uptake and Reduction of Aseptically Cultivated Spruce Seedlings, Picea abies (L.) Karst 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) seedlings were asepticallycultivated and the effects of different N-nutrition on net uptakeand reduction of nitrate were investigated. The characteristicsof nitrate uptake were calculated, Ks as 0?2 mol m3 andVmax as 18 µmol g1 d1. Low pH, and Al3+ in the medium caused adecrease in nitrate uptake rate. An in vivo assay was set upwhich allowed the measurement of NRA in both roots and needlesof spruce seedlings. The in vivo nitrate reductase activitywas repressed by ammonium and stimulated by nitrate. Nitratereduction was similar to nitrate uptake, negatively affectedby low pH and ammonium. Therefore, a limited N-supply to spruceseemed to occur when pH was low in the rhizosphere combinedwith the presence of Al3+ and . Key words: Spruce, nitrate uptake, nitrate reduction 相似文献

The Km and Vmax of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (RuBPCase)in selenium absorbing plants (Astragalus flavus Barn., Astragalusrafaelensis Barn. and Stanleya pinnata Bril.) were similar toRuBPCase from tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L. var. tropic).The pH optima for RuBPCase activity was 8.0 for L. esculentumand A. flavus and 7.0 for A. rafaelensis and S. pinnata. TheActivation Energy (E) values for the enzymes were as follows:A.flavus (21.37), S.pinnata (19.85), A. rafaelensis (19.12)and L. escudentum (18.58). The energy of activation was higherfor the desert plants as compared to the tomato. The Arrheniusplot curves were linear to 50?C far the desert plants as comparedto 45?C for tomato. Enzyme kinetics of RuBPCase from halophytic plants (Salicorniapacifica Stand., var. utahensis (Tidestrom) Munz. and Salicorniarubra Nels.) indicated the enzyme was at least as sensitiveto NaCl concentrations as the enzyme from tomato.

Enhanced Superoxide Radical Production in Roots of Zinc-Deficient Plants 总被引:16,自引:1,他引:15
The production of superoxide radical () was studied in roots of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv. Deltapine15/21), bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. var. Pr?lude) and tomato(Lycopersicon esculentum L. cv. Super marmande) plants grownin nutrient solution with different Zn concentrations. UsingTiron as a spin-probe, electron spin resonance (ESR) was employedfor the measurements of levels. In the 48 000 g and 140 000 g supernatants of cotton root extracts theamplitude of the Tiron ESR signals reflecting production steeply increased with the appearance of visual Zndeficiency symptoms in the shoots. The changes in the amplitudeof the Tiron ESR signals were closely correlated with an NADPH-dependent generating oxidase activity with a high pH optimum. Increases in NADPH-dependent generation were also found in root extracts of Zn-deficientbean and tomato plants. In all experiments re-supply of Zn todeficient plants for 12 h or 24 h markedly decreased generation. Further, with advancing Zn deficiencyrates of NADPH oxidation increased and the activities of superoxidedismutase (SOD) and catalase decreased. The results suggest that cotton, bean and tomato roots possessan NADPH-dependent generating activity which is affected by the Zn nutritional status of the plants. UnderZn deficiency, enhanced generation and impaired detoxification of Of and H2O2 could lead to elevated levelsof and -derived oxidizing O2 species and thus to increased peroxidation of membrane lipids.
