A sand culture experiment was conducted to study ameliorative role of 28-homobrassinolide (HBL) in Brassica juncea seedlings raised from the seeds treated with water, or 10−10, 10−8 and 10−6 M 28-homobrassinolide (HBL) and grown in the presence of copper (50, 100 and 150 mg kg−1 sand) and sampled at 30 days after sowing. The plants grown in the presence of copper exhibited a significant decline in growth, chlorophyll and photosynthetic parameters. However, the activity of antioxidant enzymes: catalase (E.C. 1.11.1.6), peroxidase (E.C. 1.11.1.7) and superoxide dismutase (E.C. 1.15.1.1) and the content of proline increased in the plants grown under copper stress and/or raised from treatment with HBL. However, H2O2 content increased significantly in copper-treated plants and decreased in plants given HBL treatment. Treatment of seeds with HBL improved the growth, photosynthetic parameters and antioxidant enzymes and also improved in the plants grown under copper stress. The elevated antioxidant enzyme and proline might be responsible to overcome the toxic effects of copper in B. juncea.  相似文献

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in minute quantity serves as a signalling molecule. However, the role of H2O2 in combination with brassinosteroids (stress regulators) in plants under toxic levels of copper, is poorly understood. With an aim to explore and elaborate their role in plants subjected to abiotic stress, the surface sterilized seeds of mung bean (Vigna radiata) were sown in earthen pots filled with soil and manure enriched with different levels of Cu2+ (50 or 100 mg kg?1 of soil) and allowed to grow under natural environmental conditions. At 15 and 20 days stage, the plants were sprayed with H2O2 (2.5 mM) and/or 28-homobrassinolide (HBL, 10?5 mM), respectively. At 45 days stage, the analysis of the plants revealed that the presence of copper in the soil caused a significant decrease in growth characteristics, activity of carbonic anhydrase and nitrate reductase, relative water content, chlorophyll content and the rate of photosynthesis whereas, the activity of antioxidant enzymes (catalase, peroxidase and superoxide dismutase) and the proline accumulation in leaves increased in Cu stressed plants. However, the exogenously applied HBL and/or H2O2, in the absence of Cu-stress strongly favoured the growth, photosynthetic parameters and also improved the activity of antioxidant enzymes and the proline content. Furthermore, the combined application of HBL and H2O2 to the foliage of the stressed plants neutralized the toxic impact of all copper regimes. Therefore, we are of the opinion that these chemicals somehow maintained the homeostasis of the metal in the plants that exhibit healthy growth.  相似文献

To investigate the effect of exogenously applied 28-homobrassinolide (HBL) on drought-stressed plants, photosynthesis and antioxidant systems were examined in Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.). Seedlings of Indian mustard were subjected to drought stress for 7 days at the 8–14 (DS1)/15–21 (DS2) days’ stage of growth and then returned to normal conditions of growth. These seedlings were sprayed with HBL (0.01 μM) at the 30-day stage and were sampled at 60 days to assess the changes in growth, photosynthesis and antioxidant enzymes. Plants exposed to stress at either of the stages of growth exhibited a significant decrease in growth and photosynthesis. The exposure of plants to stress at an earlier stage (DS1) was more inhibitory than that at a later stage (DS2). However, the follow-up treatment with HBL significantly improved the values of these parameters and also overcame the inhibitory effect of water stress. The activity of antioxidant enzymes [catalase (E.C. 1.11.1.6), peroxidase (E.C. 1.11.1.7) and superoxide dismutase (E.C. 1.15.1.1)] and proline content in leaves exhibited an increase in response to both the treatment factors, where their interaction had an additive effect. It was, therefore, concluded that the elevated antioxidant system, at least in part, was responsible for amelioration of the drought stress.  相似文献

Three-day-old seedlings (t 0 stage) of Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek obtained from seeds hydroprimed (H) and hydroprimed with proline (HPro) were examined. H and HPro slightly improved mung bean seed germination and seedlings growth at 5°C. The best growth was observed in the seedlings obtain from HPro5 (5 mM) seeds in comparison with the seedlings obtained from the control-non-primed seeds and H seeds. Exposure of mung bean seedlings grown from non-primed seeds to chilling for 4 days induced chilling injury: membrane lipid peroxidation, decrease in endogenous proline level and inhibition of growth of roots and hypocotyls. The seedlings obtain from HPro seeds grew better during the time of chilling and after rewarming at 25°C. The possible role of HPro in chilling injury limitation is discussed.  相似文献

Brassinosteroids (BRs) and polyamines, well-established growth regulators, play a key role in abiotic stress response in plants. In the present study, we examined the role of 24-epibrassinolide (EBL, an active BR) and/or putrescine (Put) in the salt-induced stress in cucumber. The 15-d-old plants were exposed to 100 mM NaCl and they were subsequently treated by exogenous EBL and/or Put. The salt stress reduced significantly plant growth and gas-exchange parameters, and increased proline content and electrolyte leakage in the leaves. Toxic effects induced by salt stress were completely overcome by the combination of EBL and Put. EBL and/or Put treatments improved the growth parameters of the NaCl-treated plants, such as shoot length, root length, fresh and dry mass. Our data also indicated that applications of EBL and Put upregulated the activities of the antioxidant enzymes, such as catalase, peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase under salt stress.  相似文献

Soybean [Glycine max (Linn.) Merrill] and mung bean [Vigna radiate (Linn.) Wilczek] plants were challenged with 5 kinds of heavy metals [cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and mercury (Hg)] in a hydroponic system. We applied 4 different metal treatments to study the effects of heavy metals on several physiological and biochemical parameters in these species, including root length, heavy metal concentrations and allocation in different organs, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and peroxidase activities, the content of malondialdehyde (MDA), protein and chlorophyll. The data showed that the growth of the roots of soybean and mung bean was equally sensitive to external Hg concentrations. Soybean was more sensitive to external Cd concentrations, and mung bean was more sensitive to external Cr, Cu and Pb concentrations. Normal concentrations of heavy metal would not cause visible toxic symptoms, and a low level of heavy metal even slightly stimulated the growth of plants. With the rise of heavy metal concentration, heavy metal stress induces an oxidative stress response in soybean and mung bean plants, characterized by an accumulation of MDA and the alternation pattern of antioxidative enzymes. Meanwhile, the growth of plants was suppressed, the content of chlorophyll decreased and leaves showed chlorosis symptoms at high metal concentrations.  相似文献

Brassinosteroids (BRs) play a significant role in alleviating the negative effects of various environmental stresses and in promoting the growth and development of plants. In this study, we investigated the effects of 24-epibrassinolide (EBL) on the growth, boron (B) accumulation and activation of the antioxidant system of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh exposed to high concentrations of boric acid (BA). A. thaliana plants were grown in a hydroponic culture, and after 4 weeks, the plants were transferred to media containing either 0.80 or 1.60 mM BA. Following BA treatment, 0.01 and 1 µM EBL was sprayed on the entire foliar region of the seedlings. B toxicity induced oxidative stress and considerably inhibited the growth of the plants. The spraying of EBL on the B-treated plants resulted in increases in growth (both fresh and dry shoot mass, silique number, length and mass) and pigment content (total chlorophyll and carotenoids). Excessive B levels increased the activities of antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, and guaiacol peroxidase, and increased the proline content in leaves of plants. However, treatment of the B-stressed plants with EBL further enhanced the activities of the antioxidant enzymes and increased the content of proline. The high level of lipid peroxidation in plants observed during exposure to a higher level of BA was decreased following EBL treatment. Thus, this study showed that the exogenous application of EBL ameliorates the toxic effects of B in a model plant by improving the plant’s antioxidant system and decreasing B accumulation. To our knowledge, this is the one of the first studies to examine the effect of BR in plants subjected to B toxicity.  相似文献

The present study involved two pot experiments to investigate the response of mung bean to the individual or combined SO42− and selenate application under drought stress. A marked increment in biomass and NPK accumulation was recorded in mung bean seedlings fertilized with various SO42− sources, except for CuSO4. Compared to other SO42− fertilizers, ZnSO4 application resulted in the highest increase in growth attributes and shoot nutrient content. Further, the combined S and Se application (S + Se) significantly enhanced relative water content (16%), SPAD value (72%), photosynthetic rate (80%) and activities of catalase (79%), guaiacol peroxidase (53%) and superoxide dismutase (58%) in the leaves of water-stressed mung bean plants. Consequently, the grain yield of mung bean was markedly increased by 105% under water stress conditions. Furthermore, S + Se application considerably increased the concentrations of P (47%), K (75%), S (80%), Zn (160%), and Fe (15%) in mung bean seeds under drought stress conditions. These findings indicate that S + Se application potentially increases the nutritional quality of grain legumes by stimulating photosynthetic apparatus and antioxidative machinery under water deficit conditions. Our results could provide the basis for further experiments on cross-talk between S and Se regulatory pathways to improve the nutritional quality of food crops.Supplementary InformationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12298-021-00992-6.  相似文献

Salicylic acid (SA) has been considered to attenuate the effects of abiotic stresses on plants, including water deficit that intensely affects the growth and production of plants. The goal of this work was to evaluate the role of SA in the alleviation of water stress in watermelon seedlings on a morphophysiological and biochemical level. The experiment consisted of application of SA at concentrations of 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.0 μmol L−1 to leaves of watermelon seedlings grown in three levels of water retention (100%, 75% and 50% WRL). To evaluate the effect on morphophysiological and biochemical aspects, the plant height, leaf area, shoot and root dry weight, chlorophyll index, relative water content, electrolyte leakage, protein content, amino acids, proline, carbohydrates, sucrose and starch concentration variables were determined. All variables were influenced by the SA concentrations and WRL, with statistically significant interaction between these factors for all except root dry weight. SA promotes increases in the concentration of organic solutes and reduces the rate of electrolyte leakage in watermelon seedlings, thus, supporting metabolism and growth of plants under stress conditions resulting from water deficit.  相似文献

A postulated role of the CN-resistant alternative respiratory pathway in plants is the maintenance of mitochondrial electron transport at low temperatures that would otherwise inhibit the main phosphorylating pathway and prevent the formation of toxic reactive oxygen species. This role is supported by the observation that alternative oxidase protein levels often increase when plants are subjected to growth at low temperatures. We used oxygen isotope fractionation to measure the distribution of electrons between the main and alternative pathways in mung bean (Vigna radiata) and soybean (Glycine max) following growth at low temperature. The amount of alternative oxidase protein in mung bean grown at 19°C increased over 2-fold in both hypocotyls and leaves compared with plants grown at 28°C but was unchanged in soybean cotyledons grown at 14°C compared with plants grown at 28°C. When the short-term response of tissue respiration was measured over the temperature range of 35°C to 9°C, decreases in the activities of both main and alternative pathway respiration were observed regardless of the growth temperature, and the relative partitioning of electrons to the alternative pathway generally decreased as the temperature was lowered. However, cold-grown mung bean plants that up-regulated the level of alternative oxidase protein maintained a greater electron partitioning to the alternative oxidase when measured at temperatures below 19°C supporting a role for the alternative pathway in response to low temperatures in mung bean. This response was not observed in soybean cotyledons, in which high levels of alternative pathway activity were seen at both high and low temperatures.  相似文献

The activity of L-arginine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.19) and L-ornithine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.17), polyamine content, and incorporation of arginine and ornithine into polyamines, were determined in mung bean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] plants subjected to salt (hypertonic) stress (NaCl at 0.51–2.27 MPa). Changes in enzyme activity in response to hypotonic stress were determined as well in several halophytes [Pulicaria undulata (L.), Kostei, Salsola rosmarinus (Ehr.) Solms-Laub, Mesembryanthemum forskahlei Hochst, and Atriplex halimus L.]. NaCl stress, possibly combined with other types of stress that accompanied the experimental conditions, resulted in organ-specific changes in polyamine biosynthesis and content in mung bean plants. The activity of both enzymes was inhibited in salt-stressed leaves. In roots, however, NaCl induced a 2 to 8-fold increase in ornithine decarboxylase activity. Promotion of ornithine decarboxylase in roots could be detected already 2 h after exposure of excised roots to NaCl, and iso-osmotic concentrations of NaCl and KCl resulted in similar changes in the activity of both enzymes. Putrescine level in shoots of salt-stressed mung bean plants increased considerably, but its level in roots decreased. The effect of NaCl stress on spermidine content was similar, but generally more moderate, resulting in an increased putrescine/spermidine ratio in salt-stressed plants. Exposure of plants to NaCl resulted also in organ-specific changes in the incorporation of both arginine and ornithine into putrescine: incorporation was inhibited in leaf discs but promoted in excised roots of salt-stressed mung bean plants. In contrast to mung bean (and several other glycophytes), ornithine and arginine decarboxylase activity in roots of halophytes increased when plants were exposed to tap water or grown in a pre-washed soil—i.e. a hypotonic stress with respect to their natural habitat. NaCl, when present in the enzymatic assay mixture, inhibited arginine and ornithine decarboxylase in curde extracts of mung bean roots, but did not affect the activity of enzymes extracted from roots of the halophyte Pulicaria. Although no distinct separation between NaCl stress and osmotic stress could be made in the present study, the data suggest that changes in polyamines in response to NaCl stress in mung bean plants are coordinated at the organ level: activation of biosynthetic enzymes concomitant with increased putrescine biosynthesis from its precursors in the root system, and accumulation of putrescine in leaves of salt-stressed plants. In addition, hypertonic stress applied to glycophytes and hypotonic stress applied to halophytes both resulted in an increase in the activity of polyamine biosynthetic enzymes in roots.  相似文献

The ameliorative role of 28-homobrassinolide under chilling stress in various growth, photosynthesis, enzymes and biochemical parameters of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) were investigated. Cucumber seedlings were sprayed with 0 (control), 10−8, or 10−6 M of 28-homobrassinolide at the 30-day stage. 48 h after treatment plants were exposed for 18 h to chilling temperature (10/8°C, 5/3°C). The most evident effect of chilling stress was the marked reduction in plant growth, chlorophyll (Chl) content, and net photosynthetic rate, efficiency of photosystem II and activities of nitrate reductase and carbonic anhydrase. Moreover, the activities of antioxidant enzymes; catalase (E.C. 1.11.1.6), peroxidase (E.C.1.11.1.7), superoxide dismutase (E.C. 1.15.1.1) along with the proline content in leaves of the cucumber seedlings increased in proportion to chilling temperature. The stressed seedlings of cucumber pretreated with 28-homobrassinolide maintained a higher value of antioxidant enzymes and proline content over the control suggesting the protective mechanism against the ill-effect caused by chilling stress might be operative through an improved antioxidant system. Furthermore, the protective role of 28-homobrassinolide was reflected in improved growth, water relations, photosynthesis and maximum quantum yield of photosystem II both in the presence and absence of chilling stress.  相似文献

The present investigation recorded significant restoration of seedling growth (root length, shoot length and fresh weight) upon application of 24-epibrassinolide (EBL) and putrescine (Put) to 7-day-old seedlings of Raphanus sativus L. cv. Pusa chetki grown under copper (Cu) ion stress. EBL and Put with/or without Cu ion treated seedlings showed increased titers of ascorbic acid, total phenols and proline when compared with Cu-stressed seedlings. Differential responses in the activities of guaiacol peroxidase (GPOX) and catalase (CAT) were noted for EBL and Put alone or with/or without Cu ion treatment. Decreased activities of glutathione reductase (GR) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) noted for EBL and Put alone were observed to enhance significantly when applied in combination with Cu ion solution. A remarkable decrease in malondialdehyde contents was observed in seedlings treated with EBL and Put alone and with/or without Cu ion stress. Enhanced free radical scavenging activities were also recorded for seedlings given EBL and Put alone or in combination over Cu ion stressed seedlings. Maximum DPPH activity was observed in seedlings treated with Put and EBL 10−9 M + Put. Significant enhancements in deoxyribose and reducing power activities were too recorded for Put, EBL and Put + 10−9 M EBL treatments. Improved seedling growth, antioxidant levels (ascorbic acid, total phenols and proline) and enzymic (GPOX, CAT, SOD and GR) activities and free radical scavenging capacities along with reduced membrane damage in seedlings given EBL and Put with/or without Cu stress suggests significant and positive interactions of EBL and Put in alleviating the Cu ion induced oxidative damage in radish seedlings.  相似文献

Plant growth and seed yield of mung bean were studied in sand culture at different levels of NaCl [0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 mM] in the root medium. Results showed that both dry matter yield and seed yield of plants grown for 14 weeks at 50 mM NaCl and 100 mM NaCl were around 60 % and 25 %, respectively of those for plants grown in control solution. Higher concentrations caused wilting and necrosis of leaves. Very effective exclusion of Na and Cl from salt grown mung bean seed was observed with concommitant high accumulation of Na and Cl in the stem. It is speculated that mung bean plant stem may act as a ‘sink’ for NaCl during the reproductive stage of the plant growth cycle.  相似文献

In this work, the effects of NaCl (0, 50, 100, and 150 mM), proline (0, 5 and 10 mM) and NaCl + proline in combinations on activity of polyphenol oxidase (PPO; E.C. 1.10.3.1) and soluble protein content have been investigated in the root, stem and leaf tissues of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) seedlings grown in embryo culture. PPO activities were higher in all the tissues treated with NaCl, proline and NaCl + proline combinations those that of the control tissues. The protein content was very high in tissues exposed to proline and NaCl + proline combination, but NaCl alone decreased protein contents in root and leaf tissues. The results suggest that proline may play a role as an enzyme-stabilizing agent in salt stress.  相似文献

The effects of 28-homobrassinolide (HBL) on nickel uptake, protein content and activities of antioxidative enzymes were determined in the seedlings of Brassica juncea L. The seeds were treated with different concentrations (0, 0.01, 1 and 100 nM) of HBL for 8 h and then sown in the Petri plates containing various concentrations (0, 25, 50 and 100 mg dm−3) of nickel. After 7 d, observations were made on shoot and root length, Ni uptake, protein content and activities of antioxidative enzymes (guaiacol peroxidase, catalase, glutathione reductase, ascorbate peroxidase and superoxide dismutase). The growth of seedlings was inhibited by Ni, however, less after HBL pre-treatment. The protein content and antioxidative enzyme activities were also increased by HBL treatment.  相似文献

Salinity is an important abiotic factor that limits plant growth and development. The influence of salt stress induced by sodium chloride on plant growth, proline content, level of lipid peroxidation and activities of antioxidative enzymes was studied in F1 hybrid DH10 and four dihaploid lines (207B, 238C, 239K, 244B) of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.). Dihaploids were obtained from anther-derived haploids of hybrid DH10 and were previously proved to be tolerant to Potato virus Y (PVY). In our study, plants were grown in vitro and exposed to NaCl (100 and 200 mM) for 33 days. All dihaploids and hybrid DH10 showed reduced growth after NaCl treatment. They accumulated significant amounts of sodium and proline in response to salt stress as have already been observed in tobacco and other plant species. In tobacco exposed to NaCl the lipid peroxidation level did not increase and activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), guaiacol peroxidase (POD), ascorbate peroxidase and catalase (CAT) mostly did not change significantly. The exception was line 239K where salt induced higher activities of SOD, CAT and POD. Two (238C and 244B) out of four dihaploids appeared more susceptible to salt stress as they showed weak growth in correlation with high proline and sodium content. Therefore, it seems that salt tolerance is not associated with tolerance to PVY. Variations in malondialdehyde and proline content as well as in enzymes activities observed among tobacco lines imply that dihaploids have different genetic properties which might result in different sensitivity to NaCl.  相似文献
