The effect of silicon on the growth, boron concentrations, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, lipoxygenase (LOX) activity, proline
(PRO) and H 2O 2 accumulation, and the activities of major antioxidant enzymes [superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and ascorbate
peroxidase (APX)] and non-enzymatic antioxidants (AA) of wheat grown in soil originally with toxic B concentrations were investigated.
Applied of 5.0 and 10.0 mM Si to the B toxic soil significantly increased Si concentration of the wheat and counteracted the
deleterious effects of B on shoot growth. The contents of PRO, H 2O 2, MDA, and LOX activity of wheat grown in B toxic soil were significantly reduced by Si treatments. Compared with control
plants, the activities of SOD, CAT, APX and content of AA were decreased by applied Si. Based on the present work, it can
be concluded that Si alleviates B toxicity of wheat by preventing oxidative membrane damage and also translocation of B from
root to shoot and/or soil to plant. 相似文献

As a signaling molecule, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) plays an indispensable role in the modulation of ripening and senescence in fruits and vegetables. To explore the role of H2S in regulating metabolism of postharvest tomato, ripening-related physiological parameters, activities of antioxidant enzymes and gene expression were analyzed in H2S-fumigated tomato fruits. These results show that H2S significantly delayed the color transition and softening of tomato fruit, and maintained higher level of flavonoids and lower level of anthocyanin during storage. Besides, H2S could maintain higher level of nutritional-related metabolites, such as reducing sugar, ascorbic acid during postharvest storage. Moreover, H2S decreased the rate of O2− production, inhibited the production of H2O2 and malondialdehyde (MDA), enhanced the activities of antioxidant enzymes including ascorbate peroxidase (APX), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and guaiacol peroxidase (POD) in tomato fruits, while reduced the activities of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and lipoxygenase (LOX). Besides, the expression of the antioxidant-encoding genes SlCAT2, SlPOD12 was generally upregulated with H2S fumigation. Principal component analysis (PCA) suggests that H2S induced significant discrepancy mainly to the differences in firmness, anthocyanin, flavonoid and the activity of guaiacol peroxidase (POD), and the correlation analysis further shows that H2S affected pigment metabolism and nutritional quality. In conclusion, H2S could maintain better appearance and nutritional quality, and prolong the storage period of postharvest tomato fruits through activating the antioxidative system. 相似文献

Cuttings of Populus kangdingensis and Populus cathayana, originating from high and low altitudes in the eastern Himalaya, respectively, were examined during one growing season in
a greenhouse to determine their responses to drought stress (soil moisture decreased from 100 to 55 or 25 % field capacity).
Compared to control plants grown under 100 % field capacity, those poplars grown under 55 and 25 % field capacity possessed
lower increases in height and stem diameter, and higher contents of soluble sugars, free proline, malondialdehyde (MDA) and
hydrogen peroxide, and higher activities of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), ascorbate peroxidase
(APX) and glutathione reductase (GR). Compared with P. cathayana with greater leaf area, P. kangdingensis with greater root/shoot ratio exhibited lower MDA and H 2O 2 contents, higher soluble sugar and free proline contents, and higher activities of CAT, SOD, POD, APX and GR. These results
suggested that P. kangdingensis was more drought tolerant than P. cathayana. 相似文献

Climacteric fruit ripening has been characterized by oxidative burst and involve active oxidative metabolism with generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In the present paper, the papaya fruit ripening was found to be associated with increase in polygalacturonase (PG), pectate lyase (PEL), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), H 2O 2 and lipid peroxidation concomitant with decrease in the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and guaiacol peroxidase (GPX). Furthermore, a cDNA (903 bp) of GPX from unripe papaya fruit pulp was isolated and cloned. On BLAST analysis, the deduced protein exhibited homology with various peroxidases and specific hits for plant heme peroxidase family namely heme and calcium binding domains. GPX of papaya was modeled and docked with various substrates and inhibitors among which guaiacol and cysteine were found to be the best substrate and inhibitor, respectively. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to test the protective roles of superoxide dismutases (SODs), guaiacol peroxidase (POD), catalase
(CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and glutathione reductase (GR) against oxidative damage and their activities in different
phases of the dry down process in Reaumuria soongorica (Pall.) Maxim. leaves. Drought stress was imposed during 100 consecutive days and rewatering after 16, 72, and 100 days.
The concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H 2O 2), malondialdehyde, and SODs activities were elevated significantly with progressing drought stress. POD and CAT activities
increased markedly in the early phase of drought and decreased significantly with further drought stress continuation, and
POD activity was unable to recover after rewatering. Ascorbate, reduced glutathione, APX, and GR activities declined in the
initial stages of drought process, elevated significantly with further increasing water deficit progression and recovered
after rewatering. These results indicate that: (1) iron SODs-removing superoxide anion is very effective during the whole
drought stress; (2) CAT scavenges H 2O 2 in the early phase of drought and enzymes of ascorbate–glutathione cycle scavenge H 2O 2 in further increasing drought stress; and (3) POD does not contribute to protect against oxidative damage caused by H 2O 2 under drought stress. 相似文献

Oxidative stress is involved in the response of Lycopersicon esculentum fruits (cultivar Micro-Tom) to chilling. Changes in activated oxygen scavenging enzymes, superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC 1.15.1.1), catalase (CAT, EC 1.11.1.6), ascorbate peroxidase (APX, EC 1.11.1.11), and glutathione reductase (GR, EC 1.6.4.2) were examined during ripening after postharvest chilling. Also, lipid peroxidation, respiration, and pigment contents were determined. These parameters were affected by chilling, especially the lycopene content and the respiration rate that showed a high value when the fruits were transferred to higher temperatures. CAT activity increased the day after the fruits were re-warmed, while the activity of GR was higher in the chilled than in the non-chilled green fruits. Lipid peroxidation was more evident at the 'pre-chilled' yellow and red fruits. APX and SOD were not affected by previous chilling in ripening fruits. These results indicate that oxidative stress is generated by conservation at 4°C. The antioxidant response of tomato fruit could be mediated by CAT and GR but not by SOD or APX. Moreover, CAT seemed to respond to the increase in the respiration rate. 相似文献

To understand the ecophysiological adaptation mechanisms of Calligonum roborovskii to altitude variation, this study analyzed chlorophyll a (Chl a), chlorophyll b (Chl b), Chl ( a + b), carotenoid (Car), malondialdehyde (MDA), ascorbate (AsA), proline (Pro), membrane permeability (MP), reactive oxygen species
(ROS), specific leaf area (SLA), leaf mass per area (LMA), leaf nitrogen content based on mass (N mass), and the activities of peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) in leaves
of plants inhabiting different altitudes (A1: 2100 m, A2: 2350 m, A3: 2600 m) on the northern slope of the Kunlun Mountains.
The results showed that Chl a, Chl b, Chl ( a + b), SLA, N mass, and the activity of CAT increased with increasing altitude. LMA, MP, MDA, Car, Pro, AsA, O 2−, H 2O 2 and the activities of SOD, POD, and APX decreased with increasing altitude. The test results also showed that, changes in
venvironmental factors along an altitudinal gradient are not obvious. Soil water content is the main ecological factor. With
increasing altitude, soil water content increased significantly. More non-enzymatic and enzymatic antioxidants played an important
role in eliminating intracellular ROS. They kept the cell membrane in a stable state and ensured the normal growth of C. roborovskii. 相似文献

Rice ( Oryza sativa L.) seedlings stressed with CdCl 2 (0.5 mM or 50 μM) showed typical Cd toxicity (leaf chlorosis, decrease in chlorophyll content, or increase in H 2O 2 and malondialdehyde contents). Rice seedlings pretreated with heat shock at 45°C (HS) for 2 or 3 h were protected against
subsequent Cd stress. Rice seedlings pretreated with HS had similar Cd concentration in leaves caused by CdCl 2 as those non-HS. The content of H 2O 2 increased in leaves 1 h after HS exposure. However, APX and GR activities were higher in HS-treated leaves than their respective
control, and it occurred after 2 h of HS treatment. Pretreatment of rice seedlings with H 2O 2 under non-HS conditions resulted in an increase in APX, GR, and CAT activities and protected rice seedlings from subsequent
Cd stress. HS-induced H 2O 2 production and protection against subsequent Cd stress can be counteracted by imidazole, an inhibitor of NADPH oxidase complex.
Results of the present study suggest that early accumulation of H 2O 2 during HS signals the increase in APX and GR activities, which in turn prevents rice seedlings from Cd-caused oxidative damage. 相似文献

The effect of proline on the antioxidant system in the leaves of eight species of wild almond ( Prunus spp.) exposed to H 2O 2-mediated oxidative stress was studied. The levels of endogenous proline (Pro) and hydrogen peroxide, and the activities of total superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), glutathione reductase (GR), and guaiacol peroxidase (POD) were measured. The degradation of chlorophyll but not carotenoids occurred in leaves in the solution of 5 mM H 2O 2. An increase in membrane lipid peroxidation was observed in H 2O 2 treatment, as assessed by MDA level and percentage of membrane electrolyte leakage (EL). Significant increases in total SOD and CAT activities, as well as decreases in APX and POD activities, were detected in H 2O 2-treated leaves. The three SOD isoforms showed different behavior, as Mn-SOD activity was enhanced by H 2O 2, whereas Fe-SOD and Cu/Zn-SOD activities were inhibited. In addition, Pro accumulation up to 0.1 ??mol/g fr wt, accompanied by significant decreases in ascorbate and glutathione levels, was observed in H 2O 2-treated leaves. After two different treatments with 10 mM Pro + 5 mM H 2O 2, total SOD and CAT activities were similar to the levels in control plants, while POD and APX activities were higher if compared to the leaves exposed only to H 2O 2. Pro + H 2O 2 treatments also caused a strong reduction in the cellular H 2O 2 and MDA contents and EL. The results showed that Pro could have a key role in protecting against oxidative stress injury of wild almond species by decreasing membrane oxidative damage. 相似文献

Copper accumulation, subcellular localization and ecophysiological responses to excess copper were investigated using pot
culture experiments with two Daucus carota L. populations, from a copper mine and an uncontaminated field site, respectively. Significant differences of malondialdehyde
(MDA) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2O 2) concentrations and antioxidant enzyme [superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX)] activities
of leaves under Cu treatment were observed between the two populations. At high Cu concentrations (400 and 800 mg kg −1), a significant increase in contents of MDA and H 2O 2 but a significant decrease in activities of SOD, CAT and APX were observed in uncontaminated population. Contrarily, the
population from copper mine maintained a lower level of MDA and H 2O 2 but higher activities of SOD, CAT and APX. Copper accumulation in roots and shoots increased significantly with the increase
of copper concentrations in soils in the two populations. No significant difference of the total Cu in roots and shoots was
found between the two populations at same copper treatment. There were also no striking differences of cell wall-bound Cu
and protoplasts Cu of leaves between the two populations. The difference was that Cu concentration in vacuoles of leaves was
1.5-fold higher in contaminated site (CS) population than in uncontaminated site population. Hence, more efficient vacuolar
sequestration for Cu and maintaining high activities of SOD, CAT and APX in the CS population played an important role in
maintaining high Cu tolerance. 相似文献

The effects of zinc on growth, boron uptake, lipid peroxidation, membrane permeability (MP), lypoxygenase (LOX) activity,
proline and H 2O 2 accumulation, and the activities of major antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and ascorbate
peroxidase (APX)) in bean plants were investigated under greenhouse conditions. Treatments consisted of control, 20 mg/kg
B, and 20 mg/kg B plus 20 mg/kg Zn. When the plants were grown with 20 mg/kg Zn, B toxicity was less severe. Zinc supplied
to soil counteracted the deleterious effects of B on root and shoot growth. Excess B significantly increased and Zn treatment
reduced B concentrations in shoot and root tissues. Applied Zn increased the Zn concentration in the roots and shoots. While
the concentrations of H 2O 2 and proline were increased by B toxicity, their concentrations were decreased by Zn supply. Boron toxicity increased the
MP, malondialdehyde content, and LOX activity in excised bean leaves. Applied Zn significantly ameliorated the membrane deterioration.
Compared with control plants, the activity of SOD was increased while that of CAT was decreased and APX remained unchanged
in B-stressed plants. However, application of Zn decreased the SOD and increased the CAT and APX activities under toxic B
conditions. It is concluded that Zn supply alleviates B toxicity by preventing oxidative membrane damage.

以祁连山寺大隆林区连续海拔梯度(2 665~3 365 m)上青海云杉( Picea crassifolia)和祁连圆柏( Sabina przewalskii)为材料, 测定叶片中抗氧化保护系统的变化, 探讨常绿木本植物抗氧化系统对高山极端环境的适应机制。结果显示, 祁连圆柏和青海云杉叶片中丙二醛(MDA)含量均与海拔高度呈正相关, 相同海拔上青海云杉MDA含量极显著高于祁连圆柏( p<0.01)。随海拔升高, 两树种抗氧化保护酶超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)、谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)活性和非酶促抗氧化剂脯氨酸(Pro)、抗坏血酸(AsA)、还原性谷胱甘肽(GSH)含量均呈明显增加趋势。青海云杉叶片的AsA水平高于祁连圆柏, 但对海拔变化的敏感性较低; 祁连圆柏的GSH、Pro水平及其对海拔变化的敏感性均高于青海云杉。结果表明, 研究区青海云杉所受过氧化伤害较祁连圆柏更严重, 但两树种清除O 2-·的能力相当而主要负责分解H 2O 2的酶种有所不同: 祁连圆柏中为POD, 青海云杉中则为CAT、APX和GR, AsA-GSH循环系统在青海云杉活性氧清除中的作用强于在祁连圆柏中, 祁连圆柏的活性氧清除物质可能以Pro为主。 相似文献

The effect of foliar pretreatment by hydrogen peroxide (H 2O 2) at low concentrations of 0, 5, 10, and 15 mM on the chilling tolerance of two Zoysia cultivars, manilagrass ( Zoysia matrella) and mascarenegrass ( Zoysia tenuifolia), was studied. The optimal concentration for H 2O 2 pretreatment was 10 mM, as demonstrated by the lowest malondialdehyde (MDA) content and electrolyte leakage (EL) levels and
higher protein content under chilling stress (7°C/2°C, day/night). Prior to initiation of chilling, exogenous 10 mM H 2O 2 significantly increased catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), glutathione-dependent peroxidases (GPX), and glutathione- S-transferase (GST) activities in manilagrass, and guaiacol peroxidase (POD), APX, and glutathione reductase (GR) activities
in mascarenegrass, suggesting that H 2O 2 may act as a signaling molecule, inducing protective metabolic responses against further oxidative damage due to chilling.
Under further stress, optimal pretreatments alleviated the increase of H 2O 2 level and the decrease of turfgrass quality, and improved CAT, POD, APX, GR, and GPX activities, with especially significant
enhancement of APX and GPX activities from the initiation to end of chilling. These antioxidative enzymes were likely the
important factors for acquisition of tolerance to chilling stress in the two Zoysia cultivars. Our results showed that pretreatment with H 2O 2 at appropriate concentration may improve the tolerance of warm-season Zoysia grasses to chilling stress, and that manilagrass had better tolerance to chilling, as evaluated by lower MDA and EL, and
better turfgrass quality, regardless of the pretreatment applied. 相似文献

Ascorbate peroxidase (APX), an antioxidant enzyme, scavenges H 2O 2 that is produced by normal metabolism and cellular oxidative stresses. To investigate its role during germination and seedling
growth, we isolated a cDNA encoding cytosolic APX (cAPX) in hot pepper (Capsicum annuum L). The full-length clone, Ca- cAPX1, is 1011 bp long and has an ORF encoding 249 amino acid residues. During seedling development, cAPX activity and expression
levels were higher at Days 5 and 6 post-imbibition, respectively, whereas those of catalase (CAT) increased at Days 8 and
10. The increased amount of H 2O 2 in that early developmental stage (Day 5) may have been counteracted mainly by APX, and further removed by CAT in cooperation
with APX. To determine whether the accumulation of H 2O 2 via suppression of cAPX expression might be a factor in stimulating germination, we constructed a transformant of CaAPX1. Compared with the wild type, the germination rate for the antisense-suppressed Arabidopsis increased by 26%, while its H 2O 2 content rose by 50%. Therefore, we propose that the pre-germination suppression of cAPX expression stimulates seed germination by promoting the accumulation of H 2O 2. 相似文献

In order to further address the known interaction between ethylene and components of the oxidative system, we have used the ethylene-insensitive Never ripe ( Nr) tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum L.) mutant, which blocks ethylene responses. The mutant was compared to the control Micro-Tom (MT) cultivar subjected to two stressful situations: 100 mM NaCl and 0.5 mM CdCl 2. Leaf chlorophyll, lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzyme activities in roots, leaves and fruits, and Na and Cd accumulation in tissues were determined. Although we verified a similar growth pattern and Na and Cd accumulation for MT and Nr, the mutant exhibited reduced leaf chlorophyll degradation following stress. In roots and leaves, the patterns of catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (GR), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), guaiacol peroxidase (GPOX), superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme activity as well as malondialdehyde (MDA) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2O 2) production under the stressful conditions tested were very similar between MT and Nr mutant. However, Nr fruits showed increased H 2O 2 production, reduced and enhanced APX activity in NaCl and CdCl 2, respectively, and enhanced GPOX in NaCl. Moreover, through non-denaturing PAGE, a similar reduction of SOD I band intensity in both, control MT and Nr mutant, treated with NaCl was observed. In leaves and fruits, a similar SOD activity pattern was observed for all periods, genotypes and treatments. Overall the results indicate that the ethylene signaling associated with NR receptor can modulate the biochemical pathways of oxidative stress in a tissue dependent manner, and that this signaling may be different following Na and Cd exposure. 相似文献

The changes in isozyme profiles of catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and glutathione reductase
(GR) during severe deactivation of total CAT activity by aminotriazole (AT) treatment were investigated in the leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana (Columbia ecotype) in relation to H 2O 2-mediated oxidative stress. In spite of striking deactivation of total CAT activity by 0.1 mM AT, there were no significant
differences in H 2O 2 levels or total leaf soluble protein contents including a Rubisco in both the control and AT-treated leaves. On the other
hand, one specific protein band (molecular mass, 66 kD) was observed on the SDS-gel from leaf soluble proteins whose staining
intensity was strikingly enhanced by AT treatment for 6 h. However, this band disappeared at 12 h. In the native-gel assays
of CAT, POD, APX and GR isozymes, AT remarkably inhibited the expression of the CAT1 isozyme with no effects on CAT2 and CAT3,
and generally had no effect on POD isozyme profiles. However, AT stimulated the intensity of activities of pre-existing APX1
and GR1 isozymes. In particular, it induced a new synthesis of one GR isozyme. Therefore, these results collectively suggest
that a striking deactivation of total CAT activity by AT in A. thaliana leaves largely results from the suppression of CAT1 isozyme, and that APX1, GR1, and a newly synthesized GR isozyme could
complement the role of CAT1 to metabolize H 2O 2 into non-toxic water. 相似文献

Pigeonpea [ Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] is a waterlogging-sensitive legume crop. We studied the effect of waterlogging stress on hydrogen peroxide
(H 2O 2) content, lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzyme activities in two pigeonpea genotypes viz., ICPL-84023 (waterlogging
resistant) and MAL-18 (waterlogging susceptible). In a pot experiment, waterlogging stress was imposed for 6 days at early
vegetative stage (20 days after sowing). Waterlogging treatment significantly increased hydrogen peroxide accumulation and
lipid peroxidation, which indicated the extent of oxidative injury posed by stress conditions. Enzyme activities of peroxidase
(POX), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) increased in pigeonpea
roots as a consequence of waterlogged conditions, and all the enzyme activities were significantly higher in waterlogged ICPL-84023
than in MAL-18. POX activity was the maximum immediately after imposing stress, therefore, it was suggested to be involved
in early scavenging of H 2O 2, while rest of the enzymes (CAT, APX, SOD and PPO) were more important in late responses to waterlogging. Present study revealed
that H 2O 2 content is directly related to lipid peroxidation leading to oxidative damage during waterlogging in pigeonpea. Higher antioxidant
potential in ICPL-84023 as evidenced by enhanced POX, CAT, APX, SOD and PPO activities increased capacity for reactive oxygen
species (ROS) scavenging and indicated relationship between waterlogging resistance and antioxidant defense system in pigeonpea. 相似文献
