Characterization of the antioxidant system during the vegetative development of pea plants

The antioxidative system was studied during the development of pea plants. The reduced glutathione (GSH) content was higher in shoots than in roots, but a greater redox state of glutathione existed in roots compared with shoots, at least after 7 d of growth. The 3-d-old seedlings showed the highest content of oxidised ascorbate (DHA), which correlated with the ascorbate oxidase (AAO) activity. Also, the roots exhibited higher DHA content than shoots, correlated with their higher AAO activity. The activities of antioxidant enzymes were much higher in shoots than in roots. Ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity decreased during the progression of growth in both shoots and roots, whereas peroxidase (POX) activity strongly increased in roots, reflecting a correlation between POX activity and the enhancement of growth. Catalase activity from shoots reached values nearly 3 or 4-fold higher than in roots. The monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR) activity was higher in young seedlings than in more mature tissues, and in roots a decrease in MDHAR was noticed at the 11^th day. No dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR) was detected in roots from the pea plants and DHAR values detected in seedlings and in shoots were much lower than those of MDHAR. In shoots, GR decreased with the progression of growth, whereas in roots an increase was seen on the 9^th and 11^th days. Finally, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity increased in shoots during the progression of growth, but specific SOD activity was higher in roots than in shoots.     

Selenium Pretreatment Upregulates the Antioxidant Defense and Methylglyoxal Detoxification System and Confers Enhanced Tolerance to Drought Stress in Rapeseed Seedlings

In order to observe the possible regulatory role of selenium (Se) in relation to the changes in ascorbate (AsA) glutathione (GSH) levels and to the activities of antioxidant and glyoxalase pathway enzymes, rapeseed (Brassica napus) seedlings were grown in Petri dishes. A set of 10-day-old seedlings was pretreated with 25 μM Se (Sodium selenate) for 48 h. Two levels of drought stress (10% and 20% PEG) were imposed separately as well as on Se-pretreated seedlings, which were grown for another 48 h. Drought stress, at any level, caused a significant increase in GSH and glutathione disulfide (GSSG) content; however, the AsA content increased only under mild stress. The activity of ascorbate peroxidase (APX) was not affected by drought stress. The monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR) and glutathione reductase (GR) activity increased only under mild stress (10% PEG). The activity of dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), glutathione S-transferase (GST), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and glyoxalase I (Gly I) activity significantly increased under any level of drought stress, while catalase (CAT) and glyoxalase II (Gly II) activity decreased. A sharp increase in hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and lipid peroxidation (MDA content) was induced by drought stress. On the other hand, Se-pretreated seedlings exposed to drought stress showed a rise in AsA and GSH content, maintained a high GSH/GSSG ratio, and evidenced increased activities of APX, DHAR, MDHAR, GR, GST, GPX, CAT, Gly I, and Gly II as compared with the drought-stressed plants without Se. These seedlings showed a concomitant decrease in GSSG content, H₂O₂, and the level of lipid peroxidation. The results indicate that the exogenous application of Se increased the tolerance of the plants to drought-induced oxidative damage by enhancing their antioxidant defense and methylglyoxal detoxification systems.     

Cadmium Affects the Glutathione/Glutaredoxin System in Germinating Pea Seeds

The aim of this work was to investigate the effects of cadmium (Cd) on thiol and especially glutathione (GSH)-dependent reactions (glutathione content, glutaredoxin (Grx) content and activity, “glutathione” peroxidase (Gpx) activity, and glutathione reductase (GR) activity) in germinating pea seeds. Under Cd stress conditions, the overall activity as well as more specifically the expression of Grx C4 and Grx S12 increased. On the contrary, when incubated with Cd ions in vitro, the disulfide reductase activity of both isoforms was drastically inhibited. In the case of Grx C4, this correlated with the formation of protein dimers of 28 kDa as evidenced by electrophoresis analysis. Oxidative stress also affected the GSH status, since Cd treatment provoked (1) a pronounced stimulation in Gpx (a thioredoxin-dependent enzyme in plants) expression and (2) a drastic decrease in GR activity. These results are discussed in relation with the known contribution of Grx system to the thiol status during the germination of Cd-poisoned pea seeds.     

Aluminum-induced changes in reactive oxygen species accumulation, lipid peroxidation and antioxidant capacity in wheat root tips

The present study investigated the effects of aluminum on lipid peroxidation, accumulation of reactive oxygen species and antioxidative defense systems in root tips of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seedlings. Exposure to 30 μM Al increased contents of malondialdehyde, H₂O₂, suproxide radical and Evans blue uptake in both genotypes, with increases being greater in Al-sensitive genotype Yangmai-5 than in Al-tolerant genotype Jian-864. In addition, Al treatment increased the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), glutathione reductase (GR) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX), as well as the contents of ascorbate (AsA) and glutathione (GSH) in both genotypes. The increased activities SOD and POD were greater in Yangmai-5 than in Jian-864, whereas the opposite was true for the activities of CAT, APX, MDHAR, GR and GPX and the contents of AsA and GSH. Consequently, the antioxidant capacity in terms of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH)-radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP) was greater in Jian-864 than in Yangmai-5.     

Antioxidant Systems and O2.−/H2O2 Production in the Apoplast of Pea Leaves. Its Relation with Salt-Induced Necrotic Lesions in Minor Veins

The present work describes, for the first time, the changes that take place in the leaf apoplastic antioxidant defenses in response to NaCl stress in two pea (Pisum sativum) cultivars (cv Lincoln and cv Puget) showing different degrees of sensitivity to high NaCl concentrations. The results showed that only superoxide dismutase, and probably dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), were present in the leaf apoplastic space, whereas ascorbate (ASC) peroxidase, monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), and glutathione (GSH) reductase (GR) seemed to be absent. Both ASC and GSH were detected in the leaf apoplastic space and although their absolute levels did not change in response to salt stress, the ASC/dehydroascorbate and GSH to GSH oxidized form ratios decreased progressively with the severity of the stress. Apoplastic superoxide dismutase activity was induced in NaCl-treated pea cv Puget but decreased in NaCl-treated pea cv Lincoln. An increase in DHAR and GR and a decrease in ASC peroxidase, MDHAR, ASC, and GSH levels was observed in the symplast from NaCl-treated pea cv Lincoln, whereas in pea cv Puget an increase in DHAR, GR, and MDHAR occurred. The results suggest a strong interaction between both cell compartments in the control of the apoplastic ASC content in pea leaves. However, this anti-oxidative response does not seem to be sufficient to remove the harmful effects of high salinity. This finding is more evident in pea cv Lincoln, which is characterized by a greater inhibition of the growth response and by a higher rise in the apoplastic hydrogen peroxide content, O(2)(.-) production and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances, and CO protein levels. This NaCl-induced oxidative stress in the apoplasts might be related to the appearance of highly localized O(2)(.-)/H(2)O(2)-induced necrotic lesions in the minor veins in NaCl-treated pea plants. It is possible that both the different anti-oxidative capacity and the NaCl-induced response in the apoplast and in the symplast from pea cv Puget in comparison with pea cv Lincoln contributes to a better protection of pea cv Puget against salt stress.

以不同耐旱型品种‘南农99-6’和‘科丰1号’大豆为材料,2012年在南京农业大学牌楼试验站进行为期110 d的盆栽试验,研究大豆花期叶面喷施α-萘乙酸(NAA)对长期干旱条件下大豆植株抗氧化系统的影响.结果表明: 干旱胁迫显著降低了大豆地上部干物质量,叶片中丙二醛(MDA)含量及活性氧(ROS)水平显著升高,同时,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)、单脱氢抗坏血酸还原酶（MDHAR）、谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GPX)活性,还原型抗坏血酸(AsA)、还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH)含量及AsA/DHA(双脱氢抗坏血酸)和GSH/GSSG(氧化型谷胱甘肽)比值显著升高,其中‘科丰1号’大豆的抗氧化能力更高,从而维持较低的ROS水平和MDA含量.NAA可显著提高叶片中的APX、POD、CAT、MDHAR活性及AsA/DHA、GSH/GSSG比值,其中‘科丰1号’大豆叶片的脱氢抗坏血栓还原酶（DHAR）活性和AsA含量极显著增加.     

Response of antioxidant systems to NaCl stress in the halophyte Cakile maritima

The effects of salt stress on antioxidative activities were investigated in a coastal halophyte, Cakile maritima . Two Tunisian accessions, Jerba and Tabarka, were compared. Plants were subjected to 100, 200, or 400 m M NaCl for 20 days. Parameters of oxidative stress [malondialdehyde (MDA), electrolyte leakage (EL), and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) concentration], activities of several enzymes [superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxydase (POD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), and glutathione reductase (GR)], and antioxidant molecules (ascorbate, ASC, and glutathione, GSH) were determined. Growth of Jerba plants was improved at 100 m M NaCl as compared to that of control. Tabarka growth was inhibited by salt at all NaCl concentrations. The relative salt tolerance of Jerba was associated with high antioxidant enzyme activities and glutathione content, together with low MDA content, EL, and H₂O₂ concentration. Lower antioxidant activities and higher MDA content, EL, and H₂O₂ concentration were found in Tabarka. As a whole, these data suggest that the capacity to limit oxidative damage is important for salt tolerance of C. maritima .     

Nitric oxide modulates antioxidant defense and the methylglyoxal detoxification system and reduces salinity-induced damage of wheat seedlings

The present study investigates the possible regulatory role of exogenous nitric oxide (NO) in antioxidant defense and methylglyoxal (MG) detoxification systems of wheat seedlings exposed to salt stress (150 and 300 mM NaCl, 4 days). Seedlings were pre-treated for 24 h with 1 mM sodium nitroprusside, a NO donor, and then subjected to salt stress. The ascorbate (AsA) content decreased significantly with increased salt stress. The amount of reduced glutathione (GSH) and glutathione disulfide (GSSG) and the GSH/GSSG ratio increased with an increase in the level of salt stress. The glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity increased significantly with severe salt stress (300 mM). The ascorbate peroxidase (APX), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activities did not show significant changes in response to salt stress. The glutathione reductase (GR), glyoxalase I (Gly I), and glyoxalase II (Gly II) activities decreased upon the imposition of salt stress, especially at 300 mM NaCl, with a concomitant increase in the H₂O₂ and lipid peroxidation levels. Exogenous NO pre-treatment of the seedlings had little influence on the non-enzymatic and enzymatic components compared to the seedlings of the untreated control. Further investigation revealed that NO pre-treatment had a synergistic effect; that is, the pre-treatment increased the AsA and GSH content and the GSH/GSSG ratio, as well as the activities of MDHAR, DHAR, GR, GST, GPX, Gly I, and Gly II in most of the seedlings subjected to salt stress. These results suggest that the exogenous application of NO rendered the plants more tolerant to salinity-induced oxidative damage by enhancing their antioxidant defense and MG detoxification systems.     

Effect of 24-epibrassinolide on growth, protein content and antioxidative defense system of Brassica juncea L. subjected to cobalt ion toxicity

Brassica juncea L. plants were subjected to cobalt (Co) ion (0, 5?×?10^?4, 10^?3, 1.5?×?10^?3 and 2?×?10^?3?M) toxicity and were sprayed with different concentrations of 24-epibrassinolide (24-EBL) (0, 10^?10, 10^?8 and 10^?6?M) at 15-day stage after sowing. They were sampled at 30 and 60?days after sowing and analyzed for growth parameters in terms of shoot length and number of leaves. Thereafter, leaves were excised and content of proteins and the activities of antioxidative enzymes (superoxide dismutase (SOD) (EC 1.15.1.1) catalase (CAT) (EC 1.11.1.6), ascorbate peroxidase (APOX) (EC 1.11.1.11), guaiacol peroxidase (POD) (EC 1.11.1.7) glutathione reductase (GR) (EC 1.6.4.2), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR) (EC 1.1.5.4) and dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR) (EC 1.8.5.1)) were analyzed. The plants exposed to cobalt ion exhibited a significant decline in growth in terms of shoot length and number of leaves. However, foliar spray treatment with 24-EBL was able to alleviate the stress generated by cobalt ion and significantly improved the above parameters. The activities of antioxidative enzymes (SOD, CAT, POD, GR, APOX, MDHAR and DHAR) and protein content were also regulated considerably in leaves of plants treated with 24-EBL alone, 10^?8?M concentration being the most effective. The activities of antioxidative enzymes also increased in leaves of B. juncea plants by the application of cobalt ion to soil and consequently sprayed with 24-EBL. Similarly, the protein content was also regulated in leaves of B. juncea plants treated with 24-EBL as compared to untreated control plants, thereby revealing stress-protective properties of 24-EBL.     

Up-regulation of the leaf mitochondrial and peroxisomal antioxidative systems in response to salt-induced oxidative stress in the wild salt-tolerant tomato species Lycopersicon pennellii

The response of the antioxidative systems of leaf cell mitochondria and peroxisomes of the cultivated tomato Lycopersicon esculentum (Lem) and its wild salt-tolerant related species Lycopersicon pennellii (Lpa) to NaCl 100 mM stress was investigated. Salt-dependent oxidative stress was evident in Lem mitochondria as indicated by their raised levels of lipid peroxidation and H2O2 content whereas their reduced ascorbate and reduced glutathione contents decreased. Concomitantly, SOD activity decreased whereas APX and GPX activities remained at control level. In contrast, the mitochondria of salt-treated Lpa did not exhibit salt-induced oxidative stress. In their case salinity induced an increase in the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR) and glutathione-dependent peroxidase (GPX). Lpa peroxisomes exhibited increased SOD, APX, MDHAR and catalase activity and their lipid peroxidation and H2O2 levels were not affected by the salt treatment. The activities of all these enzymes remained at control level in peroxisomes of salt-treated Lem plants. The salt-induced increase in the antioxidant enzyme activities in the Lpa plants conferred cross-tolerance towards enhanced mitochondrial and peroxisomal reactive oxygen species production imposed by salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM) and 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (3-AT), respectively.     

Lanthanum improves the cadmium tolerance of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Zea mays</Emphasis> seedlings by the regulation of ascorbate and glutathione metabolism

The effect of lanthanum on the metabolism of ascorbate (AsA) and glutathione (GSH) in the leaves of maize seedlings under cadmium stress was investigated. The findings showed that Cd remarkably increased electrolyte leakage (EL), the activities of ascorbate peroxidase, dehydroascorbate reductase, monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), glutathione reductase, L-galactono-1,4-lactone dehydrogenase, and γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase, and the content of reduced AsA, reduced GSH, total AsA, total GSH, malondialdehyde (MDA), and Cd, compared with control. However, Cd significantly decreased the dry biomass of roots and shoots. Treatment with La + Cd evidently increased the activities of above enzymes except MDHAR, the content of reduced AsA, reduced GSH, total AsA and total GSH, and the dry biomass of roots and shoots, compared with Cd stress alone. Meanwhile, treatment with La + Cd remarkably decreased EL and the content of Cd and MDA compared with Cd stress alone. Our results suggested that La could be used as a regulator to improve the Cd tolerance of maize for its role in the alleviation of Cd-induced oxidative damage by regulating the metabolism of AsA and GSH.     

Antioxidative enzymes from chloroplasts, mitochondria, and peroxisomes during leaf senescence of nodulated pea plants

In this work the influence of the nodulation of pea (Pisum sativum L.) plants on the oxidative metabolism of different leaf organelles from young and senescent plants was studied. Chloroplasts, mitochondria, and peroxisomes were purified from leaves of nitrate-fed and Rhizobium leguminosarum-nodulated pea plants at two developmental stages (young and senescent plants). In these cell organelles, the activity of the ascorbate-glutathione cycle enzymes ascorbate peroxidase (APX), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), and glutathione reductase (GR), and the ascorbate and glutathione contents were determined. In addition, the total superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, the pattern of mitochondrial and peroxisomal NADPH-generating dehydrogenases, some of the peroxisomal photorespiratory enzymes, the glyoxylate cycle and oxidative metabolism enzymes were also analysed in these organelles. Results obtained on the metabolism of cell organelles indicate that nodulation with Rhizobium accelerates senescence in pea leaves. A considerable decrease of the ascorbate content of chloroplasts, mitochondria, and peroxisomes was found, and in these conditions a metabolic conversion of leaf peroxisomes into glyoxysomes, characteristic of leaf senescence, took place.     

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

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

The effect of salt stress on lipid peroxidation and antioxidants in the leaf of the cultivated tomato and its wild salt‐tolerant relative Lycopersicon pennellii

The possible involvement of the antioxidative system in the tolerance to salt stress was studied in the cultivated tomato Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. M82 (M82) and its wild salt‐tolerant relative L. pennellii (Corn) D'Arcy accession Atico (Lpa). All analyses, except that of monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), were performed of the youngest fully‐expanded leaf of control and salt (100 m M NaCl) stressed plants, 4, 7, 10, 14, 18 and 22 days after completing the stress treatment. In Lpa, constitutive level of lipid peroxidation and activities of catalase (CAT) and glutathione reductase (GR) were lower while the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR) were inherently higher than in M82. Relative to M82, lipid peroxidation was much lower and the activities of SOD, CAT and APX were higher in Lpa at 100 m M NaCl. The activity of DHAR decreased more in Lpa than in M82 under salt stress, and the activity of MDHAR, which was lower in Lpa than in M82 under control conditions, increased much more and to a higher level in salt‐treated Lpa plants. GR activity decreased similarly in the two species under salt stress. The results of these analyses suggest that the wild salt‐tolerant Lpa plants are better protected against active oxygen species (AOS), inherently and under salt stress, than the relatively sensitive plants of the cultivated species.     

Response of antioxidative enzymes to plum pox virus in two apricot cultivars

Recent evidence has indicated that activated oxygen species (AOS) may function as molecular signals in the induction of defence genes. In the present work, the response of antioxidative enzymes to the plum pox virus (PPV) was examined in two apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) cultivars, which behaved differently against PPV infection. In the inoculated resistant cultivar (Goldrich), a decrease in catalase (CAT) as well as an increase in total superoxide dismutase (SOD) and dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR) activities were observed. Ascorbate peroxidase (APX), glutathione reductase (GR) and monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR) did not change significantly in relation to non-inoculated (control) plants. In the susceptible cultivar (Real Fino), inoculation with PPV brought about a decrease in CAT, SOD and GR, whereas a rise in APX, MDHAR and DHAR activities was found in comparison to non-inoculated (control) plants. Apricot leaves contain only CuZn-SOD isozymes, which responded differently to PPV depending on the cultivar. Goldrich leaves contained 6 SODs and both SOD 1 and SOD 2 increased in the inoculated plants. In leaves from Real Fino, 5 SODs were detected and only SOD 5 was increased in inoculated plants. The different behaviour of SODs (H2O2-generating enzymes) and APX (an H2O2-remover enzyme) in both cultivars suggests an important role for H2O2 in the response to PPV of the resistant cultivar, in which no change in APX activity was observed. This result also points to further studies in order to determine if an alternative H2O2-scavenging mechanism takes place in the resistant apricot cultivar exposed to PPV. On the other hand, the ability of the inoculated resistant cultivar to induce SOD 1 and SOD 2 as well as the important increase of DHAR seems to suggest a relationship between these activities and resistance to PPV. This is the first report about the effect of PPV infection on the antioxidative enzymes of apricot plants. It opens the way for the further studies, which are necessary for a better understanding of the role of antioxidative processes in viral infection by PPV in apricot plants.     

硫化氢对盐碱胁迫下裸燕麦叶片抗坏血酸-谷胱甘肽循环的调控效应

盐碱胁迫是植物遭受的常见非生物胁迫之一,气体信号硫化氢(H₂S)在植物响应盐碱胁迫中发挥着重要作用。为探讨H₂S对盐碱胁迫下裸燕麦抗坏血酸(AsA)-谷胱甘肽(GSH)循环的调控效应,以品种‘定莜9号’为材料,研究了喷施H₂S供体硫氢化钠(NaHS)或H₂S合成抑制剂羟胺(HA)对盐碱混合胁迫下植株生长、叶片活性氧、膜脂过氧化和AsA-GSH循环中抗氧化物质和关键酶的影响。结果表明: 喷施50 μmol·L^-1 NaHS可缓解50 mmol·L^-1盐碱混合胁迫对裸燕麦生长的抑制,降低超氧阴离子、H₂O₂、丙二醛、氧化型抗坏血酸(DHA)、还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH)和氧化型谷胱甘肽(GSSG)含量,提高AsA/DHA和GSH/GSSG,而对还原型抗坏血酸(AsA)含量无显著影响。喷施NaHS还提高了盐碱混合胁迫下裸燕麦叶片AsA合成关键酶L-半乳糖脱氢酶(GalDH)和L-半乳糖-1,4-内酯脱氢酶(GalLDH)及AsA-GSH循环中单脱氢抗坏血酸还原酶(MDHAR)活性,降低了抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)和脱氢抗坏血酸还原酶(DHAR)活性,而对抗坏血酸氧化酶(AO)和谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)活性的影响不大。增添HA后部分或完全解除了喷施NaHS的上述作用。这说明H₂S可通过促进AsA合成和增强MDHAR活性提高AsA-GSH循环效率,降低盐碱胁迫对裸燕麦的氧化伤害。
