abscisic acid improves chilling-induced oxidative stress in trichosanthes kirilowii maxim seedlings
نویسندگان
چکیده
trichosanthes kirilowii, an important economic plant in china, is sensitive to chilling. to investigate the effect of abscisic acid (aba) treatment on the chilling tolerance of trichosanthes kirilowii maxim, different concentrations of aba were sprayed on trichosanthes kirilowii leaves and the resulting catalase (cat) and superoxide dismutase (sod) activities and the malondialdehyde (mda) content in the leaves were determined. the results indicated that at 4 ºc, the cat and sod activities increased at first and then decreased with increasing aba concentration. by contrast, the mda content decreased at first and then increased. they both had an extreme value when sprayed with 5.0 or 7.5 mg l-1 aba. a real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed to investigate the influence of exogenous aba on the cat gene expression of trichosanthes kirilowii leaves. the results indicated that at 4 ºc, the cat relative gene expression showed a high degree of positive correlation with the enzyme activities of cat and sod, and a negative correlation with mda content. these results led to three conclusions. first, exogenous aba exhibits significant effect on the chilling tolerance of trichosanthes kirilowii. second, exogenous aba significantly increases the enzyme activities of cat and sod under cold environments. finally, under cold environments and the effect of aba, the relative gene expression of catalase 2 (cat2) gene was found to play an important role in the enhancement of the chilling tolerance of trichosanthes kirilowii leaves.

Amelioration of chilling-induced water stress by abscisic Acid-induced changes in root hydraulic conductance.
Pretreatment of soybean (Glycine max L. var Ransom) root systems with abscisic acid (ABA) ameliorates the deleterious effect of low temperatures on root hydraulic conductance. ABA treatment of root systems subsequently chilled to 10 degrees C with shoots at 25 degrees C resulted in higher leaf water potentials and lower stomatal resistances. If the root systems are left at 25 degrees C, ABA cau...
متن کاملInteraction of Polyamines, Abscisic Acid, Nitric Oxide, and Hydrogen Peroxide under Chilling Stress in Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) Seedlings
Polyamines (PAs) play a vital role in the responses of higher plants to abiotic stresses. However, only a limited number of studies have examined the interplay between PAs and signal molecules. The aim of this study was to elucidate the cross-talk among PAs, abscisic acid (ABA), nitric oxide (NO), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) under chilling stress conditions using tomato seedlings [(Lycopersico...
متن کاملChilling responses of maize (Zea mays L.) seedlings: root hydraulic conductance, abscisic acid, and stomatal conductance.
Maize seedling water relations and abscisic acid (ABA) levels were measured over 24 h of root chilling (5.5 degrees C). At 2.5 h into chilling, leaf ABA levels increased by 40x and stomatal conductance (g(s)) decreased to 20% compared with prechill levels. Despite a rapid g(s) response to root chilling, leaf water potential (Psi(L)) of chilled seedlings decreased to -2.2 MPa resulting in a comp...

متن کاملTroxerutin, a bioflavonoid, improves oxidative stress in blood of streptozotocin-induced type-1 diabetic rats
Type 1 diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by the body's inability to produce insulin due to destruction of the beta cells. There is increasing evidence that reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a major role in the development of diabetic complications. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of troxerutin administration on oxidative stress markers in blood of STZ-induced ...
