Chilling Injury of Sweet Potato Shoots Reduced by Prior Incubation of H2O2 and NaCl

چکیده
Excised shoot tips of sweet potato (Ipomoea babatas L.) were incubated in H2O2 or NaCl aqueous solution for 24h or 48h prior to a 3-day chilling at 2.5°C. Severity of chilling injury was visually observed during a post-chilling 7-day recovery at 21°C, and scored at 0 to 5 (none to most severe injury). In the first experiment, when cv. Purple (PUR) sweet potato shoots were subjected to 3-day chilling at 2.5°C, a 48h pre-treatment of 150 mM H2O2 under 16h photoperiod reduced chilling injury, but H2O2 showed no effect under 8h photoperiod. An increase of Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) occurred two days after recovery at room temperature, and such increase in ORAC was negatively correlated with the severity of chilling injury symptoms observed after seven days at room temperature, indicating the possible protective nature of antioxidants. Because H2O2-reduced chilling injury occurred only on those pre-treated with 16h photoperiod, 16h was employed in subsequent NaCl experiments. In the second experiment, 4 cvs were used: Ace of Spades (ACE), B18, Purple (PUR), and Toka Toka Gold (TTG). Each cv formed a 3 x 2 factorial experiment: NaCl (0 mM, 200 mM or 400 mM) and incubation duration (24h or 48h). The effects of NaCl depended on cultivar (cv). NaCl at 200mM reduced chilling injury more for ACE than B18 and PUR, but NaCl increased the injury of TTG. The NaCl effects also depended on incubation duration (24h or 48h). Across 4 cvs the most beneficial NaCl treatment was 200 mM NaCl for 24h. In view of these results, both pre-treatments of H2O2 and NaCl reduced chilling injury of sweet potato shoots, suggesting that moderate stress imposed as a pre-treatment increased plant tolerance to subsequent chilling under specific

اثر اکسین و سیتوکینین بر پارامترهای بیوشیمیایی و فعالیت آنزیم پراکسیداز (H2O2) استویا (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni) تحت تنش شوری
This research was conducted to investigate the effects of external application of auxin and cytokinin on biochemical characteristics of Stevia (sweet variety), as a factorial experiment with randomized complete blocks design, in Shahed University, Tehran, Iran. Treatments were four levels of NaCl (without salinity (2 mM), 40, 80 and 120 mM) and hormonal factor (0.1 mg/L auxin (IAA) and combined...
متن کاملExogenous hydrogen peroxide positively influences root growth and exogenous hydrogen peroxide positively influences root growth and metabolism in leaves of sweet potato seedlings
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a signal molecule which mediates a wide range of physiological and biochemical reactions during the whole period of plant growth. We studied the effects of various concentrations of exogenous hydrogen peroxide as well as a hydrogen peroxide scavenger, ascorbic acid (AsA) on the growth and development of adventitious roots and leaves of sweet potato seedlings. In cult...
متن کاملStudy of Ulcer Protective Effect of Ipomea batatas (L.) Dietary Tuberous Roots (Sweet Potato)
Peptic ulcer is one of the most prevalent gastrointestinal disorder, commonly occurs in developed countries. The present work was carried out to evaluate antiulcer effect of Ipomoea batatas (L) dietary tuberous roots. The Ethanolic extract of Ipomoea batatas (EEIB) was prepared by dynamic maceration for 7 days at room temperature using 70% ethanol (V/V). The antiulcer activity was evaluated...
متن کاملPotato responds to salt stress by increased activity of antioxidant enzymes.
To understand the response of potato to salt stress, antioxidant enzyme activities and ion content were analyzed for a sensitive and a tolerant cultivar. Nodal cuttings of the tolerant cultivar, Kennebec, and the sensitive cultivar, Concord, were exposed to media without or with 30, 60, 90 or 120 mmol/L NaCl for 4 weeks. On exposure to NaCl, the length and fresh and dry weight of both shoots an...
