Protective effect of exogenous nitric oxide on alleviation of oxidative damage induced by high salinity in rice (Oryza sativa L.) seedlings

Authors

Abstract:

To find the protective role of exogenous nitric oxide (NO) on salinity-stressed rice seedlings, a CRD-based factorial experiment with three replications was conducted in Agronomy Laboratory of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, University of Guilan, in 2012. The experimental design consisted of healthy and vigorous seedlings of two rice cultivars, Khazar and Goohar, the last already known as promising SA13 line, which were exposed to 0 (Control), 50 mM NaCl, 50 μM sodium nitroprusside (SNP) as NO donor solution supplemented with simultaneous 50 mM NaCl + 50 μM SNP for four days. After 4 days, electrolyte leakage and malondialdehyde (MDA) content, activities of antioxidant enzyme, destruction of chlorophyll and soluble protein content in leaves were measured in treated and control plants. The results showed that simultaneous treatment of rice leaves with SNP, suppressed the ion leakage content by 8.5% compared with the results of NaCl treatment. Furthermore, SNP increased the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and catalase (CAT). Exogenous application of NO also reduced peroxidation of membrane lipids, whereas increased the soluble protein content and chlorophyll pigments in rice leaves under salinity stress. These results suggested that NO could effectively protect rice seedlings from salt stress damaged by enhancing activities of antioxidant enzymes to quench the excessive reactive oxygen species caused by salt stress.

Effect of salinity stress on growth and carbohydrate metabolism in three rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars differing in salinity tolerance.

Rice seedlings cv. Khao Dawk Mali 105 (salt-sensitive), Luang Anan (moderately salt-tolerant) and Pokkali (salt-tolerant) were exposed to 0, 50, 100 and 150 mM NaCI for 9 d. Salinity stress caused reduction in leaf relative water contents in all cultivars. Shoot length of cv. Pokkali was least affected by salinity stress whereas increased root length in response to salinity stress was apparent ...

Ethylene-Induced Inhibition of Root Growth Requires Abscisic Acid Function in Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Seedlings

Ethylene and abscisic acid (ABA) have a complicated interplay in many developmental processes. Their interaction in rice is largely unclear. Here, we characterized a rice ethylene-response mutant mhz4, which exhibited reduced ethylene-response in roots but enhanced ethylene-response in coleoptiles of etiolated seedlings. MHZ4 was identified through map-based cloning and encoded a chloroplast-lo...

alleviation of salinity effects by exogenous applications of salicylic acid in sugarcane (saccharum officinarum l.) seedlings

introduction abiotic stresses cause 71% reduction in crop yield around the world, from which 20% is related to salinity stress. the importance of sugarcane increases every day due to greater demand for sugar. since sugarcane has mainly grown in arid and semi-arid regions, salinity is one of the main problems for this crop due to higher evaporation in these areas. salicylic acid (sa) is classifi...
