Melatonin Improves Heat Tolerance in Kiwifruit Seedlings through Promoting Antioxidant Enzymatic Activity and Glutathione S-Transferase Transcription

open access: yesMolecules, 2018
Evidence exists to suggest that melatonin (MT) is important to abiotic stress tolerance in plants. Here, we investigated whether exogenous MT reduces heat damage on biological parameters and gene expression in kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) seedlings ...

Ascorbate-Glutathione Cycle Genes Families in Euphorbiaceae: Characterization and Evolutionary Analysis

open access: yesBiology, 2022
Ascorbate peroxidase (APX), Monodehydroascorbate Reductase (MDAR), Dehydroascorbate Reductase (DHAR) and Glutathione Reductase (GR) enzymes participate in the ascorbate-glutathione cycle, which exerts a central role in the antioxidant metabolism in ...

Role of antioxidative system during the development and senescence of cucumber fruit

open access: yesBiologia Plantarum, 2012
The oxidative processes and antioxidative system in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) fruit were determined during development and senescence. Four distinct developmental stages could be delineated during fruit maturation: immature (3-8 d after anthesis, DAA)

Changes in element accumulation, phenolic metabolism, and antioxidative enzyme activities in the red-skin roots of Panax ginseng [PDF]

open access: yes, 1903
BackgroundRed-skin root disease has seriously decreased the quality and production of Panax ginseng (ginseng).MethodsTo explore the disease's origin, comparative analysis was performed in different parts of the plant, particularly the epidermis, cortex ...

Reactive oxygen species in Hevea brasiliensis latex and relevance to tapping panel dryness [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Environmental stress can lead to oxidative stress resulting from an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and involves redox adjustments. Natural rubber is synthesized in laticifers, which is a non-photosynthetic tissue particularly prone to ...

Monodehydroascorbate reductase from cucumber is a flavin adenine dinucleotide enzyme.

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1985
Monodehydroascorbate reductase (EC 1.6.5.4) was purified from cucumber fruit to a homogeneous state as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The cucumber monodehydroascorbate reductase was a monomer with a molecular weight of 47,000. It contained 1 mol of FAD/mol of enzyme which was reduced by NAD(P)H and reoxidized by monodehydroascorbate. The

Paraquat pretreatment alters antioxidant enzyme activity and protects chloroplast ultrastructure in heat-stressed cucumber leaves

open access: yesBiologia Plantarum, 2011
Cucumis sativus L. seedlings were pretreated 1 h with 10 μM paraquat (PQ) and then were subjected to normal (25/18 °C) or elevated (42/38 °C) temperature to investigate whether PQ can protect plants against heat stress.

Effects of triacontanol on ascorbate-glutathione cycle in Brassica napus L. exposed to cadmium-induced oxidative stress. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The ability of exogenous triacontanol (TRIA), a plant growth regulator, to reduce Cd toxicity was studied in canola (Brassica napus L.) plants. The following biological parameters were examined in canola seedlings to investigate TRIA-induced tolerance ...

Monodehydroascorbate Reductase Plays a Role in the Tolerance of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii to Photooxidative Stress [PDF]

open access: yesPlant and Cell Physiology, 2019
AbstractMonodehydroascorbate reductase (MDAR; EC 1.6.5.4) is one of the key enzymes in the conversion of oxidized ascorbate (AsA) back to reduced AsA in plants. This study investigated the role of MDAR in the tolerance of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii P.A. Dangeard to photooxidative stress by overexpression and downregulation of the CrMDAR1 gene.

Exogenous glutathione attenuates lead-induced oxidative stress in wheat by improving antioxidant defense and physiological mechanisms

open access: yesJournal of Plant Interactions, 2018
This study aims at investigate how exogenous glutathione (GSH, 1.0 mM) affects the oxidative stress and antioxidant defense in wheat seedlings under lead (Pb) stress [0.5 and 1.0 mM Pb(NO3)2]. Lead treatment decreased growth, leaf relative water content,
