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 ...

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

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]
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]
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.
