Antioxidative Defense Responses to lead-induced Oxidative Stress in Glycine max L. cv. Merrill grown in Different pH Gradient
Journal Title: Журнал ÑтреÑÑ-физиологии и биохимии - Year 2013, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
Physiological and biochemical changes as well as the activities of anti-oxidative enzymes under lead (Pb[sup]2+[/sup]) phytotoxicity were investigated in 20 days old soybean (Glycine max L.) seedlings grown hydroponically in the laboratory under different pH conditions. The rapid uptake of Pb[sup]2+[/sup] was observed immediately after the start of treatment. The quantity of accumulation of Pb[sup]2+[/sup] was much higher in roots than in shoots, its level rising with increasing pH from 3.0 to 8.0. Not only that, an oxidative stress conditions were observed due to increased level of superoxide anion radical and hydrogen peroxide in shoots and root cells of 20 days old seedlings when treated with Pb(NO[sub]3[/sub])[sub]2[/sub] at a concentration of 0, 500, 1000 and 2000 μM. Spectrometric assays of seedlings showed increased level of activities of antioxidant enzymes like catalase, peroxidase and glutathione reductase. The presence of thiobarbituric acid reacting substances (TBARS) indicates the enhanced lipid peroxidation compared to controls. The alteration in the activities of the antioxidant enzymes and the induction of lipid peroxidation reflects the presence of Pb[sup]2+[/sup], which may cause oxidative stress.
