Antioxidative properties in two maize cultivar under low temperature
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
This study investigated the effects low temperature 15C on antioxidative properties in two cultivar maize (Zea Mays L. S. C. 704 and 206). Experiments show that MDA accumulate under cold. Other parameter such as anthocyanin change is not significant but flavonoids and antioxidative enzymes activity (CAT & POX) increased under low temperature. Phenolic compounds in SC 206 increased but in SC 704 declined. Generally anthocyanin, phenolic compounds, flavonoids and CAT &POX activity in SC 206 was more than the SC704.
