The effect of paclobutrazol, a plant growth regulator, on antioxidant defense system was investigated in Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don. plants subjected to NaCl stress. The growth parameters were significantly reduced under 80 mM NaCl treatment; however, this growth inhibition was less in paclobutrazol-treated (15 mg l⁻¹ plant⁻¹) plants. The non-enzymatic antioxidants ascorbic acid and reduced glutathione were affected under NaCl stress and they increased significantly under paclobutrazol treatment when compared to NaCl treated as well as control plants (P ≤ 0.05). The activity of antioxidant enzyme ascorbate peroxidase showed a significant enhancement under salinity stress. The catalase activity decreased in roots of NaCl-treated plants, but recovered with paclobutrazol treatment. The results suggested that paclobutrazol have significant role in contributing salt stress tolerance of C. roseus by improving the components of antioxidant defense system.
In a pot culture experiment, the effect of calcium chloride (CaCl2) as an ameliorating agent on sodium chloride (NaCl) stress was studied in Dioscorea rotundata plants. Plants were raised in pots and exposed to salinity stress (80 mM NaCl) with or without 5 mM CaCl2. NaCl-stressed plants showed decreased protein and total sugars, and increased free amino acid and proline content. When NaCl treatment was combined with CaCl2, overall plant metabolism was altered, with increased antioxidant enzyme activity, paving the way for partial amelioration of oxidative stress caused by salinity.
The effect of triadimefon (TDM) a triazole compound on antioxidant potential and eugenol content was studied in Ocimum tenuiflorum L. The plant was subjected to 15 mg/l TDM by soil-drenching on 50th, 70th and 90th days after planting (DAP). Analyses were carried out on 60th, 80th and 100th DAP. Both enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidant potential estimation was carried out. The non-enzymatic antioxidant viz ascorbic acid, a-tocopherol and reduced glutathione were found to increase under triadimefon treatment. The antioxidant enzyme like superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase and catalase activities showed significant increase in TDM treatment. Triazole-treated plants yielded more eugenol (a major component of Ocimum-essential oil) in comparison to control. The study evidenced that TDM residues could be detected in the upper soil layer only and does not accumulate in the soil. These preliminary results suggest that TDM may be useful to increase the antioxidant content in medicinal plants and also to act as an elicitor to enhance the production of secondary metabolites of medicinal plants.
The ability of triadimefon (TDM), a triazole group of fungicide, to ameliorate salinity stress was studied in Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don. plants subjected to sodium chloride (NaCl) treatment. NaCl treatment at 80 mM level decreased overall growth of this plant and reduced the chlorophyll contents, protein, antioxidant enzymes such as peroxidase (POX), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO). The root alkaloid ajmalicine got increased under salt treatment. When these stressed plants were treated with TDM at 15 mg l-1 concentration minimized the inhibitory effects of NaCl stress by increasing the root, shoot growth and leaf area and increased dry weight (DW), chlorophyll, protein contents and the activities of antioxidant enzymes like POX, SOD and PPO, thereby paved the way to overcome the salinity injury. The quantity of ajmalicine was again increased with the TDM treatment when compared to both control and NaCl treated plants. From these results, it is proved that the fungicide TDM have great role in the enhancement of plant antioxidative enzymes and the enhanced scavenging of potentially harmful free radicals, as a mechanism of protecting plants against noxious oxidative stress from the environment and also in the enhancement of active principles.
Environmental stresses (salinity, drought, heat/ cold, light and other hostile conditions) may trigger in plants oxidative stress, generating the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). These species are partially reduced or activated derivatives of oxygen, comprising both free radical (O₂˙⁻, OH‧, OH₂‧ ) and non-radical (H₂O₂) forms, leading to cellular damage, metabolic disorders and senescence processes. In order to overcome oxidative stress, plants have developed two main antioxidants defense mechanisms that can be classified as non-enzymatic and enzymatic systems. The first class (non-enzymatic) consists of small molecules such as vitamin (A, C and E), glutathione, carotenoids and phenolics that can react directly with the ROS by scavenging them. Second class is represented by enzymes among them superoxide dismutase, peroxidase and catalase which have the capacity to eliminate superoxide and hydrogen peroxide. In this review, we have tried to explore the related works, which have revealed the changes in the basic antioxidant metabolism of plants under various abiotic constraints.
