摘要
The effects of 28-homobrassinolide (28-homoBL) on seedling growth, lipid peroxidation and antioxidative enzyme activities in the seedlings of Zea mays L. (var. Partap-1) under salt (NaCl) stress were studied. The surface-sterilized seeds were germinated in petriplates containing different concentrations of NaCl (25, 50, 75 and 100 mM) only, 28-homoBL (10(-7), 10(-9) and 10(-11) M) only and NaCl supplemented with 28-homoBL for 7 days. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC 1.15.1.1), guaiacol peroxidase (POD, EC 1.11.1.7), catalase (CAT, EC 1.11.1.6), ascorbate peroxidase (APOX, EC 1.11.1.11) and glutathione reductase (EC 1.6.4.2) were analysed in 7 day-old seedlings. It was observed that 28-homoBL treatments reduced the toxicity of salt on seedling growth considerably. Lipid peroxidation level was significantly increased under saline stress, but lowered with 28-homoBL applications revealing less oxidative damage. Further 28-homoBL treatments to the seedlings showed an enhancement in activities of SOD, POD, CAT and APOX. The activities of all antioxidative enzymes were further increased in seedlings treated with solution containing 28-homoBL and salt together as compared to seedlings treated with different concentration of salt solution only.
