摘要
Responses to low temperature, mechanical wounding and salicylic acid (SA) treatments were studied in 3-week-old (young) and 6-week-old (senescent) Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. plants by analyzing increases in Pal1 and Pr1 expression and superoxide dismutase (SOD; EC 1.15.1.1) and peroxidase (POX; EC 1.11.1.7) activities. Young plants showed higher Pal1 transcript accumulation after low temperature and wounding. In contrast, senescent plants presented higher accumulation of Pr1 transcripts after SA treatments. Similar results were obtained with the ethylene-insensitive etr1 mutant, suggesting that these differences are not related to increased ethylene content in senescent tissues. SOD activity and inducibility were lower, whereas POX activity and inducibility were higher in senescent plants. A possible relationship between senescence-associated changes in responses to stress and in the metabolism of active oxygen species is discussed.
