Nitric oxide reduces oxidative damage induced by water stress in sunflower plants

Abstract: Drought is one of the main environmental constraints that can reduce plant yield. Nitric oxide (NO) is a signal molecule involved in plant responses to several environmental stresses. The objective of this study was to investigate the cytoprotective effect of a single foliar application of 0, 1, 10 or 100 µM of the NO donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) in sunflower plants under water stress. Water stressed plants treated with 1μM SNP showed an increase in the relative water content compared with 0 μM SNP. Drough… Show more

“…The reduction of water availability possibly caused stress to the plants, affecting several physiological processes, such as stomatal opening, decreasing stomatal conductance, perspiration, and photosynthesis, consequently leading to the decline of biomass production (Cechin et al, 2015;Mota & Cano, 2016). Table 2.…”

“…High Na + concentration hinders the uptake of K + ions resulting in reducing agricultural productivity (Munns & Tester, 2008). Oxidative stress (Hasanuzzaman et al, 2014) generates a variety of ROS such as superoxide (O 2 −), hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ), and methylglyoxal (MG); they cause oxidative damage of proteins, alter DNA structure, lipids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates (Cechin et al, 2015; Guan et al, 2000). It may also impair plant metabolic processes such as photosynthesis as well as nutrient uptake and assimilation (Farooq et al, 2009).…”

“…This augmented concentration induces oxidative stress to crops. They are highly reactive in action; they can cause injury to cellular structure [69]. In oilseeds like sunflower, drought overproduces ROS [70].…”
