Atividade antioxidante e viabilidade de sementes de girassol após estresse hídrico e salino

Abstract: RESUMO -A presente pesquisa teve por objetivo avaliar o efeito de agentes indutores de estresse hídrico e salino na germinação, crescimento e resposta antioxidante de plântulas de girassol. Sementes da cv. M735 foram germinadas em papel umedecido com soluções osmóticas nos potenciais de 0,0; -0,2; -0,4 e -0,8 MPa, induzidos com PEG 6000 e NaCl. O teste de germinação foi conduzido com quatro subamostras de 100 sementes e quatro repetições por tratamento, em câmara de germinação sob temperatura média de 25 ºC, n… Show more

“…The same behavior is expected for CAT enzyme activity since it acts on the products processing derived from SOD activity. This increased activity of both enzymes during the germination process has been reported in a study by Flores et al (2014) with seeds of Melanoxylon brauna, where they observed increased activity of the two enzymes with longer exposure of the seeds to imbibition, and by Carneiro et al (2011), with sunflower seeds in NaCl solutions.…”

“…Thus, a reduction of the activity of this enzyme may result in a decrease of oxidative injuries to seeds, which can explain the results found in this study on castor oilseeds. Carneiro et al (2011) also observed a decrease in the catalase activity associated with loss of viability of sunfl ower seeds. Therefore, this evaluation suggests that catalase can be a deterioration marker for castor plant seeds.…”

“…Reduced expression levels of catalase were also found at 25 ºC for AP8202 and AP8203 hybrids. The antioxidant enzyme systems of seeds are an important primary defense against free radicals generated under stress conditions, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), which catalyzes the dismutation of the superoxide radical in H 2 O 2 and O 2; catalase (CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX), which can break H 2 O 2 in H 2 O and O 2 (Carneiro et al, 2011). The regulation of these antioxidant enzymes can be lost if stress is too severe, greatly increasing the production of free radicals that can lead to a cascade of events that begins with lipid peroxidation, advancing towards membrane degradation and cell death (Greggains et al, 2000).…”
