Antioxidant activity and fermentative metabolism in the plant Erythrina crista-galli L. under flood conditions

Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the mechanisms of flood tolerance of the root system of Erythrina cristagalli L. plants by measuring the activity of antioxidant enzymes and oxidative stress components in the leaves and roots. Additionally, the activity of fermentation enzymes in the roots was measured. The following two treatments were used: plants with flooded roots, which were maintained at a given water level above the soil surface, and non-flooded plants, which were used as the control. The measurements were … Show more

“…Quanto ao alagamento, não houve a mesma recuperação, o que pode ter ocorrido pelo acúmulo de substância tóxicas como o lactato e etanol nos tecidos vegetais (LARRÉ et al, 2016). Além disso, o alagamento proporciona maior comprometimento do sistema radicular (Figura 1C), o que reduz a capacidade da planta na absorção de nutrientes e translocação de carboidratos de reservas, que são importantes nos momentos de estresse.…”

“…Moreover, the decrease in F V /F M also contributes to the ROS occurrence, such as superoxide anions and H 2 O 2 , which damage chloroplast structures and, consequently, harm A (Yu et al, 2015). The balance between an increase in ROS production and the ability to respond to flood stress through the rapid activation of the antioxidant defense system is related to tolerance or adaptation to this limiting condition (Larré et al, 2016).…”

“…Several enzymes are involved in ROS detoxification, such as superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, catalase, and ascorbate peroxidase, and plants with higher activities of this antioxidant system are possibly more resistant to oxidative damage (Hernandez et al, 2010;Alves et al 2013;Souza et al, 2013;Larré et al, 2016), favoring their recovery potential after stress.…”

“…Furthermore, for the stress periods, we can observe the ooding effect on the SOD enzyme increase since during the 2nd P0, the enzyme activity was 35.06% higher in the root. Larré et al (2016) showed the Si e ciency in mitigating water stress effects by activating enzyme activity that varies with the plant organ. Furthermore, they showed that the balance between an increase in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the ability to respond to stress by rapidly activating the antioxidant defense system relates to tolerance or adaptation to this limiting condition.…”
