Azospirillum brasilense affects the antioxidant activity and leaf pigment content of Urochloa ruziziensis under water stress

Abstract: Water stress leads to the formation of reactive oxygen species, resulting in degradation of leaf pigments and cell death. This study aimed at assessing the oxidative enzyme activity and photosynthetic pigment content in seeds and/or leaves of Urochloa ruziziensis (syn. Brachiaria) inoculated with Azospirillum brasilense under water stress. Assessments of soluble proteins, chlorophylls a and b and carotenoid contents, as well as the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT) enz… Show more

“…The inoculation of dual-purpose wheat (pasture and grain production) plants with A. brasilense provided an increase in the production of tillers and leaf blades [23]. Under drought conditions, the effects of A. brasilense have been observed on physiological variables such as turgor maintenance or protection against oxidative stress [24,25]. The inoculation; single or combined had no effect on SPAD index of Wheat plants when cropped without water restrictions ( Table 2).…”

“…Being the character of grain production very influenced by environmental factors, the use of inoculation has its importance enlarged. While collaborating for mitigation of hydric stress (Bulegon et al, 2016), also contributes to avoid stress by salty soils (Nia et al, 2012) and higher nutrients absorption area (Morais et al, 2016).…”

“…Thus, seeking an increase in the crop yield it is considered the seed inoculation with growth promoting bacteria (GPB), among them stands out the Azospirillum brasilense (Novakowiski et al, 2011;Dartora et al, 2013;Costa et al, 2015) which have many beneficial effects, for example, stimulus to plants development from the provision of vegetal hormones such as auxins, gibberellins and cytokinin (Kuss et al, 2007), providing in many cases more vigorous and productive plants (Cassán & Diaz-zorita, 2016), promoting higher nutrients absorption such as nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus (Hungria et al, 2010), besides reducing adverse effects caused by environmental conditions such as hydric deficit, by stimulus in the antioxidative vegetal system (Bulegon et al, 2016) and the crops gas exchanges (Bulegon et al, 2017).…”

“…Em relação aos pigmentos fotossintéticos, era esperado que o uso de A. brasilense auxiliasse na manutenção dos teores de clorofila, visto que a inoculação com A. brasilense estimula a síntese de novas moléculas de clorofila, conforme demostrado em trigo (Bashan et al, 2006). Em estudos com estresse vegetal, a imposição de déficit hídrico em Urochloa ruziziensis, associado à inoculação via pulverização foliar de A. brasilense evidenciou a ação destas bactérias promotoras de crescimento vegetal na manutenção dos teores de clorofila nas plantas estressadas (Bulegon et al, 2016). Os autores relacionaram este resultado aos maiores teores de carotenoides presentes nas folhas, que provavelmente protegeram as clorofilas da degradação (Abdelgawad et al, 2015).…”
