Contribution of mineral nutrition to the response of barley seedlings to polyethylene glycol–induced mild water stress

Abstract: The effect of polyethylene glycol-induced osmotic stress on the activity of nitrate reductase, glutamine synthetase, and glycolate oxidase in leaves of young barley plants grown under two nutrient-supply regimes was studied. The activity of nitrate reductase gradually decreased after polyethylene glycol (PEG) application, while glutamine synthetase and glycolate oxidase were increased. It is speculated that the enhanced glutamine synthetase and glycolate oxidase activities are due to increased flux of metaboli… Show more

“…In addition to the discussed changes in carbon assimilation, water stress may restrain nitrate acquisition by the roots, as well as restrict the ability of plants to assimilate and reduce nitrogen Kocheva et al, 2007). In most herbaceous plants, NR activity takes place predominantly in the leaves (Scheurwater et al, 2002;Reda et al, 2011).…”

“…Pesquisas acerca de respostas fisiológicas de plantas sob deficiência hídrica utilizam freqüentemente osmólitos artificiais adicionados ao substrato por meio de soluções nutritivas, uma vez que estas substâncias permitem fixar um determinado potencial da água no meio por tempo indeterminado, o que não pode ser reproduzido pela interrupção natural da irrigação (ZEKRI;PARSONS, 1990). Um dos principais osmólitos empregados nesses casos é o polietileno glicol ou PEG (AHMAD; JAVED; ASHRAF, 2007;FALTENOVICH;WELBAUM, 2008;KOCHEVA et al, 2007;ZHAO et al, 2006). O PEG consiste em um polímero de óxido de etileno de cadeia longa (C 2n+2 H 4n+6 O n+2 ), inerte e não iônico, comercializado em diferentes pesos moleculares (STEUTER; MOZAFAR; GOODIN, 1981), cuja ação é atribuída ao bloqueio da absorção de água e conseqüente dessecação da planta (LAWLOR, 1970).…”
