Effect of low doses γ-irradiation on oxidative stress and secondary metabolites production of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) callus culture

Effect of lead acetate toxicity on experimental male albino rat

“…In addition, ROS are highly reactive to membrane lipids, protein and DNA. They are believed to be the major contributing factors to stress injuries and to cause rapid cellular damage [12][13][14][15][16][17] .…”

Biochemical changes in phenols, flavonoids, tannins, vitamin E, β–carotene and antioxidant activity during soaking of three white sorghum varieties

“…Free radicals may contribute to protein oxidation, DNA damage, lipid peroxidation in living tissues and cells [11] . This oxidative stress may be related to many disorders such as cancer, atherosclerosis, diabetes and liver cirrhosis [12] .…”

Oxidative Stress Studies in Plant Tissue Culture

“…If productions of hydroxyl radicals are not eliminated by any enzymatic and non-enzymatic defense mechanisms, overproduction of its ultimately leads to cell death (Desikan et al, 2005;Gill and Tuteja, 2010). As a result of the measurement of ROS using spectrophotometric, fluorescent dye probe and electron spin resonance (ESR) methods showed that various abiotic stress factors induced ROS formation in a wide range of plant species under in vitro conditions (Mohamed and Aly, 2004;Chakrabarty et al 2005;Gallego et al, 2005;Reddy and Raghavendra, 2006;Azevedo et al, 2009;Shehab et al, 2010;El-Beltagi et al, 2011 …”

“…The spectrophotometric measurement of TBARS or MDA generally used as oxidative stress biomarker and also to assess the degree of LPO. Many researchers reported that MDA content increased under several abiotic stress factors, which were induced in vitro conditions (Gallego et al, 2005;Erturk et al, 2007;Sivritepe et al, 2008;Shri et al, 2009;Azevedo et al, 2009;Cui et al, 2010;Shehab et al, 2010;El-Beltagi et al, 2011;Ghanaya et al, 2011). Another way to detect LPO is determination of Lipoxygenase (LOX; EC 1.13.11.12) activity.…”
