Relative membrane permeability and activities of some antioxidant enzymes as the key determinants of salt tolerance in canola (Brassica napus L.)

Antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of salt stress callus of Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.)

“…The result of present study for antibacterial activity agrees with leaf extract of mangrove plants [29,30,31]. Our reports revealed that the salt stressed S. melongena callus extracts shows more antimicrobial activity compared with normal brinjal plant extracts [32]. The DPPH radical were used to study the scavenging activity of some natural compounds.…”

Comparison of ROS formation and antioxidant enzymes in Cleome gynandra (C4) and Cleome spinosa (C3) under drought stress

“…The induction of this enzyme reflects its important role in the defence mechanism of plants [47]. However, Cavalcanti et al [48] found that SOD activities are not required for the salt tolerance of cowpea.…”

Effect of salt stress on antioxidant enzymes and lipid peroxidation in leaves in two contrasting corn, ‘Lluteño’ and ‘Jubilee

“…A number of studies have indicated that salttolerant plants can induce activity of antioxidant enzymes (Masood et al, 2006;Ashraf and Ali, 2008), and there are also several reports of wild crops which have prospered in conditions of natural stress which have enzymatic antioxidant mechanisms which are constitutively superior than cultivated varieties of these crops (Shalata and Tal, 1998). The characteristics we report for 'Lluteño', including enzymatic anti-oxidant mechanisms, the ability to restrict the passage of salts to the aerial tissues and/or utilize them for osmotic adjustment, maintain a greater concentration of K + and Ca 2+ in leaves in relation to the increase of Na + may all contribute to salt tolerance that this corn variety possesses (Carrasco-Ríos et al, 2013).…”
