Toxic effects of boron on growth and antioxidant system parameters of maize (Zea maysL.) roots

Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the possible oxidative stress and the antioxidant response, which were caused on maize by boron (B). For this, 11- and 15-day-old maize seedlings were subjected to 2 or 4 mM B in the form of boric acid (H₃BO₃) for 2 and/or 6 days. At the end of the treatment period, root length, hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) content, malondialdehyde (MDA) content and the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POX) and catalase (CAT) were measured. The results revealed th… Show more

“…Our observation that BA induces the superoxide dismutase Sod1p confirms earlier reports that BA acts on biological Hog1p, Tps1p and Sod1p response to boric acid systems by generating oxidative stress (De Seta et al, 2009;Esim et al, 2012). However, the participation of reactive oxygen defence mechanisms in preventing BA-induced damage appears limited to Sod1p.…”

“…Siddiqui et al (2013) observed that the application together B and Ca were more effective than isolated in the improvement of plant growth. The H 2 O 2 were increased in the leaves and roots, and these results are related to oxidative stress caused by the B and Ca excess in solution (Esim et al, 2012;Blasco et al, 2014.). Siddiqui et al (2013) studying Raphanus sativus submitted the interaction of B and Ca toxic observed similar behavior to this study.…”
