Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It can be concluded that elevated CO(2) mitigates the oxidative stress caused by salinity, involving lower ROS generation and a better maintenance of redox homeostasis as a consequence of higher assimilation rates and lower photorespiration, being the response dependent on the cultivar analysed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sunflower seedlings subjected to increasing water deficit stress: oxidative stress and defence mechanisms
TL;DR: The results of the present experiments suggest that during water deficit stress the water status of the plants plays a key role in the activation of defence mechanisms as discussed by the authors, and the efficiency of this defence mechanism fell, oxidative processes intensified and soluble protein content decreased further.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidative responses of wheat treated with realistic concentration of cadmium
TL;DR: In this paper, two wheat varieties were grown in a controlled environment with cadmium near threshold concentrations supplying the metal at equal-effect concentrations, i.e., at the lowest metal concentration and the activation in roots of the antioxidative enzymes catalase, ascorbate peroxidase and guaiacol peroxidease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidant system in sporobolus stapfianus: changes in response to desiccation and rehydration
TL;DR: Changes in the amounts of ascorbic acid, dehydroascorbic acid and glutathione and in the levels of related enzyme activities were studied in Sporobolus stapfianus leaves, a desiccation-tolerant or resurrection plant, in response to Desiccation and rehydration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phenols and antioxidative status of Raphanus sativus grown in copper excess
TL;DR: The reduced ascorbate was thus able to replenish reducing equivalents to phenoxyl radicals thus explaining the increase in the phenolic compounds.
