TLDR
In this paper, the efficiency of pretreatment as foliar spray of indole-3-acetic acid, gibberellic acid and kinetin, each ranging from 0.1 to 10.0 μM concentration, in restoring the metabolic alterations imposed by NaCl salinity was investigated.
Abstract
Efficiency of pretreatment as foliar spray of indole-3-acetic acid, gibberellic acid and kinetin, each ranging from 0.1 to 10.0 μM concentration, in restoring the metabolic alterations imposed by NaCl salinity was investigated in Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek. Glycolate oxidase, superoxide dismutase, catalase and peroxidase activities increased under stress in leaves and roots also. Malondialdehyde content and total peroxide content also increased under stress. All the three hormones used were able to overcome to variable extents the adverse effects of stress imposed by NaCl to these parameters.

The combined effects of gibberellic acid and salinity on some antioxidant enzyme activities, plant growth parameters and nutritional status in maize plants

TL;DR: Foliar application of GA 3 counteracted some of the adverse effects of NaCl salinity with the accumulation of proline which maintained membrane permeability and increased macro and micronutrient levels.

The Role of Phytohormones in Alleviating Salt Stress in Crop Plants

TL;DR: The role of abscisic acid (ABA), indole acetic acid (IAA), cytokinins (CK), gibberellic Acid (GA), brassinosteroids (BR), jasmonates (JA), salicylic acid (SA) and triazoles (TR) in alleviating salt stress in crops is reviewed.

Photoperoxidation in isolated chloroplasts. I. Kinetics and stoichiometry of fatty acid peroxidation.

TL;DR: It is concluded that isolated chloroplasts upon illumination can undergo a cyclic peroxidation initiated by the light absorbed by chlorophyll.

The assay of catalases and peroxidases.

TL;DR: Two methods are described for the catalase assay by disappearance of peroxide are: ultraviolet spectrophotometry and permanganate titration and indirect measurements of the decrease of light absorption caused by the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide byCatalase.

Hepatic Microsomal Ethanol Oxidation

TL;DR: It is concluded that the NADPH-dependent microsomal ethanol-oxidizing system of Lieber and DeCarli is due to a hydrogen peroxide formation from NADPH and a subsequent peroxidation of ethanol by contaminating catalase.

Subcellular localization and stress responses of superoxide dismutase isoforms from leaves in the C3‐CAM intermediate halophyte Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L.

TL;DR: Treatment of Mesembryanthemum crystallinum for several days with 0·4 kmol m–3 NaCl in the root medium, in parallel to an increase of the cell sap osmolarity enhances activity of important antioxidative enzymes, such as superoxide dismutases (SODs), and explains earlier findings that CAM plants are more resistant than C3 plants to environmental stress as imposed by, for example, SO2 and O3.
