Abiotic stress and climate change is the major concern for plant growth and crop yield. Abiotic stresses lead to enhanced accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) consequently resulting in cellular damage and major losses in crop yield. One of the major scavengers of ROS is ascorbate (AA) which
An analysis of peroxidase and ascorbate oxidase activity, phenolic content and antioxidant capacity of isolated maize root cell walls was performed in controls and plants stressed with polyethylene glycol (PEG) or heavy metals, zinc or copper. Peroxidase activity (oxidative and peroxidative) was
The SKU5 similar (SKS) genes encode a family of multi-copper-oxidase-like proteins with cupredoxin domains similar to those in laccase and ascorbate oxidase. Although SKS proteins are known function in root growth and cotyledon vascular patterning in Arabidopsis, their role in plant reproductive
Potassium naphthenate, 20 mm, was applied to the foliage of 14-day-old plants of bush bean, Phaseolus vulgaris L, cv Top Crop, maize, Zea mays L, cv Golden Bantam, spring wheat, Triticum vulgare Vill., cv Neepawa, and a 2 mm solution to 21-day-old plants of sugar beet, Beta vulgaris L, cv CS-43.
