dc.description.abstractThe present study was designed to examine whether exogenous sodium nitroprusside (SNP) supplementation has any ameliorating action against PEG-induced osmotic stress in Zea mays cv. FRB-73 roots. Twenty percent or 40 % polyethylene glycol (PEG6000; -0.5 MPa and -1.76 MPa, respectively) treatment alone or in combination with 150 and 300 mu M SNP was applied to hydroponically grown maize roots for 72 h. Although only catalase (CAT) activity increased when maize roots were exposed to PEG-induced osmotic stress, induction of this antioxidant enzyme was inadequate to detoxify the extreme levels of reactive oxygen species, as evidenced by growth, water content, superoxide anion radical (O (2) (aEuro cent a') ), hydroxyl radical (OHaEuro cent) scavenging activity, and TBARS content. However, supplementation of PEG-exposed specimens with SNP significantly alleviated stress-induced damage through effective water management and enhancement of antioxidant defense markers including the enzymatic/non-enzymatic systems. Exogenously applied SNP under stress resulted in the up-regulation of glutathione peroxidase (GPX), glutathione S-transferase (GST), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), glutathione reductase (GR), total ascorbate, and glutathione contents involved in ascorbate-glutathione cycle. On the other hand, growth rate, osmotic potential, CAT, APX, GR, and GPX increased in maize roots exposed to both concentrations of SNP alone, but activities of monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR) and dehydroascorbate reductase decreased. Based on the above results, an exogenous supply of both 150 and 300 mu M SNP to maize roots was protective for PEG-induced toxicity. The present study provides new insights into the mechanisms of SNP (NO donor) amelioration of PEG-induced osmotic stress damages in hydroponically grown maize roots.en_US
