Effects of water stress on protective enzyme activities and lipid peroxidation in Phellodendron amurense seedlings

Abstract

Abstract: This paper studied the effects of water stress on the dynamic variations of malondialdehyde (MDA) and free proline contents,and of superoxide dismutase (SOD),peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT) activities in Phellodendron amurense seedlings.The results showed that after treated with light drought,heavy drought and waterlogging for 40 days,the MDA content in corktree seedlings was significantly higher,being 2.49,2.37 and 4.12 times of the control,respectively,but after treated for 80 days,there was no significant difference among the three treatments.The free proline content had no obvious variation under waterlogging and in the control,but increased after 40 days of light and heavy drought while declined after 80 days of drought stresses,with the increment being higher under heavy drought than under light drought.No regularity was found for the dynamic variations of SOD,POD and CAT activities,but they were significantly higher under heavy drought than under light drought,waterlogging,and the control.

Key words: Water stress, Phellodendron amurense, Cell protective enzyme, Lipid peroxidation
