Antioxidative status and acclimatization capacity of bamboo - potential use for air quality improvement in urban areas
(Fresenius Environmental Bulletin, 2013)
Phyllostachis bissetti was introduced to urban areas in Belgrade with the aim to improve the quality of air polluted by heavy traffic. Dust released from fuel combustion adsorbed on the leaves reaching up to 10% of leaf ...
Differential response of antioxidative systems of maize (Zea mays L.) roots cell walls to osmotic and heavy metal stress
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2014)
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 ...
Silicon ameliorates manganese toxicity in cucumber by decreasing hydroxyl radical accumulation in the leaf apoplast
(Oxford Univ Press, Oxford, 2012)
This work was focused on the role of silicon (Si) in amelioration of manganese (Mn) toxicity caused by elevated production of hydroxyl radicals (center dot OH) in the leaf apoplast of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). The ...
Changes in the antioxidative metabolism induced by drought and cd excess in the leaves of houseleek (sempervivum tectorum l.)
(Fresenius Environmental Bulletin, 2013)
House leek (Sempervivum tectorum L.), as a succulent CAM plant, withstands great water stress due to a CO2-concentrating mechanism. It is traditionally used as a medical plant, partly due to high foliar concentrations of ...
Effectiveness of phenoxyl radicals generated by peroxidase/H2O2-catalyzed oxidation of caffeate, ferulate, and p-coumarate in cooxidation of ascorbate and NADH
(Springer Japan Kk, Tokyo, 2008)
The rate of ascorbate and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide plus hydrogen (NADH) cooxidation (i.e., their nonenzymic oxidation by peroxidase/H2O2-generated phenoxyl radicals of three hydroxycinnamates: caffeate, ferulate ...
Variability of antioxidant enzyme activity and isoenzyme profile in needles of Serbian spruce (Picea omorika (Panc.) Purkinye)
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2007)
Variations were studied of the activity and isoenzyme patterns of soluble peroxidase, catalase, catechol oxidase and superoxide dismutase, in needles of the Balkan endemic conifer Serbian spruce, Picea omorika (Panc.) ...
Characterisation of phenol oxidase and peroxidase from maize silk
(Wiley-Blackwell, Hoboken, 2010)
Silk of some maize genotypes contains a high level of phenolics that undergo enzymatic oxidation to form quinones, which condense among themselves or with proteins to form brown pigments. Two phenolic oxidizing enzymes, ...
Are leaf hydrogen peroxide concentrations commonly overestimated? The potential influence of artefactual interference by tissue phenolics and ascorbate
(Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, Issy-Les-Moulineaux, 2002)
We have examined the authenticity of two methods for determination of H2O2 in leaf tissue. We show that the high concentrations of ascorbic acid present in leaf extracts interfere with both techniques. In the chromogenic ...
Senescence- and drought-related changes in peroxidase and superoxide dismutase isoforms in leaves of Ramonda serbica
(Oxford Univ Press, Oxford, 2006)
Ramonda sp. (Gesneriaceae) is an endemic and relic plant in a very small group of poikilohydric angiosperms that are able to survive in an almost completely dehydrated state. Senescence- and drought-related changes in the ...
Changes in peroxidase activity and isoenzymes in spruce needles after exposure to different concentrations of cadmium
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2000)
We studied the guaiacol peroxidase activity, isoenzyme pattern and metal content in the needles of 2-year-old spruce grown on soils supplemented with cadmium concentrations from 1 to 21 mg kg(-1). Following exposure to ...
