摘要

The changes in cell-wall peroxidase (POD) activity and H₂O₂ level in roots of NaCl-stressed rice seedlings and their correlation with root growth were investigated. Increasing concentrations of NaCl from 50 to 150 mM progressively reduced root growth and increased ionically bound cell-wall POD activity. NaCl had no effect on covalently bound cell-wall POD activities. The reduction of root growth by NaCl is closely correlated with the increase in H₂O₂ level. Exogenous H₂O₂ was found to inhibit root growth of rice seedlings. Since ammonium and proline accumulation are associated with root growth inhibition caused by NaCl, we determined the effects of NH₄Cl or proline on root growth, cell-wall POD activity and H₂O₂level in roots. External application of NH₄Cl or proline markedly inhibited root growth, increased cell-wall POD activity and increased H₂O₂ level in roots of rice seedlings in the absence of NaCl. An increase in cell-wall POD activity and H₂O₂ level preceded inhibition of root growth caused by NaCl, NH₄Cl or proline. NaCl or proline treatment also increased NADH-POD and diamine oxidase (DAO) activities in roots of rice seedlings, suggesting that NADH-POD and DAO contribute to the H₂O₂ generation in the cell wall of NaCl- or proline-treated roots. NH₄Cl treatment increased NADH-POD activity but had no effect on DAO activity, suggesting that NADH-POD but not DAO is responsible for H₂O₂ generation in cell wall of NH₄Cl-treated roots.
