Investigation of some antioxidant activity and lipid peroxidation various in roca (Eruca sativa) treated with manganase and iron stress

ABSTRACTThe roca plants (Eruca Sativa) germinated for eight days were exposed to Mn2+ and2+Fe stresses in changing concentration between 0-5000 M in 16 hours light 8 hours darkconditioned growing chamber. The activities of superoxide dismutase (p<0.05), guaiacolperoxidase (p<0.05) and lipid peroxidation levels were found higher in the roca leavesstressed with manganese toxicity than the control group, but ascorbate peroxidase activitywas lower. A decrease in chlorophyll content in the leaves was detected according to theincreased manganese concentration (p<0.01). Brownish spots were noticed on roca leavesafter six days applied stress, and decreases in relative growing rate and body length(leave+stem).An increase in activities of superoxide dismutase (p<0.05), ascorbate peroxidase(p<0.05) guaiacol peroxidase (p<).05) and lipid peroxidation levels (p<0.05) was observed inthe roca rots exposed to manganese toxicity between 3.45-5000 M concentration range inaccordance with manganese toxicity after 15 days treatment period. When the plant growthparameters were investigated, a decrease was observed in rots length of roca plant with theincreased concentration of manganese.After 15 days period, an increase in activities of superoxide dismutase (p<0.01),guaiacol peroxidase (p<0.01) and lipid peroxidation levels (p<0.05) and a decrease in activityof ascorbate peroxidase (p<0.05) and content of chlorophyll were detected in the roca leavesexposed to manganese deficiency between 0-3.45 M concentration rang at the end of 15days when it was compared with the control group. A decrease of 2.15% in relative growthrate and 10% in body length (leaves + stem) was observed when the roca leaves exposed tomanganese deficiency for 6 days.A significant increase in the activities of superoxide dismutase (p<0.01), ascorbateperoxidase (p<0.05), guaiacol peroxidase (p<0.05) and lipid peroxidation levels wasobserved in the roca leaves exposed to Fe2+ toxicity at the end of 15 days when it wascompared with the control group. A decrease in content of chlorophyll (p<0.05) was detectedin 15 days treatment periods in accordance with iron concentration. In 6 days period adecrease in relative growth rate and body length (leaves+stem) was observed.In the roca rots stressed with the increased Fe2+ concentration, an increase in theactivities of superoxide dismutase (p<0.01), guaiacol peroxidase (p<0.05) and lipidperoxidation levels and a decrease in activity of ascorbate peroxidase (p<0.05) weredetected when it was compared with the control group. A decrease in length of the roca plantrots and branches in rots were detected when it was compared with the control groups.An increase in the levels of superoxide dismutase (p<0.05) and lipid peroksidasyonbut a decrease in the activities of ascorbate peroxidase and guaiacol peroxidase wereobserved in roca leaves exposed to Fe2+ deficiency between 0-34.7 M concentration rangefor 15 days when it was compared with the control group. A decrease of 31% in totalchlorophyll content (p<0.01) was detected in roca leaves exposed to iron deficiency when itwas compared to the control group. According to decreasing iron concentration, a yellowishcolour and a decrease of 15% in growing parameters were detected after 6 days.Key Words.
