Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Salt disturbed antioxidant metabolism in maize seedlings and had detrimental effects on growth and development.
- Intervention effect Salt increased hydrogen peroxide production in maize seedlings.
- Intervention effect Salt altered antioxidant activities and transcript profiles in maize seedlings.
- Association Excessive ROS levels were accompanied by increased catalase (CAT) activity in photosynthesizing maize shoots.
- Association Excessive ROS levels were accompanied by induction of catalase mRNA accumulation in maize.
- Intervention effect Salt increased accumulation of superoxide dismutase (SOD) transcripts in maize.
- Intervention effect Salt caused no significant change in total SOD enzymatic activity or isozyme profiles in maize.
- Intervention effect Higher salt concentrations (above 0.25 M NaCl) were highly detrimental to maize, causing arrested growth and severe wilting.
- Observation Histochemical staining indicated a collapse of the leaf veins in maize, with hydrogen peroxide leaking to neighboring cells.
- Intervention effect High salt severely inhibited transcripts of Sod1, Sod2, Sod4 and Sod4A in maize.
