Abstract
The effects of doubled CO 2 concentration (700 μmol/mol) on antioxidant enzymes and programmed cell death in wheat under osmotic stress were studied. The results are as follows: The activities of SOD, POX, and CAT in wheat leaves under doubled CO 2 were markedly higher than those of control while the increasing period and steady period were longer (Fig.1). The H 2O 2 content of the leaves growing under high CO 2 concentration was higher than the control and after PEG6000 treatment, the increase of MDA, electrolyte leakage and H 2O 2 increased slightly than in the control (Figs.2, 3). The DNA ladders were observed from three to five days after PEG treatment in control and from four to seven days in control (Fig.4). During the time when DNA ladders appeared, the activities of SOD, POX and CAT and the MDA and H 2O 2 contents were all nearly steady. The results indicated that programmed cell death was enhanced by active oxygen and alleviated by antioxidant enzymes and elevated CO 2 could enhance the functioning of the antioxidant system to increase the tolerance to osmotic stress.
