The effects of nitric oxide on soybean superoxide dismutase activity during osmotic stress
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
Nitric oxide (NO) is a signaling molecule involved in mediating plant responses to various biotic and abiotic stresses. Major abiotic stresses (drought, salinity, cold) induce common cellular responses, causing osmotic ...
Characterisation of a novel soybean candidate glutathione peroxidase/thioredoxin-dependent peroxidase in soybean exposed to osmotic/drought stress
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
Drought stress is a major contributor to reduced soybean crop yield and quality, this can however be mitigated by the plant’s antioxidant defence mechanisms. One group of antioxidant enzymes that are active in these defence ...
Effects of nitric oxide on novel soybean cystatin gene expression under salt stress in soybean
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
Nitric oxide (NO) has been shown to orchestrate multiple defense responses to both abiotic and biotic stress. Importantly, elevation of nitric oxide content in plants by using nitric oxide generating compounds has been ...
Characterization of a novel soybean candidate glutathione peroxidase/thioredoxin-dependent peroxidase under salt stress
(2012)
The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is prominent in all aerobic metabolisms including plants. For this reason, the redox homeostasis of the production and scavenging of these intermediates is imperative for ...
