ABSTRACT

Plant exhibits various patterns of survival under salinity and their growth and development depend on their capacity to overcome the stress. Present investigation was focused on the response and regulation of the antioxidant defense system and the level of lipid peroxidation in Panicum miliacium and Panicum sumatrense under salt treatments. NaCl stress was imposed for 20 days after sowing of two Panicum species. The changes in the antioxidant enzyme activity like superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidase, and ascorbate peroxidase and the rate of lipid peroxidation level in terms of malondialdehyde (MDA) were recorded in both Panicum species. A great correlation exists between the antioxidant enzymes and lipid peroxidation. The defense mechanism activated in Panicum species studied was confirmed by the increased antioxidant enzyme activities under progressive NaCl stress. MDA content remained close to control at moderate NaCl concentrations and increased at higher salinities. Although lipid peroxidation increased in both Panicum species under salt stress the percent of increase was low in P. sumatrense indicating its salt-tolerant nature. Another possible conclusion is that improved tolerance to salt stress may be accomplished by increased capacity of antioxidative system.
