Effect of boron toxicity on antioxidant response of sensitive (Hamidiye) and tolerant (Anadolu) barley (Holgarium vulgar) cultivars was investigated. Eight days old hydroponically grown seedlings were subjected to 5 and 10 mM boric acid treatments for 5 days. Growth parameters (dry-wet weight), protein, proline, MDA, H2O2 contents, membrane damage and activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD). ascorbate peroxidase (APX), catalase (CAT) and glutathion reductase (GR) was evaluated in root and shoot tissues. Compared with controls (no boric acid treatment) boron toxicity resulted in a reduction in root weights and did not cause any significant change in protein contents. Boric acid treatment did not cause significant (P > 0.05) changes in proline and H2O2 contents of both tissues and cultivars. On contrary, NIDA contents and electrolyte leakage exhibited a dose dependent increase in shoots whereas no significant change was observed in root tissues. Higher extend of membrane damage was observed in leaves of the sensitive cultivar. Total SOD, CAT and GR activities in shoot tissue of both cultivars did not change significantly whereas significantly higher APX activities was observed at 10 mM boric acid treatments. Significant increases in total SOD, CAT and decrease in GR activities was observed in roots of the sensitive cultivar. Roots of resistant cultivar, on contrary, exhibited enhanced CAT and decreased APX activity whereas no significant changes was observed in total SOD and GR activities. Our data suggest that. boron toxicity induced membrane damage in barley leaves, do not involve active oxygen species and antioxidant enzyme activity is not a critical factor in boron toxicity tolerance mechanism. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on antioxidant response of barley seedlings under boron toxicity. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

Antioxidant responses of shoots and roots of lentil to NaCl-salinity stress Bandeoglu, E; Eyidogan, F; Yucel, M; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (2004-01-01) The effect of salt stress (100 mM and 200 mM NaCl) on antioxidant responses in shoots and roots of 14-day-old lentil (Lens culinaris M.) seedlings was investigated. Salt stress caused a significant decrease in length, wet-dry weight and an increase in proline content of both shoot and root tissues. In leaf tissues, high salinity treatment resulted in a 4.4 fold increase in H2O2 content which was accompanied by a significant level of lipid peroxidation and an increase in electrolyte leakage. Root tissues wer...
ANTIOXIDANT RESPONSES OF PEANUT (ARACHIS HYPOGAEA L.) SEEDLINGS TO PROLONGED SALT-INDUCED STRESS KAVAS, MUSA; Akca, Oya Ercan; Akcay, Ufuk Celikkol; Peksel, Begum; Eroğlu, Seçkin; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Yucel, Meral (2015-01-01) In this study, the effects of long-term NaCl treatment were investigated in two cultivars of peanut designated as drought-resistant and drought-sensitive. Growth parameters, changes in the concentrations of MDA, H2O2 and proline, and the activities of antioxidant enzymes were determined under salinity stress. Growth parameters indicated the superiority of cv. Florispan to cv. Gazipasa under milder salinity stress treatment. However, comparative analysis of the two cultivars showed that MDA, H2O2, ion leakag...
Reproductive toxicity parameters and biological monitoring in occupationally and environmentally boron-exposed persons in BandA +/- rma, Turkey DUYDU, YALÇIN; Basaran, Nursen; ÜSTÜNDAĞ, AYLİN; AYDIN DİLSİZ, SEVTAP; ÜNDEĞER BUCURGAT, ÜLKÜ; Ataman, Osman Yavuz; AYDOS, KAAN; Duker, Yalcin; Ickstadt, Katja; Waltrup, Britta Schulze; Golka, Klaus; Bolt, Hermann M. (2011-06-01) Boric acid and sodium borates have been considered as being "toxic to reproduction and development", following results of animal studies with high doses. Experimentally, a NOAEL (no observed adverse effect level) of 17.5 mg B/kg-bw/day has been identified for the (male) reproductive effects of boron in a multigeneration study of rats, and a NOAEL for the developmental effects in rats was identified at 9.6 mg B/kg-bw/day. These values are being taken as the basis of current EU safety assessments. The present...
Optimising clarification of carrot juice by bacterial crude pectinase Uzuner, Sibel; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz (2015-12-01) This study was undertaken to search for potential use of crude bacterial pectinase enzyme produced from Bacillus subtilis grown on hazelnut shell hydrolysate in clarification of carrot juice and to optimize the enzyme load, pH and time using the Box-Behnken response surface methodology (RSM). The carrot juice was treated with the crude pectinase enzyme (5.60 U mL(-1)) at different concentrations (0.1-0.5%), pH (4-7), and time (2-6 h). The obtained enzyme was also compared with commercial fungal pectinase at...
Physiological, Biochemical, and Transcriptomic Responses to Boron Toxicity in Leaf and Root Tissues of Contrasting Wheat Cultivars Kayihan, Ceyhun; Oz, Mehmet Tufan; EYİDOĞAN, FÜSUN; Yucel, Meral; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (2017-02-01) In this study, we examined physiological, biochemical, and transcriptomic responses to toxic boron (B) treatment in leaves and roots of two wheat cultivars in order to gain better insight into B response or tolerance mechanisms. Delayed development and reduced vigor caused by high B were not observed in leaves and roots of both cultivars. Length, wet weight, and dry weight were not markedly changed under B toxicity. In leaves, when compared to control, 995 and 892 genes were significantly expressed at least...
