Protective enzymes in plants.docVIP

Protective enzymes in plants Summary of plant under stress conditions generated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) will plant protein and other cell membrane and destroying the role of macromolecules, thus affecting the normal growth and development of plants. While under stress conditions there is protective enzymes in plants system, ie antioxidant enzymes, the body can eliminate excess free radicals, antioxidant enzymes in plants are superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), Summary the 3 main features of antioxidant enzymes and function of protective enzymes in plants that provide reference system. Keywords stress; free radicals; protective enzymes; features; function Plants growing in natural conditions, inevitably affected by a variety of stresses, such as heavy metals, drought, salt, high temperature, low temperature, high radiation, UV, and air pollution, nutrient deficiency. These would all be non-biological stress secondary stress, the plants directly or indirectly, excessive formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and ROS on the cell membrane system, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids and other macromolecules has a strong role in the destruction. plants under stress conditions exist protective enzyme system that rid of excess free radicals, the protective enzyme system is actually an anti-oxidation system, which consists of many enzymes and reducing substances, of which superoxide dismutase (Superoxide Dismutase, SOD), catalase (Catalase, CAT), peroxidase (Peroxide enzyme, POD) is the major antioxidant enzymes, antioxidant enzymes of plants through the increased role of strengthening the anti-oxidation resistance of adversity in order to prevent free radical toxicity. Superoxide dismutase 1 Stress conditions, plants will produce reactive oxygen stress, the accumulation of reactive oxygen species is mainly caused by the large amount of superoxide radical and superoxide radicals generated by enzymatic reactio
