The effects of nitric oxide (NO) in protecting maize (Zea mays) leaves against iron deficiency-induced oxidative stress were investigated. The increased contents of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) and superoxide (O(2)(-)*) due to iron deficiency suggested oxidative stress. The increased contents of thiobarbituric acid-reacting substances (TBARS) and the decreased contents of protein-bound thiol (PT) and non-protein-bound thiol (NPT) indicated iron deficiency-induced oxidative damage on proteins and lipids. Sodium nitroprusside (SNP), a nitric oxide (NO) donor, partially reversed iron deficiency-induced retardation of plant growth as well as chlorosis. Reduced contents of H(2)O(2), O(2)(-)*, TBARS and increased contents of PT and NPT also indicated that NO alleviated iron deficiency-induced oxidative damage. The activities of SOD and GR decreased sharply while the activities of CAT, POD and APX increased under SNP treatment. Our data suggest that NO can protect maize plants from iron deficiency-induced oxidative stress by reacting with ROS directly or by changing activities of ROS-scavenging enzymes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007501 Iron A metallic element with atomic symbol Fe, atomic number 26, and atomic weight 55.85. It is an essential constituent of HEMOGLOBINS; CYTOCHROMES; and IRON-BINDING PROTEINS. It plays a role in cellular redox reactions and in the transport of OXYGEN. Iron-56,Iron 56
D009569 Nitric Oxide A free radical gas produced endogenously by a variety of mammalian cells, synthesized from ARGININE by NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE. Nitric oxide is one of the ENDOTHELIUM-DEPENDENT RELAXING FACTORS released by the vascular endothelium and mediates VASODILATION. It also inhibits platelet aggregation, induces disaggregation of aggregated platelets, and inhibits platelet adhesion to the vascular endothelium. Nitric oxide activates cytosolic GUANYLATE CYCLASE and thus elevates intracellular levels of CYCLIC GMP.
