With the seedlings of model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon fluoranthene as test materials, this paper studied the physiological responses of plants to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from the aspects of antioxidases and membrane protection system that are tightly related to abiotic stresses. The results showed that under fluoranthene stress, the seedlings experienced oxidative stress and membrane-lipid peroxidization. At 0.75 mmol x L(-1) of fluoranthene, the photosynthetic process was inhibited; at 1.00 mmol x L(-1) of fluoranthene, the malonaldehydic acid (MDA) content increased and the ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity decreased significantly, indicating an accelerated membrane-lipid peroxidization; and at 1.25 mmol x L(-1) of fluoranthene, the peroxidase (POD) activity decreased significantly and H2O2 had a high accumulation, making the seedlings injured severely.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008315 Malondialdehyde The dialdehyde of malonic acid. Malonaldehyde,Propanedial,Malonylaldehyde,Malonyldialdehyde,Sodium Malondialdehyde,Malondialdehyde, Sodium
D010788 Photosynthesis The synthesis by organisms of organic chemical compounds, especially carbohydrates, from carbon dioxide using energy obtained from light rather than from the oxidation of chemical compounds. Photosynthesis comprises two separate processes: the light reactions and the dark reactions. In higher plants; GREEN ALGAE; and CYANOBACTERIA; NADPH and ATP formed by the light reactions drive the dark reactions which result in the fixation of carbon dioxide.
