The aim of the
current study was to determine whether gallic acid (GLA) triggers the growth,
osmoregulation and antioxidant system related to defense mechanisms in wheat
roots to cadmium (Cd)-induced oxidative stress. For this purpose, wheat plants were
hydroponically grown for 21 (d) and were treated with GLA (GLA1-2; 25 and 75 mM), Cd stress (Cd1-2; 100 and 200 mM) and their combination for 7 d. The significant
reduction in growth (RGR) and osmotic potential (Y_P) was observed under stress. After GLA applications in
response to stress, RGR, Y_P and
proline (Pro) increased, except for 200 mM Cd
plus 75 mM GLA. Under stress, hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂)
was induced by the activated superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity but, NADPH oxidase
(NOX) had no contribution on the accumulation of H₂O₂. Despite
of the increased catalase (CAT) and glutathione reductase (GR), H₂O₂
did not eliminate and then lipid peroxidation (TBARS content) was induced with the
decreased scavenging capacity of hydroxyl radical (OH^·) under stress. Besides, to remove of H₂O₂
content produced by SOD, H₂O₂ could effectively scavenge
through CAT activity in combination form of GLA and Cd. On the other hand, GLA
did not induce the enzymes and non-enzymes related to Asada-Halliwell cycle
(ascorbate peroxidase (APX), GR, dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR),
monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), reduced and oxidized contents of
glutathione (GSH and GSSG contents). Under high Cd concentration, GLA2 could
not eliminate H₂O₂ content because of increased NOX
activity and then in this group (Cd2+GLA2) the scavenging capacity of OH^· did not change and TBARS content increased.
