Physiological and Antioxidative Responses of Endemic Plant Seseli resinosum Freyn & Sint. to Drought Stress
Öz
Seseli resinosum Freyn & Sint. is an endemic perennial plant of rocky habitat of Western Black Sea region of Turkey. To understand drought responses and tolerance mechanism of Seseli resinosum, relative water content (RWC), chlorophyll fluorescence, lipid peroxidation (TBARS), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), proline content and changes in antioxidant enzymes were assayed in polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000 (5, 10 and 15%) induced drought stress in the present study. Leaf RWC maintained unchanged, while chlorophyll fluorescence reduced with high level of PEG (15%). Additionally, H2O2 and proline accumulation were determined with the increase of PEG application, but no increase in the amount of TBARS was determined. Moreover, the increment in H2O2 content under drought was accompanied by increased in superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione reductase activities. On the other hand, PEG-induced drought stress caused a reduction in peroxidase and ascorbate peroxidase activities. These results suggest that endemic Seseli resinosum plant have an efficient drought tolerance, as displayed by enhanced antioxidant enzyme activities with maintaining water status under drought conditions. In this study, important information about physiological and antioxidative responses of endemic Seseli resinosum was revealed for the first time.
