RESUMO -O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a infl uência da concentração do extrato de L. multifl orum Lam.sobre o desempenho fi siológico de sementes e sobre o metabolismo antioxidante de plântulas de alface. Os tratamentos foram as concentrações de 0; 2; 4; 6 e 8 % do extrato aquoso de folhas. Foram avaliados a germinação, primeira contagem de germinação, índice de velocidade de germinação, condutividade elétrica, emergência de plântulas, massa seca total de plântulas, conteúdo de peróxido de hidrogênio, peroxidação de lipídeos, atividade das enzimas, superóxido dismutase, catalase e ascorbato peroxidase. O extrato de L. multifl orum afeta negativamente o desempenho fi siológico de sementes e plântulas de alface. O aumento da concentração do extrato ocasiona elevação na atividade das enzimas antioxidantes, as quais não foram efi cazes para reverter o efeito tóxico do extrato, o que pode ser evidenciado pelo aumento da peroxidação lipídica e conteúdo de peróxido de hidrogênio.Palavras-chave: azevém, enzimas, Lactuca sativa L., toxicidade ABSTRACT -Action of Lolium multifl orum extract on physiological attributes of lettuce seeds and seedlings. The aim of this study was to evaluate concentrations of L. multifl orum extract on the physiological performance of seeds and on the antioxidant metabolism of lettuce seedlings. The treatments were concentrations of 0; 2; 4; 6 and 8% of the aqueous leaf extracts. Germination, fi rst germination count, germination speed index, electric conductivity, seedling emergence, total seedling dry mass, hydrogen peroxide content, lipid peroxidation, enzyme activity, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and ascorbate peroxidase were evaluated. L. multifl orum extract negatively aff ects the physiological performance of seeds and lettuce seedlings. An increase in the concentration of the extract elevates the activity of the antioxidant enzymes, which were not eff ective in reversing the toxic eff ect of the extract. This can be evidenced by the increase of lipid peroxidation and hydrogen peroxide content.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
