Effect of Boric Acid Application on Antioxidant Enzymes Activity and Gene Expression in Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) Cultivars

Abstract: Boron is one of the most important micronutrients for plants. Plants may suffer from deficiency or with boron toxicity. Boron plays a role in significant physiological and biochemical events in plants such as synthesis of the cell wall, membrane integrity, antioxidation, transport of photosynthesis products to other organs of the plant. The enzyme activities of ascorbate peroxidase (APX), catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (GR) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in three different safflower cultivars (Balcı, Di… Show more

“…SOD activity plays a crucial role in plants under stress conditions, serving as an indicator of oxidative stress [ 13 ]. In boron-toxicity-tolerant plants like Carthamus tinctorius (safflower), low SOD activity was observed at high B concentrations [ 41 ], which is similar to the findings of this study. A similar behavior was observed in woody citrange orange species, when excess B resulted in decreased SOD activity and reduced activity of other antioxidant enzymes [ 42 , 43 ].…”
