Exogenously applied poly-γ-glutamic acid alleviates salt stress in wheat seedlings by modulating ion balance and the antioxidant system

Abstract: Salt stress is a main abiotic stress that limits agricultural productivity in many parts of the world. To investigate whether poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) can alleviate the negative effects of salt stress on wheat, a foliar application of 400 mg/L γ-PGA was applied to wheat seedlings, which were then subjected to 150 mM NaCl. Our results showed that after application of γ-PGA, the plant height, the plant weight, and the antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, and catalase were significa… Show more

“…Besides, (Xu et al, 2017) reported that pretreatment with γ-PGA induced cross-talk between Ca 2+ , H 2 O 2 , brassinolide and jasmonic acid, resulting in the accumulation of proline and the improvement of the antioxidant machinery. On the other hand, in wheat seedlings, γ-PGA increased antioxidant defences and modulated ionic balance (Guo et al, 2017). It also protected garden cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) seedlings against Cd and Pb toxicity (Pang et al, 2018).…”

“…Salt stress is a major abiotic stress that seriously affects the growth and development of plants (Ryu and Cho 2015). One important feature of this stress is the induction of oxidative damage to plants by inducing the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (Guo et al 2017). Chloroplast is an important cell compartment for its function in photosynthesis.…”

“…Prolonged stress causes oxidative stress that generates reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as O 2 · − , H 2 O 2 and hydroxyl radicals (·OH − ). The accumulation of reactive oxygen species has been reported to hamper many important biological functions, such as photosynthesis, respiration and nutrient uptake (Ahmad et al , Ahanger and Agarwal , Guo et al ), which in turn induced serious oxidative damage to plants. However, to cope with the increased ROS levels, plants have a complex antioxidant defense system that involves non‐enzymatic antioxidants, including ascorbate (AsA) and glutathione (GSH), and enzymes in the ascorbate‐glutathione (AsA‐GSH) cycle, such as ascorbate peroxidase (APX), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR) and glutathione reductase (GR), which neutralize the effects of stress‐generated ROS (Holler et al , Nahar et al , Hossain et al ).…”
