Seed vigor, antioxidant metabolism and initial growth characteristics of red rice seedlings under different light intensities

Abstract: This work aimed to evaluate the effect that different intensities of light have on the physiological attributes of red rice seeds and seedlings. Before and after emergence, seedlings were exposed to light levels of 35%; 65% and 100% in a greenhouse. We evaluated shoots and roots, in terms of length and dry mass, as well as leaf area and content of chlorophyll (a, b and total). In leaves and roots, we quantified the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), catalase (CAT) and guaiacol … Show more

“…Rice productivity comes under some influencing indices which are often interdependent. The present study revealed that total number of tillers; and more importantly, number of effective tillers increased with increasing light intensity; this agreed with the findings of [10], who reported that the numbers of tiller increased in parallel with increases in the level of light intensity. In the same vein, the quantity of harvest is directly related to the number of tillers that produced panicles provided there were no disease or pest incidence.…”

“…Boscolo et al (2003) also reported that there were no changes in CAT activity in corn exposed to aluminum toxicity. This same CAT response was observed in Oryza sativa L. under light stress (Aumonde et al, 2013).…”

“…The activities of the SOD and CAT were the highest in the cucumber seedlings grown without supplementary light; exposure to supplementary light resulted in decreased activities of the SOD and CAT of the cucumber seedlings compared those grown without supplementary light. The increase in SOD activity in the seedlings that were not treated with supplementary light might be due to the increased production of superoxide radicals, consummating the dismutation of the superoxide radical to hydrogen peroxide [64]. Zhang et al [65] and Gong et al [66] reported similar results.…”
