Comparative study of catalase, superoxide dismutase and lipid peroxidation products in wheat plant exposed to salt stress and to presowing gamma irradiation

Abstract

The effect of presowing gamma irradiation on the activity of antioxidant system of wheat seeds exposed to salt stress was studied. The treatment of wheat seeds with various dozes of gamma irradiation significant reduction in processes initiated by salt stress. A positive effect of small dozes gamma irradiation on the amount of malon dialdehyde, catalase, superoxide dismutase in salt stress exposed wheat seedlings was revealed.
