Abstract
Two wheat cultivars PBW644 (drought tolerant) and PBW343 (drought sensitive) were compared under PEG/ABA for ROS/nitric oxide (NO)-regulation of antioxidant metabolism. Endogenous ROS/NO under ABA/PEG increased germination and growth, such effect was higher in PBW644. In PBW343, reduced growth under PEG was improved by exogenous ROS/NO. ABA/PEGupregulation of GPX and GST involved ROS/NO signalling which was similar in both cultivars under ABA but higher in PBW644 under PEG. PEG increase of acid protease was higher in PBW343 while of alkaline protease was higher in PBW644. ABA/PEG-upregulation of proteases involved ROS/NO-signalling. Redox state of glutathione under PEG/ABA involved ROS/NO signalling which was induced in PBW343 while in PBW644, it was induced when exogenous ROS/NO applied under ABA (high stress level). Increase of ROS/NO under ABA/PEG was signal, it was higher in PBW644. Such signals were increased by ROS/NO-signalling. Moreover, ROS/NO-signalling also decreased ROS under ABA/PEG. Oxidative toxicity was lesser in PBW644 under PEG, was reduced by ROS/NO signals in both cultivars. However, exogenous ROS/NO under ABA could also increase oxidative toxicity. Under PEG, PBW644 showed higher upregulation of cell wall peroxidase (CW-POX) while lesser soluble peroxidase (S-POX). However, under ABA, it showed higher levels of both CW-POX and S-POX. ROS/NO signals under PEG/ABA contributed to increase both types of POX in both cultivars. PEG increase of phenolics and ABA/PEG increase of lignin was higher in PBW644. Under PEG/ABA, ROS/NOsignalling increased phenolics and decreased lignin in PBW343 while in PBW644, it increased both in shoot while decreased both in root. PEG increased flavonoids. Under PEG/ABA, ROS/NO signals may increase flavonoids.
