| In this study, the effects of cadmium (Cd) on lipid peroxidation, electrolyte leakage, protein oxidation, ascorbate peroxidase (APX; E.C. 1.11.1.11), catalase (CAT; E.C. 1.11.1.6) and superoxide dismutase (SOD; E.C. 1.15.1.1) activities, and ascorbic acid, non-protein thiol groups and total soluble protein contents in cucumber seedlings (Cucumis sativus L.) were investigated. Seedlings were grown in vitro in an agar-solidified substrate containing four Cd levels as CdCl2 (0, 100, 400, and 1000 µmol L-1) for 10 d. The lowest Cd level decreased the malondialdehyde concentration. Electrolyte leakage increased only at 1000 µmol Cd L-1, whereas protein oxidation and total soluble protein content were enhanced at 400 and 1000 µmol Cd L-1. Activity of APX was... |

| Aluminum toxicity is a serious problem in Brazilian soils and selecting potato clones is an important strategy to produce this crop on these kinds of soils. Potato clones, Macaca, SMIC148-A, Dakota Rose, and Solanum microdontum, were grown in a nutrient solution (pH 4.0) with 0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mg Al L-1. After 7 d, Al concentration in both root system and shoot of all clones increased linearly with increasing Al levels. Based on relative root growth, S. microdontum and SMIC148-A were considered Al-tolerant clones, whereas Macaca and Dakota Rose were considered Al-sensitive. Shoot growth in Macaca linearly decreased with increasing Al levels. Root H2O2 concentration in both Al-sensitive clones increased with increasing Al supply, whereas in... |
