THE IMPORTANCE OF OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION UNCOUPLING SYSTEMS FUNCTION FOR SURVIVING OF WINTER WHEAT SEEDLING SHOOTS DURING SHORT-TERM COLD STRESS
Journal Title: Журнал ÑтреÑÑ-физиологии и биохимии - Year 2005, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The influence of uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria on surviving of winter wheat seedling during low-temperature stress was investigated. It was shown that infiltration of winter wheat seedling by exogenous uncouplers caused the increase of oxygen consumption, seedling’s temperature and surviving. Vice verse inhibition of electron transport through the main cytochrome and alternative pathways decreased surviving of winter wheat seedlings during cold stress.

Serum Antioxidant Status to Assess Oxidative Stress in Brucella Infected Buffaloes
The investigation was carried out to assess oxidative stress on the basis of serum antioxidant status in the buffaloes of Murrah breed having brucellosis. For this serum antioxidants like vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E...
Effect of PEG-6000 Imposed Water Deficit on Chlorophyll Metabolism in Maize Leaves
Drought stress is one of the major abiotic constraint limiting plant growth and productivity world wide. The current study was undertaken with the aim to investigate the effect of water deficit imposed by PEG-6000, on ch...
Effect of NaCl Priming on Seed Germination of Tunisian Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) Under Salinity Conditions
Salinity is one major problem of increasing production in crop growing areas throughout the world. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of NaCl priming on seed germination of Tunisian fenugreek ([i]T...
Effect of Osmo-priming on Germination and Enzyme Activity in Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Seeds under Drought Stress Conditions
Seed priming was used in barley to increase seed germination and tolerance on stress exposure. Barley seeds were treated with PEG (Polyethylene 6000 mw). After 7 days our results showed that, seed primin...
