This data article is referred to the research article entitled The role of ascorbate peroxidase, guaiacol peroxidase, and polysaccharides in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) roots under postharvest physiological deterioration by Uarrota et al. (2015). Food Chemistry 197, Part A, 737-746. The stress duo to PPD of cassava roots leads to the formation of ROS which are extremely harmful and accel...

Heme-containing plant peroxidases (EC 1.11.1.7) contain a highly conserved single tryptophan residue. Its replacement with Phe in recombinant horseradish peroxidase (rHRP) increased the stability of the mutant enzyme in acid media. The kinetic properties of native, wild-type, and W117F mutant recombinant horseradish peroxidase in the reactions of ammonium 2, 2;-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6...

potato (solanum tuberosum l.) auxiliary buds c.v. white desiree were cultured in ms medium containing 0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 μm concentrations of silver thiosulfate (sts) under in vitro condition. after eight weeks, the effect of silver ions (ag+) in the form of silver thiosulfate complex (sts), as an ethylene action inhibitor, on chlorophyll contents of leaves, ascorbate peroxidase, guaiacol ...

To elucidate how physiological and biochemical mechanisms of chilling stress are regulated by abscisic acid (ABA) pretreatment, pepper variety (cv. 'P70') seedlings were pretreated with 0.57 mM ABA for 72 h and then subjected to chilling stress at 10°/6°C (day/night). Chilling stress caused severe necrotic lesions on the leaves and increased malondialdehyde and H(2)O(2) levels. Activities of mo...

The effects of double stress environment i.e. lead (heavy metal) and NaCl (saline) on the activity of antioxidant enzymes in Vigna radiata seedling were studied. The antioxidant activities of enzymes, i.e of superoxide dismutase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, guaiacol peroxidase, glutathione reductase and their activity proportions were examined. Superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase, gu...

results low concentrations of agnps and short incubation times can have the maximum positive impact on the peroxidase activity, and in the present study the highest activity was seen at a concentration of 40 mg/l and two hours of incubation time. conclusions this study suggests that changes of enzyme activity can occur as a result of the effect of silver nanoparticles on enzyme conformation, in...

in this study, we present changes of peroxidase (e. c. 1.11.1. 7) activities in the root of brassica napus var. okapi during rosette stage until ripening of the fruits. peroxidase activity was determined seasonally over an eight month period. results showed that total peroxidase activity in the root was highest in mid june and the lowest activities were observed from time of winter dormancy unt...

In order to understand the response of tobacco to salt stress, antioxidant enzyme activities, plant biomass and ion content were analyzed in two oriental tobacco genotypes (Basma 31 and SPT 406). Tobacco plants were exposed to 0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mM NaCl for 12 days. The fresh and dry weight as well as shoot and root length of Basma 31 were greater than those of SPT 406 under increasing sal...

a valuable composition of mentha piperita l. essential oil is menthol that is widely used fordifferent industries. the plants were treated with different concentrations of methyl jasmonate (meja) and after 24 h were evaluated for total soluble proteins, chlorophylls (a, b, and total), malondialdehyde, carbohydrates and antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase and guaiacol peroxidase). variance...
