Abstract
The effect of silicon on the growth, boron concentrations, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, lipoxygenase (LOX) activity, proline (PRO) and H2O2 accumulation, and the activities of major antioxidant enzymes [superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX)] and non-enzymatic antioxidants (AA) of wheat grown in soil originally with toxic B concentrations were investigated. Applied of 5.0 and 10.0 mM Si to the B toxic soil significantly increased Si concentration of the wheat and counteracted the deleterious effects of B on shoot growth. The contents of PRO, H2O2, MDA, and LOX activity of wheat grown in B toxic soil were significantly reduced by Si treatments. Compared with control plants, the activities of SOD, CAT, APX and content of AA were decreased by applied Si. Based on the present work, it can be concluded that Si alleviates B toxicity of wheat by preventing oxidative membrane damage and also translocation of B from root to shoot and/or soil to plant.
