Abstract
2 Abstract: Two pot experiments were carried out in the screen of National Research Centre during two successive seasons 20/11/2002/2003 - 2003/2004 to alleviate the harmful effects of high temperature stress (35 C ± 2) on wheat cultivar (Giza 168) by the application of arginine or putrescine o (0.0, 1.25 and 2.5 mM). Wheat plants are grown normally and sprayed with arginine or putrescine at 30 DAS and left to grow. At 40 DAS (double ridge stage), the plants are exposed to high temperature stress (35 C ± 2) for 4 or 8 hrs while the control plants left at 20 C ± 2. The plant o o samples were harvested at 48 hrs after the exposure to high temperature. The induced changes in the enzyme activities, lipid peroxidation, nucleic acid contents and protein electrophoretic pattern in the treated wheat plants were determined., The activities of POX, PPO and IAA - oxidase enzymes were increased significantly in wheat plants exposed to high temperature, while, SOD and CAT activities were decreased compared to the values of plants exposed to high temperature stress. Arginine or putrescine treated plants prior to high temperature exposure showed significant reductions in the activities of POX, PPO and IAA - oxidase enzymes and significant increases in SOD and CAT activities than those of the corresponding plants exposed to high temperature stress alone. Exposure of wheat plants to high temperature (4 or 8 hrs) increased significantly the MDA contents in the wheat shoots as a result of lipid peroxidation. Arginine or putrescine treatments induced significant reduction in these contents. DNA contents of wheat plants exposed to high temperature decreased significantly. Such effect was much more pronounced in response to 8 hrs. In the meantime, RNA contents exhibited significant increases over the control. The application of either arginine or Put on wheat plants increased significantly both DNA and RNA contents over the plants exposed to the high temperature stress or the control plants. The changes in the protein electrophoretic pattern of the exposed wheat plants to 4 or 8 h of high temperature exhibited an increase in the number of protein bands as compared to the control. The appearance of new proteins in wheat shoots subjected to the high temperature stress are at molecular weights 111, 90, 70, 45, 32, 24 and 8 KDa. All these proteins are known to be heat shock proteins. Exposing wheat plants to high temperature after arginine or Put treatments exhibited slight increases in the number of bands compared to the plants exposed to the high temperature stress alone. Arginine or Put treatment promotes the synthesis of a new protein bands at M wt 80.9 K Da under normal and high temperature stress. The magnitude of such responses was more pronounced in case of 2.5 mM treatments of either substance.
