    Drought priming induced thermotolerance in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) during reproductive stage; a multifaceted tolerance approach against terminal heat stress

    In wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), terminal heat stress obstructs reproductive functioning eventually leading to yield loss. Drought priming during the vegetative stage can trigger a quicker and effective defense response against impending high temperature stress and improve crop production. In the present study, two contrasting wheat cultivars (PBW670 and C306) were subjected to moderate drought stress of 50�55% ?eld capacity for eight days during the jointing stage to generate drought priming (DP) response. Fifteen days after anthesis heat stress (36 �C) was imposed for three days and physiological response of primed, and non-primed plants was assessed by analyzing membrane damage, water status and antioxidative enzymes. Heat shock transcription factors (14 TaHSFs), calmodulin (TaCaM5), antioxidative genes (TaSOD, TaPOX), polyamine biosynthesis genes and glutathione biosynthesis genes were analyzed. GC-MS based untargeted metabolite profiling was carried out to underpin the associated metabolic changes. Yield related parameters were recorded at maturity to finally assess the priming response. Heat stress response was visible from day one of exposure in terms of membrane damage and elevated antioxidative enzymes activity. DP reduced the impact of heat stress by lowering the membrane damage (ELI, MDA & LOX) and enhancing antioxidative enzyme activity except APX in both the cultivars. Drought priming upregulated the expression of HSFs, calmodulin, antioxidative genes, polyamines, and the glutathione biosynthesis genes. Drought priming altered key amino acids, carbohydrate, and fatty acid metabolism in PBW670 but also promoted thermotolerance in C306. Overall, DP provided a multifaceted approach against heat stress and positive association with yield. � 2023 Elsevier Masson SAS

    An in vitro study ascertaining the role of H2O2 and glucose oxidase in modulation of antioxidant potential and cancer cell survival mechanisms in glioblastoma U-87 MG cells

    Glial cells protect themselves from the elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) via developing unusual mechanisms to maintain the genomic stability, and reprogramming of the cellular antioxidant system to cope with the adverse effects. In the present study non-cytotoxic dose of oxidants, H2O2 (100??M) and GO (10??U/ml) was used to induce moderate oxidative stress via generating ROS in human glioblastoma cell line U-87 MG cells, which showed a marked increase in the antioxidant capacity as studied by measuring the modulation in expression levels and activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD1 and SOD2) and catalase (CAT) enzymes, and the GSH content. However, pretreatment (3?h) of Curcumin and Quercetin (10??M) followed by the treatment of oxidants enhanced the cell survival, and the levels/activities of the antioxidants studied. Oxidative stress also resulted in an increase in the nitrite levels in the culture supernatants, and further analysis by immunocytochemistry showed an increase in iNOS expression. In addition, phytochemical pretreatment decreased the nitrite level in the culture supernatants of oxidatively stressed U-87 MG cells. Elevated ROS also increased the expression of COX-2 and APE1 enzymes and pretreatment of Curcumin and Quercetin decreased COX-2 expression and increased APE1 expression in the oxidatively stressed U-87 MG cells. The immunocytochemistry also indicates for APE1 enhanced stress-dependent subcellular localization to the nuclear compartment, which advocates for enhanced DNA repair and redox functions of APE1 towards survival of U-87 MG cells. It can be concluded that intracellular oxidants activate the key enzymes involved in antioxidant mechanisms, NO-dependent survival mechanisms, and also in the DNA repair pathways for glial cell survival in oxidative-stress micro-environment. ? 2017, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
