| Abstract | Although previous research has indicated that reactive oxygen species (ROS) regulate cell extension and tissue ontogenesis, the functions of ROS in aerial roots have not been previously studied. This research evaluated ROS production and dissipation in aerial roots of Chinese banyan (Ficus microcarpa). Aerial root segments (4 cm long) were cut from trees and divided into developmental zones 1, 2, and 3 (0–5, 5–15, and 15–25 mm from root tip, respectively). According to histochemical and biochemical determinations, production of the superoxide radical (O 2 ·– ), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and the hydroxyl radical (·OH) decreased from zone 1 to zone 3. The detected ROS increased with the application of exogenous stimulators of ROS generation and decreased with the application of exogenous inhibitors of ROS generation. Based on protein content, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity increased but peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT) activities decreased from zone 1 to zone 3, whereas based on root segment fresh weight, SOD and CAT activities did not differ among the zones but POD activity decreased from zone 1 to 3. We conclude that ROS are generated mainly in the rapidly developing zones of aerial roots and suggest that NADPH oxidase, POD, and SOD control ROS generation. POD activity and the hydroxyl cycle seem particularly important in ROS generation in aerial roots. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
