Abstract	Changes in the content of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and activity of the antioxidant system were measured in leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh exposed to Cd2+. Mature plants growing in the nutrient solution were treated with Cd2+ at different concentrations (0, 5, 25, 50, 100 μM). An increase of $${\text{O}}_{\text{2}}^{ \bullet {\text{ - }}} $$ content in leaves was observed at 5, 25 and 50 μM Cd2+. A strong accumulation of H2O2 was found only at the lowest Cd2+ concentration. The content of OH*. was high at 50 and 100 μM Cd2+. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was always higher in Cd2+-treated plants than in control. Catalase (CAT) activity decreased with increasing Cd2+ concentration in the nutrient solution. Guaiacol peroxidase (POX) activity was particularly high at the lowest and highest Cd2+ concentrations and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity additionally at 50 μM Cd2+. Enhanced activity of monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR) and strong reduction in ascorbate (AA) content were observed at 25 μM Cd2+. Glutathione reductase (GR) activity was always higher than in control but decreased as Cd2+ concentration increased. However, it was accompanied by gradual content increase of SH-groups.
