| Abstract | We investigated the interaction between heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) and abscisic acid (ABA)-induced antioxidant response of maize to the combination of drought and heat stress. First, the increased activities of enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), glutathione reductase (GR) and catalase (CAT), induced by drought were less than those by heat or combined drought and heat stress, except some individual cases (e.g. CAT in leaves, GR in roots). Second, both HSP70 synthesis and H2O2 production increased prominently under drought, heat or their combination stress; the increase in leaves induced by drought and heat combination was the highest, followed by heat and by drought, while the increase in roots had not visible difference. Third, either in leaves or roots, pretreatment with ABA inhibitor, HSP70 inhibitor and H2O2 scavenger, significantly arrested the stress-induced increase of antioxidant enzyme activities, and ABA inhibitor and H2O2 scavenger obviously suppressed HSP70 synthesis, while HSP70 inhibitor slightly heightened H2O2 accumulation. Finally, 100 μM ABA significantly enhanced the activities of antioxidant enzymes, HSP70 expression and H2O2 production under stresses in comparison with ABA-deficient mutant vp5 maize plants without pretreatment. Thus, ABA-induced H2O2 production enhances the HSP70 synthesis and up-regulates the activities of antioxidant enzymes, resulting in the suppression of cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Our results suggest that HSP70 may play a crucial role in ABA-induced antioxidant defense of maize to drought and heat combination. |

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.
