| Abstract | Manganese (Mn) is an essential element for plant growth but in excess, specially in acidic soils, it can become phytotoxic. In order to investigate whether oxidative stress is associated with the expression of Mn toxicity during early seedling establishment of rice plants, we examined the changes in the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS), oxidative stress induced an alteration in the level of non-enzymic antioxidants and activities of antioxidative enzymes in rice seedlings grown in sand cultures containing 3 and 6 mM MnCl2. Mn treatment inhibited growth of rice seedlings, the metal increasingly accumulated in roots and shoots and caused damage to membranes. Mn treated plants showed increased generation of superoxide anion (O2 .−), elevated levels of H2O2 and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and decline in protein thiol. The level of nonprotein thiol, however, increased due to Mn treatment. A decline in contents of reduced ascorbate (AsA) and glutathione (GSH) as well as decline in ratios of their reduced to oxidize forms was observed in Mn-treated seedlings. The activities of antioxidative enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and its isoforms Mn SOD, Cu/Zn SOD, Fe SOD as well as guaiacol peroxidase (GPX) increased in the seedlings due to Mn treatment however, catalase (CAT) activity increased in 10 days old seedlings but it declined by 20 days under Mn treatment. The enzymes of Halliwell-Asada cycle, ascorbate peroxidase (APX) monodehydoascorbate reductase (MDHAR), dehyroascorbate reductase (DHAR) and glutathione reductase (GR) increased significantly in Mn treated seedlings over controls. Results suggest that in rice seedlings excess Mn induces oxidative stress, imbalances the levels of antioxidants and the antioxidative enzymes SOD, GPX, APX and GR appear to play an important role in scavenging ROS and withstanding oxidative stress induced by Mn. |

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.
