Effect of salinity on the specific activities of antioxidative enzymes in Homalomena sp. cultures

Abstract

Salinity stress can cause the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which disrupt the metabolic processes in plants. The plant possess enzymatic antioxidant and non-enzymatic antioxidant defence mechanism to prevent the formation of ROS. The objective of this experiment was to investigate the effect of different concentrations of NaCl on the specific activities of antioxidative enzymes in Homalomena sp. cultures.
