Abstract

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities were investigated from the portions of shoots and roots in accordance with developmental stage and in response to environmental stress and antioxidants using Rhodiola-seedlings. The rates of SOD activities were revealed highly at the portion of roots and its tip of seedlings in the latter stages rather than the initial stages. SOD activities of seedlings in the initial stages treated with sodium chloride and cadmium as environmental stressors showed the decrease by 15 and 30% with respect to the control, respectively. However, in spite of stressor-treatments, the activities in the roots were increased according to the growth period showing a maximum rate of up to 45%. Also, SOD activities of the seedling treated with ascorbic acid as a antioxidant were increased by 46% of control value, but this was similar to the rate revealed in the presence of stressors. These results suggest that SOD activities in Rhodiola-seedlings may be related with the important defence-system against injurious environments.

참돌꽃 유식물에서 줄기와 뿌리의 부위별로 나타나는 superoxide dismutase(SOD)의 활성과 환경 스트레스 또는 항산화분자 처리에 따른 SOD활성도를 조사하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. SOD의 활성은 줄기보다는 뿌리에서 높았고 각 기부보다는 선단부에 이를수록 높았으며 이러한 현상은 유식물 생육의 초기보다 후기에 더 상승된 결과를 나타내고 있다. 또한 환경 스트레스에 대한 SOD의 활성도는 유식을 초기생육 상태에서는 NaCl또는 cadmium(Cd) 등 유해물질 처리 후 10 및 30% 정도 저해를 받고 있으나 생육 후기에 이를수록 처리된 유해인자에 의한 산화적 스트레스에 대하여 유식물은 자체의 SOD 활성 수준이 상향되는 방어능력을 보였으며 이러한 현상은 뿌리에서 더욱 현저하였다. SOD 활성도를 높이기 위해 항산화물질로 ascorbic acid를 처리한 유식물은 생육 후 최고 46%까지 높아짐을 보였으나 동시기의 스트레스 물질로 첨가한 cadmium 처리구에서 나타난 SOD 활성도에 비하여 유의할만한 상승효과의 차이를 보이지는 않았다. 이러한 결과는 참돌꽃 유식물 특히 뿌리부위는 항산화 기질의 처리 없이도 유해한 환경 인자에 노출되면 자체의 방어 수단으로 SOD 생성이 활발히 진행되고 있음을 시사하였다.
