Peroxidase is believed to play an important role in lignin synthesis, IAA oxidation, detoxification of H2~ and is also known to have close relationship with shoot and root initiation, leaf formation, senescence, internode elongation, and pathogenic infection, etc. In this experiment, five treatments, including control, middle or late stage flooding, and middle or late stage drought were conducted on seven sweet potato cultivars. The effects of flooding and drought stresses on leaf protein content, peroxidase zymograms and activity as well as the relationship between zymograms and horticultural traits were investigated every thenty-five days. Zymogram variations in leaf peroxidase were noted among the seven cultivars. At least 15 anodal bands and 3 cathodal bands were observed. Cultivar differences were most pronounced at the zone (a13-a15 bands). Variation in band intensity was also observed at cathodal bands. Drought and flooding treatments had the influence on band intensity, especially in a12~a7 bands. Statistical analysis indicated that treatments and genetic background had significant effects on peroxidase activity and protein content. In general, drought treatment tended to decrease protein contents while increase peroxidase activity. Hooding had similar effects but was not as distinct as drought treatment. When flooding only in the middle stage of growth period, plants had the ability to recover growth. However, the performance of recovery in drought treatment at the same period was much worse than that of flooding. Investigations into horticultural traits revealed drought treatment in the late stage of growth period had significant negative effects on fresh weights of top portions, fibrous roots and storage roots. On the storage root, dry matter content was lowered by both treatment, sugar content was lowered by flooding and starch lowered by drought treatment. Leaf peroxidase zymogram was also closely vela ted to the contents of fresh weights of top portions, fibrous roots, and storage roots, dry matter, protein and starch in storage root. |
