Spraying mustard
(Sinapis alba L.) seedlings with salicylic acid (SA)
solutions between 10 and 500 µm significantly improved their tolerance to a subsequent heat shock at 55°C for 1.5 h. The effects of SA were concentration dependent, with higher
concentrations failing to induce thermotolerance. The time course of
thermotolerance induced by 100 µm SA was similar to that
obtained with seedlings acclimated at 45°C for 1 h. We examined
the hypothesis that induced thermotolerance involved
H2O2. Heat shock at 55°C caused a significant increase in endogenous H2O2 and reduced
catalase activity. A peak in H2O2 content was
observed within 5 min of either SA treatment or transfer to the 45°C
acclimation temperature. Between 2 and 3 h after SA treatment or
heat acclimation, both H2O2 and catalase activity significantly decreased below control levels. The lowered H2O2 content and catalase activity occurred in
the period of maximum thermoprotection. It is suggested that
thermoprotection obtained either by spraying SA or by heat acclimation
may be achieved by a common signal transduction pathway involving an
early increase in H2O2.
