Heat-acclimation or salicylic acid
(SA) treatments were previously shown to induce thermotolerance in
mustard (Sinapis alba L.) seedlings from 1.5 to 4 h
after treatment. In the present study we investigated changes in
endogenous SA and antioxidants in relation to induced thermotolerance.
Thirty minutes into a 1-h heat-acclimation treatment glucosylated SA
had increased 5.5-fold and then declined during the next 6 h.
Increases in free SA were smaller (2-fold) but significant. Changes in
antioxidants showed the following similarities after either
heat-acclimation or SA treatment. The reduced-to-oxidized ascorbate
ratio was 5-fold lower than the controls 1 h after treatment but
recovered by 2 h. The glutathione pool became slightly more
oxidized from 2 h after treatment. Glutathione reductase activity
was more than 50% higher during the first 2 h. Activities of
dehydroascorbate reductase and monodehydroascorbate reductase decreased
by at least 25% during the first 2 h but were 20% to 60% higher
than the control levels after 3 to 6 h. One hour after heat
acclimation ascorbate peroxidase activity was increased by 30%. Young
leaves appeared to be better protected by antioxidant enzymes following
heat acclimation than the cotyledons or stem. Changes in endogenous SA
and antioxidants may be involved in heat acclimation.
