Abstract

Reactive Oxygen species (ROS) cause free radical peroxidation of macromolecules (FRPO). The formation of malonic dialdehyde (MDA) is the marker of FRPO, and the consequences of changes in prooxidant-antioxidant system (PAS) are evidenced by changes in the activity of the enzyme cytochrome oxidase. The study of the role of ROS in anti-infective protection of animals, oxidative explosion processes, mechanisms of aging and apoptosis has opened up the prospects for the search for analogues in the plant world. Quantitative determination of PO and FRPO products  was carried out on grains of Zea mays L. taken from plants of the following cultivars: "DK Burshtyn" (high disease-resistant cultivar), "DN Demeter" (medium disease-resistant cultivar) and "DK Veles" (low resistance). Evaluation of the level and sources of ROS generation was performed by spectrophotometric HBT test. The level of FRPO was assessed by the concentration of background and stimulated malonic dialdehyde (MDA). To assess the effects of PAS changes, the cytochrome oxidase activity was determined. As a result of the conducted researches, it was established that the tissues of grains of highly resistant variety Zea mays L. "DK Burshtyn" have the lowest background level and the highest level of stimulated by yeast and NaF generation of •O2-, which indicates the presence of a powerful activating ability, and especially calcium and NADPH oxidase signalling systems. It was found that with increasing disease resistance of Zea mays L. there is a decrease in the background and stimulated levels of MDA, which indicates a low degree of FRPO membrane lipids and may be due to increased AO of PAS. It is proved that during the transition from low-resistant to disease "DK Veles" cultivar to medium-resistant "DN Demeter" and high-resistant "DK Burshtyn" cultivar, the cytochrome oxidase activity increases, which may be explained by a decrease in the intensity of peroxide degradation of mitochondrial membranes as a result of the increased AOD. It is concluded that the prooxidant link of PAS is involved in maintaining the resistance of plant cultivars to disease, but requires a powerful compensatory antioxidant mechanism to protect against peroxide destruction of macromolecules.
