[Effects of lead stress on anti-oxidative enzyme activities and isoenzymes in cucumber seedlings].

With hydroponics and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), this paper studied the effects of lead stress on the activities of peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), and their isoenzymic band numbers in cucumber seedlings. The results showed that the isoenzymic bands and expression quantity of POD decreased gradually with increasing lead concentration. The SOD activity increased with increasing lead concentration within the range of 0-500 mg Pb x L(-1), reached the maximum at 7th day, and then decreased rapidly, being lower than the control of the same period.
