Abstract:

This paper studies the effects of high temperature stress (HT) on the active oxygen metabolism, anthocyanin contents and its synthase of the eggplant seedlings. The results showed that HT could increase the Malonaldehyde (MDA) contents, superoxide radical production rate (O2???�) and Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) contents, the activities of Superoxide radical (SOD), Peroxidase (POD), Catalase (CAT) and Ascorbate Peroxidase (APX), contents of proline and soluble protein. And HT could decrease the anthocyanin contents, CHS, DFR, ANS and 3GT activities, while increase the PAL activity. The above results illustrated that HT could increase the reactive oxygen species, raise the antioxidative enzyme activities and osmotic adjustment substance, and decrease anthocyanin contents and its synthase to alleviate the damage of high temperature stress to the eggplant peels.
