- Abstract
[Objective] The effect of antioxidase activity of sugarcane leaves treated with ethephon and 1-MCP was studied under water stress in sugarcane seedling period to provide references for identifying the influence of ethephon and 1-MCP on drought-resistance of sugarcane seedling. [Method] Antioxidase activity of sugarcane HOC 22 planted in pot was studied by spraying ethephon (200 and 300 mg/L) to sugarcane leaf and enclosed steaming by 1-MCP (1 mg/L) for 16 hours. Finally, the antioxidase activity of POD, SOD and CAT was measured at different stages. [Result] With the increasing of water stress, the antioxidase activity of POD, SOD and CAT of sugarcane treated with 200 mg/L ethephon and 1-MCP increased markedly, and the antioxidase activity of sugarcane ascended first under mild water stress and descended at last under medium or serious water stress. Using 3(X) mg/L ethephon and 1 -MCP is instrumental in improving antioxidase activity of sugarcane under conditions of water stress mildly. But it was unfavorable for improving antioxidase activity of sugarcane to treat with 300 mg/L ethephon and I-MCP under moderate and severe water stress conditions. [Conclusion]The antioxidase activity of POD, SOD and CAT of sugarcane can be improved by using 200 mg/L ethephon and I-MCP, which is beneficial for increasing drought-resistance, however 300 mg/L ethephon and I-MCP undermines the drought-resistance of sugarcane.
