physiological function | the activity of antioxidant enzymes in the desC-transgenic plants depends on the operation of the introduced desC gene for acyl-lipid DELTA9-desaturase. Its activity results in an increase in the relative content of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the membrane lipids ensuring the liquid state of membranes during chilling. DesC-transgenic plants maintain a higher activity of antioxidant enzymes during 2 h incubation at 2°C. As a result, these plants resist more efficiently the accumulation of reactive oxygen species and reduce the rate of the lipid peroxidation | Thermostichus vulcanus |
