The effects of trehalose pretreatment on thylakoid membranes of winter wheat were investigated under heat stress. Under normal growth conditions, the winter wheat synthesized 502 μg g-1(f.m.) trehalose, which increased to 1250 μg g-1(f.m.) under heat stress and to 1658 μg g-1(f.m.) in trehalose-pretreated seedlings. Under heat stress, proteins in the thylakoid membranes and the photosynthetic capacity were protected by trehalose pretreatment. Moreover, the electrolyte leakage, contents of malondialdehyde, superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide, and lipoxygenase activity in trehalose-pretreated seedlings were lower than in the non-pretreated plants.

Keywords: heat stress; lipoxygenase; malondialdehyde; reactive oxygen species; Triticum aestivum
Subjects: chloroplast; electrolyte leakage; fatty acids; hydrogen peroxide; lipids; lipoxygenase; malondialdehyde; proteins; reactive oxygen species (ROS); superoxide; temperature high; transmission electrom microscopy (TEM); trehalose; Triticum aestivum; wheat
