Induction of glutathione (GSH), ascorbate (ASC) as well as their associated enzymes have been investigated in co-stressed (50 μM CdCl2 pre-treatment followed by Fusarium infection) wheat
seedlings. An enhanced GSH content, GSH/GSSG ratio and ASC content was observed in co-stressed tissues as compared to Fusarium infected tissues. Further, co-stressed tissues showed an increased activity of the antioxidant enzymes such as ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and glutathione reductase (GR) involved in glutathione-ascorbate cycle as well as glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) as glutathione associ... view more»
