The Effect of UV Radiation on the Growth and Peroxidase Activity in Soybean (Glycine max)
Keywords:
UV radiation, Soybean, Growth, Peroxidase activity, Glycine maxAbstract
In this study, the soybean variety NRC-7 was cultivated under vinyl filters designed to exclude specific portions of the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum, namely UV-B (<320 nm) and UV-A (380 nm), from natural solar radiation. The results demonstrate that the exclusion of UV-B and UV-A+B significantly enhanced growth parameters, including leaf area, internodal length, and plant height. Notably, the activity of guaiacol peroxidase, an important antioxidant enzyme, was significantly reduced with the removal of both UV-B and UV-A+B. These findings indicate that under normal solar radiation conditions, the guaiacol peroxidase activity is heightened in control plants, potentially as a defense mechanism against oxidative stress induced by the presence of UV-A and UV-B radiation. Specifically, the study recorded an 86% reduction in peroxidase activity with the exclusion of UV-B and a 91% reduction with the exclusion of UV-A+B. This suggests that UV radiation plays a critical role in regulating the antioxidant defense system in soybean plants.
