摘要

The antioxidative defences of plants are key targets for manipulation to improve stress tolerance. Almost all studies have been performed on model species and relatively few have concerned agronomically important crops such as wheat and maize. Maize is a prime subject for such manipulation since the antioxidative defences are differentially partitioned between the bundle sheath and mesophyll cells of the leaves. This contributes to the extreme chilling sensitivity of maize leaves which suffer severe damage and lack of vigour when grown below 18deg C. While maize shows some degree of acclimation to growth temperatures between 14 deg C and 18 deg C, this does not confer hardening to subsequent growth at lower temperatures. At present antioxidative enzymes such as superoxide dismutase and ascorbate peroxidase are being used for transformation of maize and other species of agronomic importance. Growing interest, however, concerns utilisation of the enzymes of the pathways of biosynthesis for ascorbate and glutathione for plant improvement. The target is to achieve ten times the antioxidant content of untransformed controls in transformed plants. Such increases will considerably increase the nutrient value of edible plant parts and have the potential to improve the vigour of the crop and the shelf-life of plant products.
