Botanica}, howpublished={online}, year={2011}, publisher={Biological Commission of the Polish Academy of Sciences – Cracow Branch}, abstract={We examined whether allelochemical stress leads to increased lipoxygenase activity in roots of sweet maize (Zea mays L. ssp. saccharata), pea (Pisum sativum L.) and radish (Raphanus sativum L. var. radicula). The lipoxygenase activity of soluble and membrane-bound fractions was assessed in roots after exposure to ferulic and p-coumaric acids. Lipid peroxidation and membrane injury were determined as indicators of stress. Increased lipoxygenase activity of both studied fractions was followed by lipid peroxidation and plasma membrane injury. The results suggest the key role of lipoxygenase in plasma membrane injury during allelochemical stress caused by administration of hydroxycinnamic acids.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Response of Maize, Pea and Radish Roots to Allelochemical Stress}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/81718/PDF/abc53_1_05.pdf}, doi={10.2478/v10182-011-0005-4}, keywords={Allelopathic stress, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, lipid peroxidation, lipoxygenase, pea, plasma membrane injury, radish, roots, sweet maize}, }
