A hydroponics experiment was conducted to test the effects of sodium nitroprusside (SNP, a donor of NO) supplied with different concentrations on copper (Cu) toxicity in ryegrass seedlings (Lolium perenne L.). Excess Cu (200 mu M) reduced chlorophyll content, resulting a decrease in photosynthesis. Cu stress induced the production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and superoxide anion (O-2(center dot-)), leading to malondialdehyde (MDA) accumulation. Furthermore, activities of antioxidant enzymes in Cu-treated seedlings such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT) were decreased. In addition, Cu stress inhibited the uptake of K, Mg, Fe, and Zn and increased Ca content in roots. Moreover, in leaves of Cu-stressed seedlings, K, Fe, and Zn contents were decreased and the contents of Ca and Mg were not affected significantly. In Cu-treated seedlings, Cu concentration in roots was higher than in leaves. Addition of 50, 100, 200 mu M SNP in Cu-mediated solutions increased chlorophyll content and photosynthesis, improved antioxidant enzyme activities, reduced Cu-induced oxidative damages, kept intracellular ion equilibrium under Cu stress, increased Cu concentration in roots and inhibited Cu accumulation in leaves. In particular, addition of 100 mu M SNP had the best effect on promoting growth of ryegrass seedlings under Cu stress. However, the application of 400 mu M SNP had no obvious alleviating effect on Cu toxicity in ryegrass seedlings.
