A possible role for C4 photosynthetic enzymes in tolerance of Zea mays to NaCl.

Abstract:

:Treatment of 14-day-old maize cultivars (Hybrid351 and Giza2) with 250 mM NaCl significantly reduced shoot fresh and dry weights and protein content during the subsequent 12 days. The magnitude of reduction was more pronounced in Giza than Hybrid. Both cultivars contained converging levels of protein for the enzymes phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), pyruvate phosphate dikinase (PPDK) and ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) under normal conditions; however, NaCl led to increase these levels in Hybrid and decrease them in Giza. Moreover, NaCl significantly inhibited the activities of PEPC, MDH and PPDK in both cultivars during the first 2 days, thereafter the inhibition nullified only in Hybrid; nonetheless, Rubisco was the least affected enzyme in both cultivars. In addition, NaCl slightly increased V (max) of PEPC, MDH and PPDK in Hybrid with no change in K (m); nevertheless V (max) dropped in Giza with an increase in K (m) of only PEPC and MDH. Also K (cat), K (cat)/K (m) and V (max)/K (m) of all enzymes were lower in treated Giza than in treated Hybrid. The increased V (max) of all enzymes in only Hybrid by NaCl confirms that they were synthesised more in Hybrid than in Giza. However, the decreased V (max) in Giza concomitant with the increased K (m) points to an interference of salinity with synthesis of enzymes and their structural integrity. This would lead to a noncompetitive inhibition for the enzymes. These findings declare that maize tolerance to NaCl was larger in Hybrid compared to Giza due to a role for C4 enzymes.
