Superoxide Dismutase Analysis in Plant Tissues

Superoxide dismutase (SOD), a metalloenzyme, is classified into three isoenzymes- Cu/Zn-SOD, Mn-SOD, and Fe-SOD based on the presence of metal cofactors at the active site. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is the first line of plant defense, which converts O₂^•− to O₂ and H₂O₂. As one of the most effective components of a plant antioxidant defense system, SOD exists in all oxygen-metabolizing cells, as well as all subcellular compartments (such as chloroplasts, mitochondria, nuclei, peroxisomes, cytoplasm, and apoplasts). The enzyme SOD is directly related to abiotic stresses such as cold, drouth and salinity. These stresses can cause an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and alters the activity of ROS-scavenging enzymes. The effect of abiotic stress on the activity of SOD varies based on the type of plant species, the intensity and duration of stress and plant organs.

STEMart provides comprehensive analysis services to identify and investigate the function of SOD in regulating plant environmental stress responses.
