Abstract

The effect of Ca2+ on morphophysiological parameters of wheat calli (Triticum aestivum L.) infected by the bunt pathogen Tilletia caries, in particular on the level of active oxygen species, activity of oxalate oxidase, peroxidase, and catalase is investigated. The concentration of O2−, H2O2, and activity of oxidoreductases (oxalate oxidase, peroxidase, and catalase) depended on the content of Ca2+ in the culture medium of calli. The increase of the concentration of Ca2+ ions in the culture medium led to forming of calli with high structure, induction of activity of oxalate oxidase and of some isoperoxidase, and to accumulation of active oxygen species. These changes contributed to inhibition of development of the fungus. So this dependence confirm the role of calcium as the intermediant in biochemical reactions related to the formation of the protective response of plant cells to biotic stress.
