Trade-Off Between Enzymatic Antioxidant Defense and Accumulation of Organic Metabolite Affects Salt Tolerance of White Clover Associated with Redox, Water, and Metabolic Homeostase... by Min Zhou, Yuting Wu, Yuchen Yang, Yan Yuan, Junnan Lin, Long Lin, Zhou Li

“…Although Trp004 exhibited significantly lower activities of superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, monodehydroasorbate reductase, dehydroascorbate reductase, and glutathione reductase than KL in response to salt stress, significantly higher ascorbic acid (ASA), dehydroascorbic acid (DHA), glutathione (GSH), glutathione disulfide (GSSG), ASA/DHA, and GSH/GSSG were detected in Trp004. These findings indicated a trade-off relationship between antioxidant enzymes and nonenzymatic antioxidants in different white clover genotypes adapting to salt stress. …”
