Proceed<strong>in</strong>g of the 4 rd International Symposium“NEW RESEARCH IN BIOTECHNOLOGY” USAMV Bucharest, Romania, 2011PEG on the first day. There was <strong>in</strong>crease of its <strong>in</strong>tensity correspond<strong>in</strong>g to the <strong>in</strong>crease ofPEG concentration. It was most illustrative on the sixth day (lanes 8-10) and on the twentythird day (lanes 11-13). Isoperoxidase profile of soybean <strong>in</strong> vitro cultures treated withdifferent concentrations of PEG for thirty days is presented <strong>in</strong> Fig 3. Exclud<strong>in</strong>g isoform 10,a similar pattern was observed. Isoform 35 was not found <strong>in</strong> the control. Consi<strong>de</strong>r<strong>in</strong>gisoforms 21, 24, 28 and 35, the most <strong>in</strong>tense response to the stress factor was recor<strong>de</strong>d <strong>in</strong>calli cultures (lanes 1-3).The exposure of soybean shoot cultures to osmotic (drought) stress, simulated by PEG,<strong>in</strong>duced new isoperoxidases as a response to the stress factor. Induction of peroxidase havebeen observed also <strong>in</strong> Aegilops (Landjeva et al., 2004), barley (Tamás et al., 2007) andHevea brasiliensis (Dutsa<strong>de</strong>e and Nunta, 2008).Differential response of soybean peroxidase to the stress factor was recor<strong>de</strong>d <strong>de</strong>pend<strong>in</strong>gon PEG concentration and time treatment. Generally, there was gradual <strong>in</strong>crease ofisoperoxidase <strong>in</strong>tensity (activity) which correspon<strong>de</strong>d to the <strong>in</strong>crease of PEG concentration.Similar pattern of gradual <strong>in</strong>crease of isoperoxidases was found <strong>in</strong> Aegilops (Landjeva etal., 2004) too. Analysis of 13 POD genes <strong>in</strong> sweetpotato revealed differential expression ofPODs <strong>in</strong> response to the stress factor (Yun-Hee Kim et al., 2010).Fig 3. Isoperoxidase profile of soybean <strong>in</strong> vitro cultures treated with different concentrations ofPEG for 30 days.Calli: 1 – 4 % PEG; 2 – 6 % PEG; 3 – 8 % PEG; 4 – 0 % PEG (Control);Shoots: 5 – 0 % PEG (Control); 6 – 4 % PEG; 7 – 6 % PEG; 8 – 8 % PEG4. CONCLUSIONIt could be conclu<strong>de</strong>d that <strong>in</strong>duction, <strong>in</strong>crease of activity and differential expression <strong>in</strong>response to the stress factor are closely l<strong>in</strong>ked to an improved antioxidant <strong>de</strong>fense capabilitymediated by peroxidase <strong>in</strong> soybean cv Rosa. This variety was chosen <strong>in</strong> these experiments forits higher yield un<strong>de</strong>r non-irrigated field conditions (Todorova and Goranova, 2010) and isconsi<strong>de</strong>red with higher drought tolerance.12
