摘 要:Aims Plants in their natural habitats frequently cope with a multitude of abiotic stresses,such as high light intensity,extreme temperatures and water deficit,which often co-occur during periods of drought,especially in semi-arid and arid *** of plants to stressful environmental conditions usually induce overproduction of reactive oxygen species(ROS)that,as highly toxic derivatives of O_(2),can assault all cell macromolecules,leading to the disruption of cellular homeostasis and,consequently,the uncoupling of major metabolic processes,the photosynthesis and *** order to minimize ROS-mediated cellular damage,plants have evolved highly efficient antioxidative defense systems that include both enzymatic and non-enzymatic *** abiotic stress can also operate as a strong evolutionary force that shapes adaptations in natural plant populations,the aim of this study was to examine the seasonal variation patterns of two distinct antioxidative systems,ROS-scavenging enzymes and anthocyanin pigments,in the leaf tissue of a steppe plant,Iris pumila,as expressed under contrasting light conditions that the species regularly experiences in the *** We selected two natural populations of *** inhabiting the alternative radiation environments in the Deliblato Sands,a sunexposed dune site and a woodland *** specific activity of three antioxidative enzymes,superoxide dismutase(SOD),catalase(CAT)and peroxidase(POD)and the content of total anthocyanins were examined in leaves of *** plants collected from each of the 31 Iris clones(17 in the exposed population and 14 in the shaded population)once during each of the three seasons,spring,summer and autumn in ***,a fully expanded leaf was cut from each clonal plant between 15:00 and 16:00 h,immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at-70℃until *** Findings Generally,all three antioxidative enzymes were up-regulated in summer-harvested
