The following chemicals with respective concentrations were used as: reduced ascorbic acid (AA; Sigma-Aldrich, Missouri, United States) at 20 mM (Singh et al., 2020b (link)), ascorbate oxidase (AO; Sigma-Aldrich, Missouri, United States) at 20 U/ml (Singh et al., 2020b (link)), dehydroascorbic acid (DHA, Sigma-Aldrich, Missouri, United States) at 20 mM (Singh et al., 2020b (link)), methyl jasmonate (MeJA, Sigma-Aldrich) at 100 μM (Nahar et al., 2011 (link)), and AOPP, an inhibitor of PAL activity, at 100 μM (Ji et al., 2015 (link); Khanam et al., 2018 (link)). These concentrations have been optimized in the previous publications with chemical concentrations tested for bio-efficacy and lack of phytotoxicity. AOPP was dissolved in 1 ml of EtOH before diluting further in water. All other chemicals were dissolved in water. To allow efficient uptake, all solutions were supplemented with 0.02% (v/v) of Tween20 (Nahar et al., 2011 (link)) and were then administered via foliar spraying using Fantasea spray bottles (Jojoli, Netherlands). This allows spraying a fine mist without clogging. In each experiment, 14-day-old plants were sprayed with 6.25 ml of solution until runoff. Foliar spraying was done 24 h prior to nematode or mock inoculation. Plants in the control group were mock sprayed with distilled water containing 0.02% (v/v) of Tween20.

Piperonylic Acid and Dehydroascorbic Acid Treatment on Rice Plants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Piperonylic acid (PA; Sigma-Aldrich) was prepared as a 100 mM stock solution in DMSO, and diluted with distilled water containing 0.1 vol% Tween 20 surfactant to a final concentration of 300 µM. Dehydroascorbic acid (DHA; Sigma-Aldrich) was prepared by dissolving frozen DHA in distilled water with 0.1 vol% Tween 20 to a concentration of 20 mM. Mock-treated plants were sprayed with distilled water containing the same concentration of Tween 20 and DMSO.
Rice plants were sprayed with an atomizer until run-off (approximately 2 ml per seedling).

Characterization of Recombinant GSTO2 Enzyme

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
rGSTO2 activities were determined by spectrophotometry using a panel of substrates [21 ]. The GST activity of 1-chloro-2, 4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB, Sigma-Aldrich) on rGSTO2 protein was measured at 340 nm absorbance. The reaction system was composed of 0.6 mM CDNB, 6 mM glutathione (GSH, Sigma-Aldrich) and 10 μg rGSTO2 protein, and the reaction was carried out in 100 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). Furthermore, the activity of dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR) was assayed in potassium phosphate buffer (50 mM, pH 7.4) containing 1 mM GSH, 0.25 mM dehydroascorbic acid (DHA, Sigma-Aldrich) and 10 μg rGSTO2 protein [39 (link)]. Thioltransferase activity was analyzed in potassium phosphate buffer (50 mM, pH 7.4) containing 0.2 mM NADPH, 0.5 mM GSH, 2 mM hydroxyethyl disulfide (HED) and 10 μg rGSTO2 protein [3 (link)]. The maximum reaction rate (Vmax) and Michaelis constant (Km) at the same temperature and pH were calculated according to the Michaelis–Menten equation [36 (link)].

Quantification of Ascorbic and Dehydroascorbic Acids

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Reagents Crystalline ascorbic acid (AA) (99%), dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) 99%, DL-dithiothreitol 99%, and ethyl acetate 99.8% were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USE). Malic acid, metaphosphoric acid (40-50%), tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, and di-hydrated monobasic sodium phosphate were obtained from VWR Prolabo chemicals (Luther Worth, England). Sodium hydroxide (97%), di-hydrated dibasic sodium phosphate and hydrochloric acid 37% came from Carlo Erba (Val de Reuil, France). Water used to prepare the solutions and dilutions was purified using an ELIX system (Millipore, Bedford, MA).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
