Abstract

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for plants, but accumulation of excess Zn causes oxidative stress, even though the element is not redox-active. An oxidative stress signature, consisting of multiple oxidative stress related parameters, is indicative of disturbance of redox homeostasis and signaling, but has not been determined after exposure to excess Zn. To reveal general and Zn-specific effects, changes in oxidative stress related gene expression, enzyme activities and metabolites were determined after 24h exposure of Arabidopsis thaliana plants to a concentration range of 0, 100, 250 or 500μM excess ZnSO
