Expression Studies of Superoxide Dismutases in Nodules and Leaves of Transgenic Alfalfa Reveal Abundance of Iron-Containing Isozymes, Posttranslational Regulation, and Compensation of Isozyme Activities

The composition of antioxidant enzymes, especially superoxide dismutase (SOD), was studied in one nontransgenic and three transgenic lines of nodulated alfalfa plants. Transgenic lines overproduced MnSOD in the mitochondria of nodules and leaves (line 1–10), MnSOD in the chloroplasts (line 4–6), and...
