Abstract
This study investigates the antioxidant enzymatic activity of different
Digera muricata biotypes, a resilient plant species adapted to arid
environments. The biochemical determination focused on malondialdehyde
(MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), and
ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activities under stress conditions. The finding
exhibited Biotype 2 had highest POD (1.737 ± 0.003) and APX (4.167 ± 0.024)
activities, with higher mean SOD and CAT activity, indicating higher oxidative
tolerance whereas, B5 lowest in APX (1.247 ± 0.030) and CAT (0.250 ± 0.006)
activities, and showed a lower resistance to reactive oxygen species (ROS).
Analysis of variance (ANOVA) confirmed significant differences (p<0.01)
across tested biotypes and parameters. These findings suggested the critical
role of antioxidant enzymes in mitigating oxidative damage and contributing to
its ability to succeed under environmental stress conditions.
