Abstract
This article comparatively studied the activity of catalase (CAT, H2O2:H2O2-oxidoreductase, EC 1.11.1.6) and ascorbate peroxidase (APO, ascorbate peroxidase, EC 1.11.1.11) enzymes in the leaves of Amaranthus albus L., Chenopodium album L. and Atriplex tatarica L. species belonging to the families Amaranthaceae and Chenopodiaceae, widespread in some technogenic polluted areas (Ramana Iodine Plant, Sumgait Superphosphate Plant) in the Absheron Peninsula of Azerbaijan. The research was conducted during 2017-2019. A number of methods (Arinushkina, Hodges, Bates, Sedmak and Grossberg, Kumar and Knovles, Nakano and Asada,etc.) have been used to study the soil-climatic, floristic, and botanical-geographical composition of territories. It was found that among the species taken, A. tatarica was more resistant to stress than A. Albus and A. album. The study of CAT and APO activity in the leaves of the species, which are typical representatives of antioxidant enzymes, showed that APO activity is low in varieties (A. tatarica) that are resistant under normal natural conditions and high in other varieties (A. albus, A. album) that have lower natural resistance, which indicates that the level of natural resistance of the species plays an important role in the formation of adaptive responses to stress factors in C4 plants.
