Plant cells have a variety of defense mechanisms to alleviate the deleterious effects of oxidative stress. The present work elucidated a schematic diagram of the proposed pathway of peanut hairy root tissue treated with different elicitors; paraquat (PQ), methyl jasmonate (MeJA), and cyclodextrin (CD). The different elicitation approaches could provoke intrinsic stress in plant cells and might activate a distinct response pathway, allowing plants to overcome the deleterious effects of oxidative stress. Among all strategies, hairy root culture pretreated with PQ followed by application of MeJA plus CD showed an extensive induction of antioxidant defense mechanisms. The expression of the antioxidant enzyme genes and stilbene-synthesized enzyme genes were up regulated in accordance with the dramatic increase in the production of stilbene compounds. The non-enzymatic antioxidant substances exhibited a highly enhanced capability. The pathogenesis-related protein (PR) genes were also highly up-regulated. In summary, we demonstrated that the interplay among MeJA plus CD and PQ may activate a complex signaling network to regulate plant defense mechanisms involving the up-regulation of detoxifying enzymes, induction of free-radical scavengers and overexpression of genes associated with plant defense pathways.
