The present study aimed at investigating the effects of foliar applied nitric oxide (as SNP [sodium nitroprusside]) on sulfur (glutathione reductase, guaiacol peroxidase, and glutathione S-transferase) and nitrate assimilation (nitrite and nitrate reductase) pathway enzymes in maize (Zea mays L.) exposed to water deficit conditions. The seedlings of a drought tolerant (NK8711) and sensitive (P1574) maize hybrid were applied with various SNP doses (0, 50, 100, 150, and 200 mu M) under normal and drought stress conditions. Foliar spray of 100 mu M markedly improved water status and chlorophyll contents and alleviated drought-induced oxidative damages through increased antioxidant (catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase) activities in both maize hybrids. Moreover, exogenous SNP supply increased nitrite and nitrate reductase activities and upregulated glutathione reductase, glutathione S-transferase, and guaiacol peroxidase compared to no SNP supply. Interestingly, the negative effects of excess NO generation at high SNP doses (150, 200 mu M) were more pronounced in P1574 than NK8711 leading to lower biomass accumulation in drought-sensitive hybrid.
