The localization of antioxidant enzymes between the mesophyll and bundle sheath cells were determined in sorghum (Sorghum vulgare L.) leaves. The activity of antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), guaiacol peroxidase (POD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and glutathione reductase (GR) were assayed in whole leaf, mesophyll and bundle sheath fractions of sorghum leaves subjected to water-limited conditions. Drought was imposed by withholding water and the plants were maintained at different water potentials ranging from 0.5-2.0 MPa. The purity of the isolates was tested using the marker enzymes like RuBPcase and PEPcase. GR was mostly localized in mesophyll fraction, while SOD, APX and peroxidase were located in bundle sheath cells. Catalase was found to be equally distributed between the two cell types. Under water stress conditions, most of the SOD activity was found in the bundle sheath tissues. Little or no activity of the enzymes CAT, APX or POD was found in the mesophyll extracts when exposed to water stress. GR activity increased when exposed to low water regimes. From this study, it is clear that antioxidants are differentially distributed between the mesophyll and bundle sheath cells in sorghum leaves. Under water stress conditions, the mesophyll cells showed less damage from oxidative stress when compared to the bundle sheath cells. This is critical for determining the sensitivity of sorghum to extreme climatic conditions.
