Nitric oxide (NO) is an active molecule involved in the mediation of various biotic and abiotic stresses inducing physiological responses in the plants In the present study, the effect of sodium nitroprusside (SNP) presoaking, as a donor of NO, on the a'ltioxidant system of seven inbreds and seven hybrids of maize under drought stress was examined compared with the control. The activities of some antioxidant enzymes [Glutathione reductase (GR, EC1.6.4.2), Superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC1.1S.1.1), Glutathione peroxidase (GPx, EC 1.11.1.9) and Catalase (CAT, EC 1.11.1.6], were assayed.
