Mechanisms of regulation of state of plants antioxidative system (AOS) with participation of signal mediators (hydrogen peroxide, calcium ions, nitric oxide, hydrogen sulphide) are considered. It is noted that influence of reactive oxygen species (ROS) on AOS can be both the result of oxidative modification of proteins, participating in the transduction of cellular signals, and the consequence of their damage of individual components of AOS, that finally leads to the formation of ROS signal and to the change in the expression of genes involved in the antioxidative defense. Nitric oxide, depending on the nature of oxidative modification, can cause directly both increase, and decrease of activity of antioxidant enzymes. On the other hand, under the influence of NO the components of signalling network, participating in the regulation of gene expression of antioxidant enzymes, are activated. Direct modification of functional groups of proteins (sulphur-containing, metal-containing) can be also the basis of influence of hydrogen sulphide on the components of AOS. At the same time the influence of H2S on activity of antioxidant enzymes depends on other components of signalling network. Key signal mediators (ROS, nitric oxide, calcium ions) participate in the processes of induction of AOS by phytohormones (jasmonic and salicylic acids, brassinosteroids).

Keywords: antioxidative system, signal mediators, reactive oxygen species, nitric oxide, calcium, hydrogen sulphide, stress phytohormones
