It was studied for the effects of heavy metal stress on the antioxidant activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT) and lipid peroxidation (MDA) in the leaves of five mangrove plants. The results showed the protein concentrations were significantly higher in B. gymnorrhiza (7.55 mg prot /mL: Cu²⁺), K. obovata (11.21 mg prot/mL: Cd²⁺) and R. stylosa (12.51 mg prot/mL: Cd²⁺) (p < 0.05). Comparably, MDA contents were remarkably high in A. marina than other species under the same conditions (p < 0.05). The SOD, POD and CAT were observed to be significantly high in A. marina, A. corniculatum and B. gymnorrhiza under the same heavy metal treatment (p < 0.05). The PCA revealed that POD, SOD and MDA of five mangrove species were the major indices for response to heavy metal. And A. marina was more tolerant to heavy metal stress than others.
