The effects of NiSO₄, calcium, and L-histidine (His) on the components of ascorbate-glutathione cycle, antioxidant enzymes and lipid peroxidation in a tomato cultivar Early Urbana Y was investigated. The activities of enzymes including catalase (CAT), guaiacol peroxidase (GPX), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GR), lipoxygenase (LOX), and phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) were measured. In addition, the content of H₂O₂, ascorbate (ASC), dehydroascorbate (DHA), reduced glutathione (GSH), chlorophyll (Chl) a+b, carotenoids, proteins, malondialdehyde (MDA), membrane aldehydes, and electrolyte leakage (EL) were determined. Results suggest that the excess of Ni increased the content of H₂O₂, MDA, membrane aldehydes and proteins in roots as well as GPX, LOX, APX activities, and EL in leaves, whereas Ca and His ameliorated these effects. Moreover, decreasing leaf GSH and DHA content and GR activity were observed under the Ni stress, but these parameters were raised by Ca plus His treatment. However, no improvement in leaf protein, ASC, root GSH content, and activities of PAL and CAT were observed by using Ca or His under Ni stress.
