Abstract Changes in lipid peroxidation activities—superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and antioxidation—have been studied in leaves ofCucumis sativus during early growth until full expansion in situ. The content of malonyldialdehyde (MDA) rapidly decreased and then increased gradually. The changes in SOD, POD, and antioxidation activities were similar to each other and inverse to the changes in MDA contents. In the first phase, decrease in MDA is accompanied by increase in the activities of antioxidative defense systems, and in the second, exponential growth phase, increase in MDA content is accompanied by the decrease in defense systems.
