Growth Characteristics, Phytochemical Contents, and Antioxidant Capacity of Trachyandra ciliata (L.f) Kunth Grown in Hydroponics under Varying Degrees of Salinity

This study evaluated the effect of salinity and soilless media on vegetative growth, phytochemicals, antioxidant capacity Trachyandra ciliata (wild cabbage) to develop its growth protocol explore potential as a natural source secondary metabolites. Treatments consisted different concentrations sodium chloride (NaCl), control- 0 mM, 100 200 400 while in vitro assays were used for phytochemical screenings. Findings from showed that low (100 mM) significantly increased chlorophyll content, plant height, leaf number, fresh weight, production inflorescence, particularly Peat-Perlite-Vermiculite (PPV) medium. In contrast, control was most productive treatment dry weight except inflorescence. The highest activity observed mM NaCl combination with PPV medium, which also produced mean values polyphenols, best flavonols. Therefore, T. proved be more vegetatively under media. A + recommended maximum antioxidants ciliata.
