The correlation of in vitro antioxidant potentials with the various biochemical responses of salinized basil leaves

One of the environmental sustainability issues is salinity. Basil seedlings (Ocimum basilicum L.) were treated using NaCl solutions three different concentrations prepared irrigation (40, 80, and 130 mM), various biochemical analyses performed on basil leaves. The number leaves, leaf area, moisture, weights, MDA content decreased significantly as salinity levels increased from 40 to mM; however, dry matter increased. As well, current study investigated a significant increase in osmolytes (including total soluble sugars proline) Na+ contents. highest activities CAT SOD tissues recorded after treatment with mM NaCl, whereas polyphenol flavonoid contents negatively influenced. On other hand, ABTS scavenging activity was observed mM-treated leaves at concentration 1000 µg/mL; DPPH potential 80 3000 µg/mL. Furthermore, correlation between vitro antioxidant potentials responses described. A strong identified capacities salinized O. activity, flavonoids, presence phenolic acids, particularly p-hydroxybenzoic o-coumaric acids concentrations. result, this first explain how may resist by producing specific compounds; therefore, our research recommends use issue obtain better plant material for dietary supplements or herbal drugs.
