چکیده

The changes in respiration rate and soluble sugar content of detached rice (Oryza sativa) leaves were followed during methyl jasmonate (MJ)-promoted senescence. Increase in the respiration of detached rice leaves was observed as a consequence of methyl jasmonate (MJ) treatment for 48 h. However, MJ had no effect on photosynthetic rate in rice leaves. Sucrose and glucose contents, but not fructose content, were lower in MJ-treated rice leaves than in control leaves. KCN, an inhibitor of cytochrome c oxidase, was effective in inhibiting MJ-increased respiration rate, in reducing MJ-decreased sucrose and glucose contents, and in retarding MJ-promoted senescence of rice leaves. Exogenous addition of sucrose to MJ-treated rice leaves increased endogenous sucrose and glucose contents, but did not prevent MJ-promoted senescence of rice leaves. The role of respiration and sucrose in regulating MJpromoted senescence of rice leaves is discussed.

Effect of Salinity Stress and Exogenously Applied Methyl Jasmonate on Growth and Physiological Traits of Two Carthamus tinctorius Varieties

Salinity stress is one of the main limiting factors for optimum agricultural productivity of safflower, Carthamus tinctorius L., in arid and semi-arid regions. It could leads to significant changes in plant biochemical, physiological, and growth traits. Salinity induced endogenous rise in jasmonic acid and its methyl esters (MeJA) has been reported. In the present study, effects of salinity str...

Methyl Jasmonate-Induced Changes in Non- and Antioxidant-Enzymatic Defense in Peppermint (Mentha piperita)

Peppermint (Mentha piperita L.), a herbaceous and perennial species whichis produced mainly for the medicine and food. The peppermint plants were initiated from 10 cm-long rhizome cuttings followed by transferring into pots. The 48 h-treated plants with methyl jasmonate (MJ) concentrations (0, 0.1, 0.5 mM) were assessed for their total soluble proteins, malondialdehyde (MDA), chlorophylls a, b ...

Effect of Methyl jasmonate treatment on antioxidant capacity, internal quality and postharvest life of raspberry fruit

Native population of raspberry fruits (Rubus spp) were treated with Methyl Jasmonate (MJ) fumigation and were assayed for the antioxidant capacity, total anthocyanins and postharvest quality after 7 days storage at 4?C. The result of experiment revealed that berries treated with methyl jasmonate (MJ) showed higher antioxidant capacity and total anthocyanins compared to the controled ones (non...

Effect of Methyl Jasmonate and Sucrose on Endogenous Non-structural Carbohydrates in Petals and Leaves of Cut ‘First Red’ Roses (Rosa hybrida L.)

Effects of exogenously applied methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and sucrose on vase life and non-structural carbohydrate concentration in petals and leaves of cut ‘First Red’ roses were investigated. Roses were placed in sealed plastic containers and received MeJA vapour treatment (0.1 μL MeJA L-1) for 24 h at 20°C. Flowers were then placed in individual bottles containing 0 or 2% (v/v) sucrose solution...
