The Effect of Foliar-applied Salicylic Acid on Flowering of African Violet
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sainpaulias are among the most popular flowering plants and there are so many variations in flower shape, size and color. Aqueous solutions of 0 M to 10 M concentrations of salicylic acid (SA) were foliar-applied on two African violet cultivars to evaluate the influence of different rates of SA on growth and flowering of plants. The solutions were applied to leaves of plants 14, 21, 28 and 35 days after transplanting from culture medium to the soil. Salicylic acid at concentration of 10 M increased the number of leaves, the rosette diameter, and the number of flower buds compared to control. However, with applying SA at concentration of 10 M the number of days from planting to anthesis was reduced in comparison with the control.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of SA on UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C stressed plants. Data showed that SA counteracted the UV harmful effects on pepper. Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) seedlings sprayed with salicylic acid (SA) and treated with UV-A (320-390 nm), UV-B (312 nm), and UV-C (254 nm) of 6.1, 5.8, and 5.7 W m-2, respectively. UV significantly increased contents of as...
