effects of salicylic acid on morphological and physiological characteristics of cucumber seedling (cucumis sativus cv. super dominus) under drought stress

Authors
abstract

application of salicylic acid (sa) as a phytohormone has been increased due to resistance to stresses such as drought. the main goal of this experiment was to evaluate the effects of sa on morphological and physiological characteristics of cucumber seedlings under drought stress. for this purpose a factorial trial based on completely randomized design was conducted with 5 levels of sa (0 (control), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 mm) and 2 levels of drought stress, daily irrigation (control) and stopping irrigation for 6 days with 3 replications. sa was used as seed soaking for 24 hr. drought stress was also applied in 3-4 leave stage. the results showed that sa increased chlorophyll index and leaf area by 27 and 139 percent in comparison to control, respectively. in contrast, stomatal conductance and electrolyte leakage decreased with sa application. use of sa increased stem diameter, height, leaf number, shoot and root dry weight and biomass by 31, 65, 60, 100, 180 and 96 percent in comparison to control, respectively. leaf number, leaf area and shoot dry weight decreased under drought stress, while increased with sa application. the interactions between sa concentrations and drought stress for the measured traits such as chlorophyll index, stomatal conductance, stem diameter, height, root dry weight and biomass, was not statistically significant.

Influence of salicylic acid pre-treatment on emergence and early seedling growth of cucumber (Cucumis sativus)under salt stress

Salicylic acid (SA) is a common, plant-produced signal molecule that is responsible for inducing tolerance to a number of biotic and abiotic stresses. An experiment was therefore conducted to test whether the application of SA at various concentrations (0, 0.25, 0.50 or 1.0 mM) through a seed-soaking method would protect cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) seedlings subjected to salt stress. Aft...

Positive effects of salicylic acid on some biochemical and physiological parameters of Aloysia citrodora under drought stress

Lippia citriodora H.B.K. is a valuable medicinal plant of Verbenaceae family. This study was calculated to evaluate potential role of salicylic acid (SA) in diminish the harmful effects of drought stress on L. citriodora plants. SA (0.5 and 1 mM) was used to L. citriodora plants grown under stressed (5, 10, 15 and 20% PEG) and unstressed conditions. Fresh weight (FW) and relative water content ...
