Effect of Foliar Application with Methyl Jasmonate on Physiological Behavior of Mentha piperita

Authors: not saved
Abstract:

A valuable composition of Mentha piperita L. essential oil is menthol that is widely used fordifferent industries. The plants were treated with different concentrations of Methyl Jasmonate (MeJA) and after 24 h were evaluated for total soluble proteins, chlorophylls (a, b, and total), malondialdehyde, carbohydrates and antioxidant enzymes (Superoxide dismutase and Guaiacol peroxidase). Variance analysis indicated significant variation in all measured traits except for chlorophyll b that is caused by different concentration of MeJA. According to these results, MeJA could active antioxidant enzyme defense system. It can be concluded that stimulation of plant defense systems using elicitors could be a valuable and alternative strategy to protect Mentha piperita from stress.

Influence of Methyl Jasmonate on Menthol Production and Gene Expression in Peppermint (Mentha x piperita L.)

Peppermint has considerable commercial value and widely cultivated for essential oil production, especially menthol. The aim of this study was to determine the quantitative expression of pulegone reductase (pr), menthofuran synthase (mfs) and limonene synthase (ls) genes in menthol biosynthesis pathway in Mentha x piperita , using semiquantitative RT-PCR analysis and evaluating menthol producti...

Effect of Methyl Jasmonate Foliar Application on Some Qualitative Attributes and Phytochemical Contents of ‘Rabab’ Pomegranate Fruit

In order to evaluate the effects of methyl jasmonate on quality of ‘Rabab’ pomegranate, an experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design with 3 replications. Trees were sprayed with different concentrations of methyl jasmonate (0, 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 mM) at four different stages of fruit development including full bloom, 30, 60, and 90 days after full bloom.Control trees were sprayed...

Mitigation of Salt Stress Toxicity in Narcissus tazetta L. by Foliar Application of Methyl Jasmonate

In the present study, the effect of foliar application of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) (0, 50, 100, and 200 µM) and salt stress (2 (non-stress), 4 and 8 dS m-1) on the improvement of salinity stress tolerance in narcissus was studied in the Research Greenhouse, Islamic Azad University of Isfahan (Khorasgan) during 2019-2020. In this research, a pot experiment was conducted, as factorial based on ran...
