Abstract:

Methyl jasmonate and Epi-brassinolide as plant growth regulators have significant biological effects on plant growth, including increased tolerance to salt stress in plants. In this study, the effects of salinity stress and its interaction with methyl jasmonate and Epi-brassinolide on chlorophyll concentration, rate of photosynthesis, transpiration, stomatal conductance and resistance and chlorophyll fluorescence in medical plant of black mustard (Brassica nigra L.) in hydroponic conditions, were evaluated based on a factorial design in completely randomized design with four replications. So that four weeks after germination plants were treated with various concentrations of sodium chloride (80, 40, 0 mM), methyl jasmonate (0 and 75 mM) and Epi-brassinolide (0, 5.1, 3 mM). The plants treated with salinity, with increasing concentration of sodium chloride, their chlorophyll concentrations, Hill reaction rate, transpiration and stomatal conductance decreased but the stomatal resistance, the initial fluorescence (F0) and maximum fluorescence (Fm) increased. At the same amounts of NaCl, with increasing concentrations of methyl jasmonate and Epi-brassinolide all tested traits were improved, such that by spraying 75 mM of methyl jasmonate, stomatal conductance (90.23 m2s mol-1) reached its highest level. With increasing levels of Epi-brassinolide in the same condition, the salinity of maximum fluorescence (Fm) reached to (559.21). The results of this experiment showed that the application of methyl jasmonate and Epi-brassinolide can improve the efficiency of photosynthesis and thereby improves the growth of black mustard (Brassica nigra L.) under salinity stress.

Effect of Methyl Jasmonate on some Biochemical and Physiological Parameters of Coriandrum sativum L. under Salinity Stress

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of methyl jasmonate (MJ) on salinity stress alleviation of coriander plantlet. The experiment was set up as factorial experiment in completely randomized design with two factors including NaCl concentration (0, 3 and 6 ds/m) and MJ at three levels (0, 0.25 or 0.5 mM). The results showed that salt stress decreased fresh and dry weight of aerial, co...

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...
