Applications of UV-B lighting to increase phenolic accumulation of Alo vera L. plants
نویسنده
چکیده مقاله:
Since supplemental UV-B radiation can provide a simple and economical alternative to increase phenolic compounds in plants, we evaluated the dynamic biological responses of Alo vera L. plants to different UV-B doses (10 and 30 kJ m−2 day−1). The experiment was performed on the basis of Completely Randomize Design with 4 independent replications. Under high light conditions (600 µmol m−2 s−1), UV-B radiation at 30 kJ m−2 day−1 caused significant damaging effects in the Alo plants in terms of leaf biomass. This reduction of leaf biomass coupled with lower values of photosynthetic performance index (PIabs) as well as higher levels of malondialdehyde (MDA). However, when plants were grown at 10 kJ, UV-B-induced increase of proline and soluble sugar content was detected in Alo leaves. In addition, plants treated with 10 kJ m−2 day−1 UVB dose manifested a significant phenol content enhancement compared to control plants. Most importantly, a significant correlation was obtained between accumulation of leaf phenolic compound and their antioxidant potential, when UV-B radiation was applied at 10 kJ. Our data suggest that an improved accumulation of phenolic compounds can be achieved when UV-B radiation is applied at 10 kJ within 21 days. This can be used to apply UV-B radiations to improve the nutritional quality of Alo leaves by increasing accumulation of phenolic compounds, without affecting the efficiency of photosynthetic apparatus.

High light (HL) can limit plant photosynthetic activity, growth and productivity. The HL effect was more pronounced in plants grown at low temperature. In order to determine the effects of chilling stress (4 0C) and light intensities (450 and 850 µmol m-2 s-1) on antioxidant defense system and phenolic metabolism of Aloe vera L., an experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block desi...

Tomato plants, Lycopersicon esculentum L. cv. Tmknvf(2), and watermelon plants, Citrullus lanatus [Thomb.] Mansf. cv. Dulce maravilla, were grown for 30 days at different temperatures (15, 25 and 35 degrees C). We analysed soluble phenolics, enzymatic activities (phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase), and dry weight. The impact of the three temperatures was different i...
