Biochemical and Antioxidant Responses of Borage Seedlings in Saline Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Background: Although borage ( Borago officinalis L.) is a valuable medicinal plant, no information is available on the responses of this plant to salinity. For this reason, it is necessary to determine responses of this plant to salinity . Objective: Since germination and early growth stage is one of the most critical phases of plant life under salinity condition this experiment was conducted to determine some responses of borage to salinity at the seedling stage. Methods: This experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design with three replications and four salinity treatments, including distilled water (EC=0.0dS m-1) and three saline water conditions with EC of 5.0, 10.0 and 15.0 dSm-1. Results: With increasing EC , the content of free proline, soluble carbohydrates and proteins were increased. Moreover, the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) enzymes were significantly increased. Although seedlings dry weight and emergence percentage were declined with increasing EC, the seedlings had markedly growth/survival under salinity conditions. Conclusion: The survival and little reduction in emergence under salinity conditions (12.5%) indicated that borage was a salt tolerant species at the early growth stage. This tolerant is certainly due to the enhancement of antioxidant enzymes activities and compatible solutes content. Keywords: Antioxidant enzymes , Borago officinalis L., Osmotic adjustment, Salinity, Seedling stage.

Guava (Psidium guajava L.), is adapted to an extensive range of soils, however, its development is strongly affected by salinity. Environmental stresses are of the major and influential factors in the amount of secondary metabolites, especially phenolic compounds present in plants. The purpose of this investigation was to study the leaf antioxidant and flavonoid contents (catechin, quercetin an...

Light intensity critically affects plant growth. Camptotheca acuminata is a light-demanding species, but its optimum light intensity is not known. To investigate the response of C. acuminata seedlings to different light intensities, specifically 100% irradiance (PAR, 1500 ± 30 μmol m(-2) s(-1)), 75% irradiance, 50% irradiance, and 25% irradiance, a pot experiment was conducted to analyze growth...

Water shortage is one of the most important environmental stresses in Mediterranean regions. Poor seedling quality may account for the failure of oak regeneration. To determine the best seed origin of Quercus brantii, we investigated on seedlings collected from 20 mother trees in the Zagros Mountain forests 700 to 2200 m altitudes above sea level. Seedlings from different altitudes were irrig...

Silybum marianum is an important medicinal plant with high antioxidant properties. Static magnetic field (SMF) is a kind of abiotic stresses which can affect growth and antioxidant capacity of medicinal plants. In this research, the effects of SMF on total phenolic and flavonoid contents, radical scavenging activity, and anatomical alterations were investigated in S. marianum seedlings. Five-da...
