To study the effect of salicylic acid (SA) on the amount and quality of oil in different regions of sunflower inflorescence, a factorial experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with 3 replications at the University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, Ardabil, Iran. Salicylic acid at concentrations of 0, 0.1, and 0.2 g L-1 were sprayed on whole plant at 3 stages (twice before flowe...

Silymarin, a secondary metabolite found mainly in the Silybum marianum L. fruits, has been associated with hepatoprotective activity of plant. Among various elicitors, salicylic acid, “Generally Regarded As Safe” compound recognized by Food and Drug Administration, is one those being used induction enhancement valuable plant production species. In this study, two concentrations (10−4 10−3 molar...

introduction lentil is one of the major legume with protein content about 28% where is cultivated in different regions of iran, especially in arid and semi-arid regions with low or variable rainfall. in these regions abiotic stresses such as heat of the around the end of growing season, drought stress in early and late within the season and salt stress alone or together have a large negative im...

salicylic acid (sa) is a phyto-hormone that regulates physiological and biological processes in plants and can be used to improve plant growth under different environmental conditions, including water stress. thus, a field experiment as split plot factorial based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications was conducted in 2014 to investigate the effects of fertilizer and salic...

this study was aimed to assess of priming effects on soluble proteins and antioxidant enzymes of as a nigella sativa medicinal plant under different levels of salinity and drought. two greenhouse factorial experiments with three replicated randomized complete block design were conducted.treatments included five levels of priming (potassium nitrate 1% and salicylic acid 0.2 mm in 6 hours, potass...

Salinity is one of the main challenges in agriculture, especially arid and semi-arid regions. Salicylic acid application may be a strategy to mitigate harmful effects salt stress on plant growth. Basil (Ocimum basilicum ) medicinal, spice, ornamental grown around world that has its growth reduced by stress. Therefore, objective was evaluate salicylic mitigating damage caused ‘Cinnamon’ basil. G...

Plants and animals produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) in response to infection. In plants, ROS not only activate defense responses and promote cell death to limit the spread of pathogens but also restrict the amount of cell death in response to pathogen recognition. Plants also use hormones, such as salicylic acid, to mediate immune responses to infection. However, there are long-lasting bio...
