Salicylic acid inhibited ethylene formation from ACC in self-buffered (pH 3.8) pear (Pyrus communis) cell suspension cultures with a K(1) (app) of about 10 micromolar after 1 to 3 hours incubation. Inhibition appeared noncompetitive. Among 22 related phenolic compounds tested, only acetylsalicylic acid showed similar levels of inhibition. Inhibition by salicylic acid was inversely dependent on ...

background the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of ginger and glibenclamide on oxidative stress markers. oxidative stress is caused by an unbalance between a relative overload of oxidants and depletion of antioxidants, as implicated in the pathogenesis of several chronic diseases, including atherosclerosis and diabetes mellitus. regarding the role of oxidative stress in th...

Previous studies have shown that exposure of He La cells stably transfected with an HIV-long terminal repeat-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (HIV-LTR-CAT) construct to many DNA-damaging agents (such as UV light) induces expression from the HIV LTR. By culturing the cells with salicylic acid we demonstrated dose-dependent repression of this IVor c/'s-platinum (m-Pt)-induced HIV expression. Whi...

effects of seed priming by salicylic acid on yield and yield components of cowpea (vigna unguiculata) cultivar “parastou” were investigated under water deficit conditions. experiment was carried out as a split block design with three replications in 2008-2009 at research station of zanjan university. factors included drought stress as main factor with three levels (normal irrigation, applicatio...

cold stress is considered as a restricting factor in plant production. recently, many different compounds were applied to minimize the harmful effects of stress. in this study, the effects of foliar application of salicylic acid was studied on some biochemical properties of two different cold resistant canola cultivars. salicylic acid was sprayed at four concentrations (0, 100, 200 and 400 µm) ...

Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) is a common nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug used for treatment of pain and arthritis. In the body, acetylsalicylic acid is rapidly deacetylated to form salicylic acid. Both compounds have been proposed as anti-inflammatory agents. Major metabolites of salicylic acid are its acyl and phenolic glucuronide conjugates. Formation of these conjugates, catalyzed by U...

ABSTRACT The salinity of irrigation water and soil create considerable challenges in agriculture, as they harm the physiological processes growth plants. exogenous application antioxidant compounds, such salicylic acid, can reduce damage caused by salt stress. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate attenuation stress induced acid Ocimum basilicum “Cinnamon”. experiment was performed randomized bloc...

Temperature changes occur in nature faster than other stressors. Plants due to inability to move and change their position, are exposed to extensive variations in daily or seasonal temperature, and therefore, should quickly and effectively adapt to temperature stress. In order to study the effects of heat stress on physiological traits of forage maize hybrids, a factorial split plot experiment ...

We have investigated the electrochemical oxidation of a number natural phenolics (salicylic acid, m-hydroxybenzoic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, protocatechuic acid, o-coumaric acid, m-coumaric acid, p-coumaric acid, caffeic acid, quercetin and rutin) using cyclic voltammetry. The antioxidant properties of these compounds were also studied. A structural analysis of the tested phenolics suggests ...

gerbera (gerbereajamesonii) cut flower has magnificent economical value in international cut flower industry. due to sensitivityto ethylene and to gray mold, it has a short postharvest life. in this research, the effects of pulsing treatments with salicylic acid (100 and 200 mg/l) and methyl jasmonate (25 and 50 mg/l) for 24h on quality and vase-life of gerbera cut flower were assessed. distill...
