this study was conducted to determine the effect of foliar salicylic acid (sa) and citric acid (ca) applications on growth, biochemical characteristics and essential oil content of thyme (thymus vulgaris l.) grown under field conditions. salicylic acid (0.5 and 1 mm) and citric acid (5 and 10 mm) were applied three times during the vegetation at 15 day intervals. results revealed that foliar ap...

Background & Aim: Turmeric, scientifically named (Curcuma longa L.), a member of ginger (Zingiberaceae) family, is a perennial plant, with pharmaceutical properties and with a rhizome. This plant has many medicinal characteristics including anti-cancer, anti-bacteria and anti-hepatitis properties. Experimental: To study the effects of Gibberellic acid and Salicylic acid on leaf, the r...

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...

Drought stress is considered as a restricting factor in plant production and salicylic acid (SA) has been reported to minimize the harmful effects of many stresses including drought. In this study, salicylic acid was sprayed on the leaves of Brassica napus at the 4-leaf stage at concentrations of 0.5, 1 and 1.5 mM for two days. Plants were subjected to drought stress (withholding water for five...

Salicylic acid plays a critical role in activating plant defence responses after pathogen attack. Salicylic acid methyltransferase (SAMT) modulates the level of salicylic acid by converting salicylic acid to methyl salicylate. Here, we report that a SAMT gene from soybean (GmSAMT1) plays a role in soybean defence against soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines Ichinohe, SCN). GmSAMT1 was ide...

Salicylic acid (SA) is a primary phytohormone released in response to stress (particularly biotic infections) plants. Monitoring SA levels plants may provide way for early crop disease detection and application of effective measures, resulting higher agricultural efficiency. Additionally, an important chemical the pharmaceutical healthcare industry due its analgesic anti-inflammatory properties...
