abstract effect of different concentrations of salicylic acid on postharvest life of kiwifruit (actinidia deliciosa) cultivar hayward at 0 ±.5 °c and 90-95% rh was studied. fruits were treated with salicylic acid (0, 1 and 2 mmol/l-1) and stored at 0±.5°c for 16 weeks. fruit quality attributes assessment including firmness, total acidity, soluble solid content, ascorbic acid, antioxidant activi...

in this study, the effect of salicylic acid (sa) on root knot nematode (meloidogyne javanica) pathogenicity and induction of some defense mechanisms such as polyphenol oxidase enzyme activity and total phenol accumulation were investigated in greenhouse conditions. we demonstrated that application of 5mm salicylic acid through foliar spray could induce resistance against m. javanica in tomato. ...

Understanding intermolecular interactions between drugs and proteins is very important in drug delivery studies. Here, we studied different binding interactions between salicylic acid and bovine serum albumin (BSA) using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Salicylic acid was labeled with a stable radical (spin label) in order to monitor its mobilized (free) or immobilized (bound...

Present study was conducted to investigate whether plant growth regulators viz. salicylic acid and ascorbic acid can alleviate the adverse effects of drought stress on germination and seedling growth of two sunflower hybrids (Hysun-33 and Hysun-38). Two (-0.06 MPa and -0.12 MPa) levels of drought stress were created by adding different concentrations of (PEG8000) polyethylene glycol in growth m...

In other to study the effects of salicylic acid on reproductive characters of ‘Elberta’ Peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) tree, an experiment was carried out based on randomized complete blocks design with four replications in commercial orchard, Kerman, Iran. The application of three concentrations of salicylic acid 0 (control), 1and 2 mM at swollen bud stage were used. Results showed that appl...

because of the harmful effects of chemicals on human health and environment, use of these compounds in postharvest technology of agricultural crops is recently restricted and it is necessary to find safe compounds for use in postharvest technology of fruits and vegetables. in this study, effects of salicylic acid and aloe vera gel on quality attributes and postharvest life of table grape(cv. gi...
