Abstract

Salinity is an important
abiotic stress which reduces the productivity and quality of agricultural areas
by also negatively affecting plant growth and development. This study was
conducted to determine changes on some morphological, physiological and
biochemical parameters caused by different salt concentrations as well as to
determine the effect of exogenous salicylic acid (SA) application on these
changes for basil plant (Ocimum
basilicum L.) which has an
economical value due to its nice odor and essential oil content. Plant heigth,
number of tree branches, fresh and dry herbal weights, pigment contents of
leaves and antioxidant enzyme activities decreased for plants on which only
NaCl (25 and 50 mM) application was made but foliar SA application was not;
while malondialdehyde (MDA) content and essential oil ratios increased on
leaves of the plants. While plant heigth, number of tree branches, fresh and
dry herbal weights, pigment contents of leaves did not generally change for
plants which were subjected to NaCl stress after foliar SA application; MDA
content, essential oil ratios and antioxidant enzyme activities increased. This
study has shown that exogenous SA application decreased in general negative effects
caused by salt stress.

Tuz (NaCl) Stresine Maruz Kalan Reyhan (Ocimum basilicum L.) Bitkisinde Bazı Morfolojik, Fizyolojik ve Biyokimyasal Parametreler Üzerine Salisilik Asidin Etkileri

Abstract

Tuzluluk bitki büyüme ve
gelişmesini olumsuz etkileyerek tarımsal alanlarda verim ve kaliteyi düşüren
önemli bir abiyotik strestir. Bu çalışma, güzel kokusu ve uçucu yağ içeriği ile
ekonomik bir değere sahip olan reyhan (Ocimum
basilicum L.) bitkisinde farklı tuz konsantrasyonlarının bazı morfolojik,
fizyolojik ve biyokimyasal parametreler üzerinde meydana getirdiği değişimleri
belirlemek ve bu değişimler üzerine dışsal salisilik asit (SA) uygulamasının
etkilerini saptamak amacı ile yapılmıştır. Yapraklara SA uygulaması yapılmadan
sadece NaCl (25 ve 50 mM) uygulanan bitkilerde bitki boyu, dal sayısı, taze ve
kuru herba ağırlıkları, yaprakların pigment içerikleri ve antioksidan enzim
aktiviteleri azalmış, buna karşın yapraklardaki malondialdehit (MDA) içeriği ve
uçucu yağ oranları artmıştır. Yapraklara 0.5 mM SA uygulaması yapıldıktan sonra
NaCl stresine maruz kalan bitkilerde ise bitki boyu, dal sayısı, taze ve kuru
herba ağırlıkları ile pigment içerikleri genel olarak değişmezken, MDA içeriği,
uçucu yağ oranları ve antioksidan enzim aktiviteleri artmıştır. Bu çalışma,
dışsal SA uygulamasının genel olarak tuz stresinin sebep olduğu olumsuz
etkileri azalttığını göstermiştir.
