Hydrogen peroxide and salt stress in radish: effects on growth, physiology, and root quality. PHYSIOLOGY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY OF PLANTS : AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FUNCTIONAL PLANT BIOLOGY 2024; 30:1175-1184. [PMID: 39100878 PMCID: PMC11291801 DOI: 10.1007/s12298-024-01476-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 06/07/2024] [Accepted: 06/22/2024] [Indexed: 08/06/2024]
Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays a central role in responses to salt stress, a major abiotic stress that impacts crop yield worldwide. Despite the evidence that H2O2 mitigates salt stress and improves post-harvest quality on several species, its effects on radish were not investigated so far. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the exogenous application of H2O2 on salt stress mitigation of radish growth, physiology, and post-harvest quality. For this, radish plants were grown in pots for 30 days, being watered with non-saline (0.31 dS m-1) or saline water (120 mM NaCl, 12.25 dS m-1). Plants were leaf-sprayed weekly with water (control - 0 µM H2O2) or H2O2 (150 or 1500 µM) solutions. The experimental design was completely randomized in a 3 × 2 factorial scheme (H2O2 treatments × salt stress conditions). The growth, physiology (gas exchanges, photochemical efficiency, relative water content, electrolyte leakage, and the contents of chlorophylls and carotenoids), and post-harvest attributes of globular roots (color, anthocyanins, vitamin C, phenolic compounds, and soluble solids) were determined. Salt stress decreased gas exchanges and increased electrolyte leakage, which resulted in stunted radish growth, and increased the contents of antioxidants, such as anthocyanins, soluble solids, and vitamin C, improving globular root quality. Conversely, H2O2 did not mitigate salt stress effects on radish growth, photosynthetic capacity, and oxidative damages. Although H2O2 increased vitamin C under non-stressed condition, it was decreased under salt stress. Thus, we conclude that H2O2 did not mitigate salt stress on radish growth and quality.

Preharvest Methyl Jasmonate Treatment Affects the Mineral Profile, Metabolites, and Antioxidant Capacity of Radish Microgreens Produced without Substrate. Foods 2024; 13:789. [PMID: 38472902 DOI: 10.3390/foods13050789] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2024] [Revised: 02/29/2024] [Accepted: 02/29/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
This study investigated the impact of Methyl Jasmonate (MeJA) application on the nutritional content and yield of five different colored radish microgreens. Microgreens were produced without substrate and subjected to 0.5 mM and 1.0 mM MeJA treatments on the 7th day, three days before harvest. The parameters measured included yield, dry matter, minerals, amino acids, secondary metabolites such as chlorophylls (Chls), anthocyanins, flavonoids, phenolics, glucosinolates (GSLs), vitamin C, and antioxidant capacity. MeJA at 1.0 mM generally improved yield and dry weight across cultivars, and all microgreens exhibited rich mineral and amino acid composition, with the influence of cultivar being more significant than MeJA treatment. However, MeJA enhanced all cultivars' anthocyanins, GSLs, phenolics, flavonoids, and antioxidant activities. Generally, as the antioxidant capacity is the primary factor influencing the nutritional quality of microgreens, MeJA-treated microgreens, especially with selected superior cultivars such as 'Asia purple' and 'Koregon red', could offer a potential for cultivation of value-added, eco-friendly microgreens with substrate-free cultivation.

Abstract
Anthocyanin accumulation in plants plays important roles in plant growth and development, as well as the response to environmental stresses. Anthocyanins have antioxidant properties and play an important role in maintaining the reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis in plant cells. Furthermore, anthocyanins also act as a "sunscreen", reducing the damage caused by ultraviolet radiation under high-light conditions. The biosynthesis of anthocyanin in plants is mainly regulated by an MYB-bHLH-WD40 (MBW) complex. In recent years, many new regulators in different signals involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis were identified. This review focuses on the regulation network mediated by different environmental factors (such as light, salinity, drought, and cold stresses) and phytohormones (such as jasmonate, abscisic acid, salicylic acid, ethylene, brassinosteroid, strigolactone, cytokinin, and auxin). We also discuss the potential application value of anthocyanin in agriculture, horticulture, and the food industry.

Abstract
Secondary metabolites are highly beneficial to human health and have commercial and industrial values. So, this research aimed to study the effects of exogenous salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) on some secondary metabolites in purple coneflower. A field experiment as a randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in Shahrood, Iran. Treatments were the factorial arrangement of 3 SA (0, 0.5, and 1 millimole) and 4 JA concentrations (0, 5, 20, and 50 micromole). The non-linear regression procedure was employed to quantify the relation of these materials with each other. The results indicated that the SA effect on all ten measured secondary metabolites changed with changing the JA levels as there was the interaction between these elicitors. On average, most (7 out of 11) of the combined SA_JA levels up-regulated the production of secondary metabolites as compared to the plants not sprayed with SA and JA. In terms of average response to elicitation with 11 combined SA_JA levels, they ranked from higher to lower as the guaiacol peroxidase, hydrogen proxide (H2O2), polyphenol oxidase, glutathione S-transferase, superoxide dismutase, NADPH oxidase, total phenolic content, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, anthocyanin, and flavonoid. A few secondary metabolites appeared to have a biphasic relationship with each other. For instance, over lower and medium values of NADPH oxidase activity, anthocyanin content increased linearly with increasing NADPH oxidase activity; over higher values of NADPH oxidase activity, it showed a plateau state.

Abstract
Red willow, an economically important ornamental shrub in Iran, is characterized mainly by its red stems, making it a valuable ornamental plant in flower markets. This study aimed to investigate the effect of foliar application of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and ascorbic acid on the morphological and biochemical characteristics of red willow. The experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design with two factors and three replications. Juvenile willow shrubs (3 to 4-year-old red) were cultivated in Hossein Abad village, Markazi province, Iran. The experimental treatments consisted of MeJA (0, 100 and 200 mgL-1) and ascorbic acid (0, 100 and 200 mgL-1). Several traits were evaluated such as the longest branch and two nearest heights, total shrub diameter, the longest branch diameter (at lower, middle and upper parts), total anthocyanin content of the longest branch, salicin content, leaf chlorophyll (a, b and a + b) content, and carotenoid content. In addition, the number, length and width of leaves from the longest branch, fresh and dry weight of branches were analyzed. Results revealed that the application of MeJA and ascorbic acid significantly increased growth characteristics (height, leaf number, total shrub diameter, branch diameter, fresh and dry weight and total anthocyanin content) of red willow shrubs. Furthermore, it was found that 200 mgL-1 treatments of these two substances produced the best results. Red willow shrub growth parameters and yield were also improved by the interaction of these two factors. Additionally, a significant correlation was found between total anthocyanin content and leaf number of the longest branch, total shrub diameter, the height of nearest branch 2 and the plant fresh weight.

Nutrient Deficiency Affects the Growth and Nitrate Concentration of Hydroponic Radish. HORTICULTURAE 2021.

Abstract
In hydroponics, a continuous supply of mineral nutrients is essential for plant growth. However, constitutive nutrient-rich conditions also increase the nitrate content in the plants, which can be harmful to human health. Here, we investigated the effect of nutrient deficiency on the growth and component composition of hydroponic radish by changing the timing of nutrient removal from the hydroponic solution. Radish plants that were 14 days old were transferred to four different nutrient conditions for 14 days: nutrient deficiency for 14 days (WW), full nutrient for 14 days (NN), nutrient deficiency for the last 7 days (NW), and nutrient deficiency for the first 7 days (WN). After the treatments, the NW plants had similar taproot growth to NN plants. In contrast, the WN plants significantly reduced taproot growth. The WW plants reduced the shoot and taproot weight and their water contents. The nitrate content in the taproots was reduced in the NW and WW plants. The WW plants contained lower total phenol and higher ascorbic acid and sugar contents. These results suggest that the uptake of nutrient minerals at the young growth stage is important for the growth of radish taproot. Nutrient deficiency management can be one of the most effective tools for regulating radish growth and composition.

Abstract
Salinity stress is one of the main limiting factors of medicinal plant growth and may affect their characteristics and chemical composition. In order to evaluate the response of different species of Iranian mint to salinity stress, an experiment was designed in greenhouse conditions. In this experiment, six Iranian mint species were cultivated in pots under different salinity stress including 0, 2.5, 5, and 7.5 dS/m. The chlorophyll indices (a, b, total, and a/b ratio), carotenoids, total anthocyanin, total phenolic and flavonoid content, antioxidant activity, dry matter yield, and essential oil content were measured in two different harvest stages. Salinity stress affected various measured traits. The results showed that despite the negative effect of salinity stress on photosynthetic pigments, in some ecotypes and species, photosynthetic pigments were not affected by salinity stress. The amount of total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, and total anthocyanin increased in response to salinity stress. The dry matter decreased under salinity stress, but the content of essential oil increased as a result of salinity stress increment. The results of PCA biplot showed that the E16 and E18 ecotypes were separated by a large distance. Among the various ecotypes, E18 had the most desirable traits which can be recognized as a salt-tolerant ecotype. Also, piperita species was the best among the species in all salinity stress levels.
