Response of NaCl stress to morphology and content of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and antioxidant activity in clove seeds (Syzycum aromaticum.L)

NaCl stress in plants affects various physiological and biochemical processes that result reduced biomass production. This study aims to determine the aspects of morphological changes with indications induction secondary metabolism survival, which is indicated by an indication increase bioactive compounds, including phenolic flavonoids, single oxygen (O2), hydroxyl radicals (OH-), ( O-2), superoxide. The clove seed pot experiment under used a randomized block design three replications. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation. significance difference between values was tested analysis variance, if there significant effect, then Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT). results on seeds showed fluctuating flavonoid content, almost all treatment optimum plant value obtained at concentration 200 mM, content (1.18μg GAE/g) flavonoids (0.158 g QE/g) 1.18μg GAE/g). antioxidant activity DPPH, Hydroxyl activity, Superoxide also affected
