wheat is one of the most important crops in the world that is constantly faced with the different biotic and abiotic stresses. programmed cell death is one of the methods for coping with different stress which is stimulated by several factors. because salicylic acid is involved in resistance to various stresses, to explore the effects of salicylic acid on programmed cell death, the effects of s...

Salicylic acid inhibited ethylene formation from ACC in self-buffered (pH 3.8) pear (Pyrus communis) cell suspension cultures with a K(1) (app) of about 10 micromolar after 1 to 3 hours incubation. Inhibition appeared noncompetitive. Among 22 related phenolic compounds tested, only acetylsalicylic acid showed similar levels of inhibition. Inhibition by salicylic acid was inversely dependent on ...

effects of seed priming by salicylic acid on yield and yield components of cowpea (vigna unguiculata) cultivar “parastou” were investigated under water deficit conditions. experiment was carried out as a split block design with three replications in 2008-2009 at research station of zanjan university. factors included drought stress as main factor with three levels (normal irrigation, applicatio...

cold stress is considered as a restricting factor in plant production. recently, many different compounds were applied to minimize the harmful effects of stress. in this study, the effects of foliar application of salicylic acid was studied on some biochemical properties of two different cold resistant canola cultivars. salicylic acid was sprayed at four concentrations (0, 100, 200 and 400 µm) ...

the effect of hot water treatments [45°c for five minutes, 55°c for 25 seconds and non-treated(control)], salicylic acid in three levels (0, 1 and 2 mm) and calcium chloride in two levels (2% and 4%) on quantitative and qualitative parameters and storage life of pomegranate cv. meykhosh were investigated. experiment was conducted as a factorial based on completely randomized design with three 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...

Temperature changes occur in nature faster than other stressors. Plants due to inability to move and change their position, are exposed to extensive variations in daily or seasonal temperature, and therefore, should quickly and effectively adapt to temperature stress. In order to study the effects of heat stress on physiological traits of forage maize hybrids, a factorial split plot experiment ...

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...
