“…In this context, plant breeding, optimal crop management, and plant bioregulators have been extensively used [2]. Bioregulators are natural or synthetic plant growth regulators, essential for plant development and metabolism under normal and stressful conditions [11,12]. Plant bioregulators include auxin, gibberellin, abscisic acid, cytokinin, salicylic acid (SA), nitric oxide, methyl jasmonate, paclobutrazol, and ethephon, among others [2,13,14].…”

The exogenous application of bioregulators, such as salicylic acid (SA), has exhibited promising outcomes in alleviating drought stress. Nevertheless, its impact on culantro (Eryngium foetidum L.) remains unexplored. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess how SA impacts the growth, morphophysiology, and essential oil composition of culantro when subjected to drought. To achieve this, culantro plants were grown under three different watering regimes: well-watered, drought-stressed, and re-watered. Additionally, they were either treated with SA (100 µM) or left untreated, with water serving as the control. SA application did not mitigate the effects of drought in biomass production but increased biomass, leaf number, leaf area, and photosynthetic pigments under well-irrigated and re-watered conditions. After a drought period followed by re-watering, plants recovered membrane integrity independently of SA application. Water stress and the exogenous application of SA also modulated the profile of essential oils. This is the first report about SA and drought affecting growth and essential oil composition in culantro.
