“…The collective data on SA and oxidative stress have a complex pattern, consistent with the type of model proposed by Rao and Davis (1999) in which SA maintains the cellular redox state and potentiates defenses in ozonetreated plants, but excessive SA levels activate an oxidative burst and cell death. Thus, in different abiotic stresses, SA can apparently decrease (Borsani et al, 2001;Nemeth et al, 2002) or promote (Dat et al, 1998a(Dat et al, , 2000Lopez-Delgado et al, 1998a;Janda et al, 1999;Senaratna et al, 2000;Kang and Saltveit, 2002;Larkindale and Knight, 2002;Kang et al, 2003;Clarke et al, 2004) tolerance. Moreover, higher concentrations of SA are often superoptimal in cases where SA treatments can improve stress tolerance (Dat et al, 1998a(Dat et al, , 2000Lopez-Delgado et al, 1998a), including cold tolerance (Janda et al, 1999;Senaratna et al, 2000;Kang et al, 2003).…”

“…Previous studies of SA in low-temperature physiology have examined tolerance of treatments causing injury in the species concerned and have tended to use short treatments with exogenous SA (Janda et al, 1999;Szalai et al, 2000;Bernard et al, 2002;Kang and Saltveit, 2002;Kang et al, 2003;Tasgin et al, 2003). For the type of long-term growth studies we conducted in conditions causing no detectable wild-type injury, such pharmacological approaches would be more problematic in execution and interpretation.…”

“…Freezing (subzero) or chilling (low positive) temperatures can cause injury or reduced growth depending on the cold tolerance of the species (Schneider et al, 1995;Pearce, 1999;Humphreys et al, 2003). Recent studies describe potentially valuable effects of salicylate treatment on cold tolerance in maize, rice, and wheat (Janda et al, 1999;Szalai et al, 2000;Kang and Saltveit, 2002;Tasgin et al, 2003), bean (Ding et al, 2002), cucumber (Kang and Saltveit, 2002), tomato (Senaratna et al, 2000;Ding et al, 2002), banana (Kang et al, 2003), and Persian lilac (Bernard et al, 2002).We have recently subjected a range of SA-related Arabidopsis genotypes to different temperatures (Clarke et al, 2004) and report here novel responses during prolonged growth at 5°C. Unlike most species in the above-mentioned cold tolerance papers, Arabidopsis is chilling resistant and able to grow to maturity at 5°C.…”

The growth of Arabidopsis plants in chilling conditions could be related to their levels of salicylic acid (SA). Plants with the SA hydroxylase NahG transgene grew at similar rates to Col-0 wild types at 23°C, and growth of both genotypes was slowed by transfer to 5°C. However, at 5°C, NahG plants displayed relative growth rates about one-third greater than Col-0, so that by 2 months NahG plants were typically 2.7-fold larger. This resulted primarily from greater cell expansion in NahG rosette leaves. Specific leaf areas and leaf area ratios remained similar in both genotypes. Net assimilation rates were similar in both genotypes at 23°C, but higher in NahG at 5°C. Chlorophyll fluorescence measurements revealed no PSII photodamage in chilled leaves of either genotype. Col-0 shoots at 5°C accumulated SA, particularly in glucosylated form. SA in NahG shoots showed similar tendencies at 5°C, but at greatly depleted levels. Catechol was not detected as a metabolite of the NahG transgene product. We also examined growth and SA levels in SA signaling and metabolism mutants at 5°C. The partially SAinsensitive npr1 mutant displayed growth intermediate between NahG and Col-0, while the SA-deficient eds5 mutant behaved like NahG. In contrast, the cpr1 mutant at 5°C accumulated very high levels of SA and its growth was much more inhibited than wild type. At both temperatures, cpr1 was the only SA-responsive genotype in which oxidative damage (measured as thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances) was significantly different from wild type.Salicylic acid (SA) has received much attention due to its association with economically important plant responses to disease and other stresses. Detailed evidence implicates SA in PR gene expression, systemic acquired resistance, and the hypersensitive response (Kunkel and Brooks, 2002). SA also seems to be involved in responses to abiotic stresses, such as ozone (Sharma et al., 1996;Rao and Davis, 1999;Koch et al., 2000), salt and osmotic stress (Borsani et al., 2001;Molina et al., 2002;Shim et al., 2003), UV-B (Surplus et al., 1998), drought (Senaratna et al., 2000Nemeth et al., 2002), paraquat (Kim et al., 2003, and heat (Dat et al., 1998a(Dat et al., , 1998b(Dat et al., , 2000Lopez-Delgado et al., 1998a;Senaratna et al., 2000;Larkindale and Knight, 2002; Clarke et al., 2004). Stress-influenced developmental transitions, including flowering (Hatayama and Takeno, 2003;Martinez et al., 2004), tuberization (Lopez-Delgado and Scott, 1997), and senescence (Morris et al., 2000), may also involve SA.Cold is one of the most important limitations to crop productivity and species distribution. Freezing (subzero) or chilling (low positive) temperatures can cause injury or reduced growth depending on the cold tolerance of the species (Schneider et al., 1995;Pearce, 1999;Humphreys et al., 2003). Recent studies describe potentially valuable effects of salicylate treatment on cold tolerance in maize, rice, and wheat (Janda et al., 1999;Szalai et al., 2000;Kang and Saltveit, 2002;Tasgin et al., 200...

“…Spraying banana (Musa acuminata coll., cv.) seedlings with SA (Kang et al, 2003) and exposing seedling of maize (Zea mays L.), rice (Oryza sativa L.) and cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) to SA significantly strengthened a tolerance to the subsequent chilling stress (Kang and Saltveit, 2002). SA is also involved in plants subject to salt (Borsani et al, 2001) and heavy metal stresses (Metwally et al, 2003;Yang et al, 2003;Drazic and Mihailovic, 2005).…”

Pretreatment with SA enhanced the antioxidant defense activities in Cd-stressed rice, thus alleviating Cd-induced oxidative damage and enhancing Cd tolerance. AbstractTime-dependent changes in enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants, and lipid peroxidation were investigated in roots of rice (Oryza sativa) grown hydroponically with Cd, with or without pretreatment of salicylic acid (SA). Exposure to 50 mM Cd significantly decreased root growth, and activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD), but increased the concentrations of H 2 O 2 , malondialdehyde (MDA), ascorbic acid (AsA), glutathione (GSH) and non-protein thiols (NPT). However, pretreatment with 10 mM SA enhanced the activities of antioxidant enzymes and the concentrations of non-enzymatic antioxidants, but lowered the concentrations of H 2 O 2 and MDA in the Cd-stressed rice compared with the Cd treatment alone. Pretreatment with SA alleviated the Cd-induced inhibition of root growth. The results showed that pretreatment with SA enhanced the antioxidant defense activities in Cd-stressed rice, thus alleviating Cd-induced oxidative damage and enhancing Cd tolerance. The possible mechanism of SA-induced H 2 O 2 signaling in mediating Cd tolerance was discussed.

Tobacco seeds and seedlings often encounter low temperature stress in China. An 'intelligent' tobacco seed pellet was developed to improve chilling tolerance by adding thermo-sensitive PNIPAAm-co-BMA (poly(N -isopropylacrylamide-cobutyl methacrylate)) hydrogel. PNIPAAm-co-BMA can detect changes in environmental temperature and change its reticular structure accordingly. In addition, the release rate of salicylic acid (SA) loaded in PNIPAAm-co-BMA hydrogel is changed. Tobacco seeds of two different chilling-tolerant tobacco varieties were pelleted by SA-loaded PNIPAAm-co-BMA, and then the germination characteristics, seedling quality and some physiological parameters of the seeds and seedlings were measured after a chilling stress at 11 • C for 5 d. The results showed that the germination percentage (GP), germination index (GI), root length, seedling dry weight and the activities of POD (peroxidase) were significantly increased and the concentration of MDA (malondialdehyde) was significantly decreased in the 'intelligent' seed pellets compared with the seeds without SA and PNIPAAm-co-BMA in both varieties. The results showed that the 'intelligent' seed pellets had thermo-sensitive traits; they enhanced and prolonged the efficiency and acting time of loaded SA. This indicated that the 'intelligent' seed pellets pelleted with SA-loaded PNIPAAm-co-BMA could be used to improve chilling tolerance.
