“…The control plants (C) were sprayed with only Tween-20 dissolved in deionized water. The concentrations of elicitors were selected based both on the literature Złotek et al, 2014) and on previous screening experiments (data not shown), so as not to lead to negative effects on the health and growth of plants. Fifteen days after the elicitation, the herbs (leaves) were collected, frozen (at -50°C), and used in further analyses.…”

Marjoram (Origanum majorana L.), commonly known as sweet marjoram, is a plant from the Lamiaceae family, which is cultivated mainly for its aromatic leaves used for culinary purposes (Prerna and Vasudeva, 2015). This herb has been traditionally used, especially in India, for thousands of years for the treatment of gastrointestinal disturbances, cough, and bronchial diseases (Saxena et al., 2016 ABSTRACTBackground. Elicitation, which is a way of inducing plant secondary metabolism, may be an effective method for improving the quality of plant food. The aim of this study was to determine how the application of jasmonic acid (as an abiotic elicitor) and yeast extract (as a biotic elicitor) influences the production of some bioactive compounds in marjoram and the antioxidant activity of this herb. Material and methods. Elicitation with 0.01 µM and 1 µM jasmonic acid as well as 0.1% and 1% yeast extracts was used for improving the health-benefiting quality of marjoram. The study focused on the effects of eliciting the level of some phytochemicals and the antioxidant activity of marjoram.Results. There were no significant differences in total phenolic content between the elicited and control plants. In turn, the elicitation with 0.1% and 1% yeast extracts caused 1.8-and 2.5-fold increases in the ascorbic acid content in marjoram leaves, respectively. Both biotic and abiotic elicitation resulted in elevation of chlorophyll content, but only the abiotic elicitor (jasmonic acid) caused a significant increase (by over 50%) in the carotenoid content of marjoram leaves. The antiradical activity of marjoram was increased by the abiotic and biotic elicitation, whereas only the abiotic elicitation resulted in improving the reducing power of this herb. Conclusions. In conclusion, biotic and abiotic elicitation could be an effective strategy for improving the level of some phytochemicals, as well as the antioxidant activity of marjoram. A particularly valuable finding obtained in this study is that natural elicitors e.g. yeast extract can be equally effective in elevating the content of some bioactive compounds in herbs e.g. marjoram as an abiotic one.

“…Elicitation has been widely used not only to increase production, but also to induce de novo synthesis of secondary metabolites in vitro plant cell culture. Growing interest in utilizing elicitation as a method for improving the quality of whole edible plant has been increasing recently (Złotek et al, 2014). Thus, elicitation to the YBS might be a useful method to increase its growth parameters, particularly fresh weight.…”

“…There are several methods to improve the quality in fresh vegetables, including genetic modification and agronomical manipulation (particularly fertilization) (Złotek et al, 2014). Elicitation might be a good method to induce the synthesis of bioactive secondary metabolites (Dueñas et al, 2015).…”

“…The reason for this is that it may enhance bioactive compounds in plants, thereby producing secondary metabolite by rapidly responding to stress/elicitor. Therefore, quality of edible plant may be improved by elicitation (Złotek et al, 2014).…”

“…Application of elicitors in promoting crop quality had been studied and published in the past (Złotek et al, 2014;Pérez-Balibrea et al, 2011). There has not been any comparative studies regarding the effect of SA, MJ, ALF and MMA on the growth and bioactivity of barley.…”

This study is focused on the evaluation of growth parameters, total polyphenol content (TPC), chlorophyll content as well as the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryhydrazyl) free radical scavenging activity of young barley seedling (YBS) affected by elicitation. Salicylic acid (SA), methyl jasmonate (MJ), amino acid liquid fertilizer (ALF) and microbial metabolism activator (MMA) were used. Elicitation was conducted for two times and various concentrations were used in this study. The result revealed that, MJ 1 ml/L treated-YBS gave the longest seedling length of 1.33 cm, followed by the ones treated with SA 1.38 mg/L and ALF 2 ml/L, respectively. ALF 3 ml/L treatment gave the highest fresh weight of 10 seedlings, followed by MJ 5 ml/L and SA 13.8 mg/L treatment with 1.56 g, 1.55 g and 1.53 g respectively. SA 138.12 mg/L elicitor treated-YBS gave the highest Chl a, Chl b content of 8.57 μg/mg and 3.83 μg/mg, respectively while the highest carotenoid content was found in MJ ml/L treatment with 1.62 μg/mg. Among elicitor treated-YBS, SA showed better TPC. The highest TPC was found in SA 1.38 mg/L treatment with 18.82 mg/g TAE. Likewise, SA 1.38 mg/L showed the highest DPPH free radical scavenging activity among all the treatments. However, the lowest TPC was found in ALF 1ml/L treated-YBS with 9.46 mg/g TAE, which was even lower than the control (14.31 mg/g TAE).
