Effect of benzyladenine and salicylic acid on biochemical traits of two cultivars of carnation

Abstract

Plant growth regulators have significant effect on the delaying senescence in buds and flowers. Present study was conducted to find out the effects of Salicylic acid and Benzyl adenine spraying on various biochemical traits such as membrane stability index, chlorophyll a, and b content, total chlorophyll content, sugar content, catalase, and peroxidase enzymes activity, and proline content in Carnation. Study was conducted in a split plot design with three replications and various concentrations of hormones, cultivars of carnation and measurement time was used as a factor of interaction. Results of study showed that all the traits were significantly affected by spraying of these tow hormones. Cultivar factor was most effective in chlorophyll a, b, and total chlorophyll content, catalase enzyme activity, proline content and sugar content. Among these two hormones, spraying of Salicylic acid @ 100 µM was found most effective treatment. Further, time of measurements and cultivar factors were also found effective in all of traits.

Effect of Pre Harvest Treatment on Flower Quality and Vase Life of Asiatic lilium cv. Arcachon

“…Ramtin et al, (2015) reported that BA@50 μM/L increase the floret length and flower diameter in carnation. Ramtin et al, (2016) showed that salicylic acid 100 μM, and benzyl adenine 100 μM had more effects than other plant growth hormones (Table 1).…”

Plant hormone ethylene: A leading edge in conferring drought stress tolerance

“…Cytokinins (CKs) exert a pivotal influence on various plant processes, such as cell division, stem elongation, reproductive development, and senescence, as well as enhancing environmental stress tolerance (Korobova et al, 2016; Ramtin et al, 2019; Hai et al, 2020; Veselova et al, 2021). Exogenous application of CK delays drought‐triggered senescence, regulates source‐sink alterations and boosts grain yield in rice by modulating CK biosynthesis genes, mainly ISOPENTENYL TRANSFERASE ( IPT ), thereby bestowing drought tolerance (Peleg et al, 2011).…”

Influence of Benzyladenine and Kristalon Fertilizer Treatments on Growth and Chemical Constituents of Lemon Cypress (Cupressus Macrocarpa L.) Plant

“…Also, Ali and Asil (2015) revealed that spraying Schefflera arboricola plants with cytokinins (BA) at 100 mg/l significantly increased photosynthetic pigments contents. Also Youssef and Mady (2013) stated that treating Aspidistra elatior by 75 ppm of BA encouraged the best leaf N, P, K and Ramtin et al (2016) pointed out that the use of foliar spray with a concentration 150 μM of benzyladenine led to an apparent effect and increase in the plant content of chlorophyll (a) and (b) on carnation plants.…”
