“…The amounts of vitamin C recorded following the analysis of the green fruits of bitter cucumber showed differences both between the control and the treated variants of each genotype and between genotypes (Figure 4). The differences between the amounts of AsA in untreated plants highlight the ability of some genotypes to naturally synthesize higher amounts of vitamin C, something highlighted by Meghashree et al (2023) [53]. Following the application of saline treatments, a tendency for the amounts of vitamin C to increase in proportion to the increase in the concentration of the saline solution applied was observed (Figure 4), with the exception of the Brâncusi variety where, in the case of the variant treated with 200 mM saline solution, the concentration of vitamin C was higher than in the control but lower than in the variant treated with 100 mM saline.…”

Momordica charantia (bitter cucumber) is a tropical and subtropical plant with a long history of use in traditional medicine. Salinity is a major problem that limits plant growth and biomass production. The aim of this work was to determine the salinity tolerance of bitter cucumber, through the spectral analyses of some metabolites involved in their response to abiotic stress factors. To carry out the experiment, two varieties of bitter cucumber and three experimental lines were subjected to saline stress by applying treatments with saline solutions in different concentrations (control—0 mM NaCl; V1—100 mM NaCl; and V2—200 mM NaCl). After applying the treatments, analyses were carried out on the amount of free proline (Pro), ascorbic acid, and aromatic amino acids. For proline and ascorbic acid, the tendency was for their concentration to decrease in the variants treated with saline solutions" with "the tendency was for their absorbance to decrease in the variants treated with saline solutions. The differences between the controls and the treated variants, as well as between the studied genotypes, highlight their capacity for resistance and adaptation to saline stress.
