“…Edible flowers have recently been substantially publicized due to changes in eating styles and the return to previous lifestyles, in which edible flowers played an important role (Rop et al 2012). Tropaeolum majus L. (Tropaeolaceae), popularly known as nasturtium, is an edible, ornamental and medicinal plant, with showy flowers (Melo et al 2018) and widely known as an unconventional food plant.…”

The salinity of the soil and irrigation water is one of the great challenges of agriculture. Salinity can have harmful effects on physiological processes and plant growth, including Tropaeolum majus L. (Tropaeolaceae). The application of phytohormones can be a strategy to mitigate these effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the application of jasmonic acid, salicylic acid, cytokinin and polyamine as attenuators of salt stress in T. majus. Three levels of salt stress were used: 0 mM NaCl (no stress), 50 mM NaCl (moderate stress) and 100 mM NaCl (severe stress). Four phytohormones and a control treatment were used: control (deionized water), jasmonic acid (200 µM), salicylic acid (2 mM), cytokinin (6-benzylaminopurine – 10 µM) and polyamine (spermine – 1 mM). Growth and gas exchange parameters were evaluated. Applied in conditions of moderate salt stress, all the phytohormones were efficient in improving plant height and leaf area (except salicylic acid); cytokinin and polyamine improved the number of flowers as well as gs, A and iCE; jasmonic acid improved the stem dry mass and total dry mass. In relation to severe salt stress, applications of jasmonic acid and polyamine were efficient in improving plant height; cytokinin improved leaf dry mass as well as gs, A, E, WUE, iWUE and iCE. The application of cytokinin, polyamine and jasmonic acid can be used to mitigate moderate salt stress in T. majus.

“…The plant is rich in bioactive compounds such as phenolic acids, flavonoids, carotenoids, anthocyanin, cucurbitine and scorbic acid (Bazylko et al, 2013). Therefore, it is commonly used in the food industry or for human health (as anti-hypertensive, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and anti-depressive) (Garzón and Wrolstad, 2009;Melo et al, 2018). Checking and revising of the published texts of the flora of Saudi Arabia (Chaudhary 1999(Chaudhary , 2000(Chaudhary , 2001 and other systematic resources revealed that the family Tropaeolaceae is not reported in the Kingdom before this study.…”

The family Tropaeolaceae was reported for the first time in Saudi Arabia. The new record (Tropaeolum majus L.) from the Tropaeolaceae family was found in damp and exposed semi-shaded habitats between roughly 1800 and 2132 m elevation in southwestern Saudi Arabia. Illustrations, photos, taxonomic description, distribution map, key and information about the habitat of the plant were given. This study suggests that the new record is an introduced alien plant into Saudi Arabia. Bangladesh J. Plant Taxon. 29(1): 79-84, 2022 (June)

“…Tropaeolum majus L. (nasturtium, Tropaeolaceae) has potential to be intercropped with vacum. Nasturtium is an edible plant with medicinal properties against cardiovascular disorders (Jakubczyk et al, 2018), urinary tract infections, antiseptic and expectorant activities (Melo et al, 2018). As a vegetable, the whole aerial part is used for human consumption, with leaves and flowers being sources of vitamin C and mineral salts (Jakubczyk et al, 2018).…”
