“…Jaffel-Hamza et al [29], who increased the EC from a standard nutrient solution with NaCl, recorded similar results with low salinity (25 mM), while they reported that a 5 dS m -1 increase above this EC resulted in a significant decrease in the vegetative growth of leaves, stems, roots and buds. In contrast, these same authors [30] recorded a significant reduction in the production of biomass from a nutrient solution with the addition of 25 mM NaCl, as also recorded by [31] from an EC of 5 dS m -1 .…”

Effects of the electrical conductivity of a soilless culture system on gamma linolenic acid levels in borage seed oil

Borage is a well-known plant of great importance in human nutrition and health. Expanding knowledge of particular plants that have anti-cancer products is a global concern. There is substantial information regarding the benefits, presence and extraction of gamma linolenic acid (GLA; 18:3n6) in different plants around the world, especially in borage seeds. However, there is little information concerning the effects of the salinity of the nutrient solution on the growth and presence of GLA in borage seeds. The objective of this work was to determine the optimal salinity of the nutrient solution for obtaining GLA in soilless cultivation systems. Borage plants were grown in coconut fibre and provided three treatments of nutrient solution of 2.20, 3.35 and 4.50 dS m -1 , increasing solution salinity with the standard nutrient solution of concentrated macronutrients as a reference. Vegetative growth, seed production and GLA ratio were measured. The results of vegetative development and GLA production doubled and tripled with the increase in salinity of the nutrient solution, respectively.

“…The highest ECs showed a much higher precocity in the first fortnight (Fig 1). In contrast, [29] significantly reduced flowering from the very first salinity treatment applied (25 mM NaCl). Over the complete crop cycle, the number of flowers at the highest EC was significantly higher.…”

“…Hydrogen peroxide mediated cell damage was associated with the initiation and progression of many diseases [63]. In vivo, although H 2 O 2 is short-lived [64], it is highly toxic and induces cell death in vitro [65]. The present results suggested that roots of calendula plants should be preferred over other parts having low H 2 O 2 concentrations when collected from saline environments.…”

“…In the present study, salinity increased MDA contents in the flowers while nonsaline and saline-alkali environment increased MDA contents in the leaves. Salinity mediated increased production of MDA has been shown in many plants [37,65,68]. Interestingly, plants grown under saline-alkali conditions had less MDA contents in the flowers and more in the roots.…”

Stressful environments have been shown to affect the metabolism in some plants. In the present study, we assessed whether semiarid environment (saline and saline alkaline soil) could affect the nutritional (total proteins, phenolics and riboflavin contents, and catalase activity) and antinutritional (hydrogen peroxide and malondialdehyde contents) properties differently in different plant parts (leaves, flowers, and roots) of calendula. Although salinity decreased plant biomass, it did not affect total protein and phenolics contents in the calendula. All plant parts were rich in riboflavin contents. However, plants grown under saline-alkali soil had relatively more riboflavin contents in the flowers. Salinity increased hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) concentration in the flowers and roots, whereas saline-alkali soil did not affect it. Plants exposed to both saline and saline-alkali soil had greater catalase activity in the flowers and leaves. Plants exposed to salinity had higher malondialdehyde (MDA) contents in the flowers compared with nonsaline and saline-alkali conditions. Nonetheless, the possibility of safely using different parts of calendula as nutraceutical was in the order flower > root > leaf. Overall, the results suggested that plant can be grown in mild saline-alkali (EC ≤ 7; pH = 8.5) soils without affecting its nutraceutical properties.
