Role ofUlva lactucaExtract in Alleviation of Salinity Stress on Wheat Seedlings

Abstract: Seaweeds are potentially excellent sources of highly bioactive materials that could represent useful leads in the alleviation of salinity stress. The effects of presoaking wheat grains in water extract of Ulva lactuca on growth, some enzymatic activities, and protein pattern of salinized plants were investigated in this study. Algal presoaking of grains demonstrated a highly significant enhancement in the percentage of seed germination and growth parameters. The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catal… Show more

“…Such decrease or increase in POD activity can be attributed to the presence of antioxidant compounds such as AsA, Pro, betaine and glutathione in halophytic extracts which have the potential to reduce cell damage caused by ROS. These results being in harmony with those reported by Ibrahim et al (2014), they observed a decrease in the activities of antioxidant enzymes in salinity stressed wheat seedlings, while presoaking of grains with Ulva lactuca extract has increased them.…”

“…The application of Ulva lactuca extracts to Triticum aestivum seedlings under salinity enhanced plant fresh and dry weigh, APX, and glutathione reductase (GR) activities at a 1% application rate. At 10%, it increased SOD and CAT activities [ 35 ]. A significant increase of activities of SOD, APX, CAT, and POD was also found in wheat plants ( T. aestivum L., cv.…”

“…These authors found that when spraying Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper plants with extract of Ulva reticulata Forsskal seaweed at 2%, the levels of chlorophyll, proteins, sugars and starch increased significantly. The increase in chlorophyll content can be explained by the bioactive components found in U. lactuca extracts, such as ascorbic acid, betaine, glutathione and proline, which would actively participate in the alleviation during stress periods of plants (Ibrahim et al, 2014). A study conducted by Mansori et al (2015) showed that plants of sage (Salvia officinalis L.) under water stress conditions showed increased glycine betaine levels, but these decreased significantly when extracts of Ulva rigida C. Agardh at 50% were applied.…”
