Salicylic acid-induced adaptive response to copper stress in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)

Abstract: The ameliorative effect of salicylic acid (SA: 0.5 mM) on sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) under Cu stress (5 mg l -1 ) was studied. Excess Cu reduced the fresh and dry weights of different organs (roots, stems and leaves) and photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a, b and carotenoids) in four-week-old plants. There was a considerable increase in Chl a/b ratio and lipid peroxidation in both the roots and leaves of plants under excess Cu. Soluble sugars and free amino acids in the roots also decreased under Cu s… Show more

“…Copper toxicity also can decrease the root hair number and cell proliferation (ElTayeb et al, 2006). El-Tayeb et al (2006) revealed that root growth of sunflower decreased and apical dominance disappeared due to root meristem cell death in higher copper stress; subsequently to maintain the survival of plants and absorb water and nutrients, the secondary root number increased, the similarity of that we found in lettuce. A significant reduction in SVI was seen when the seeds were treated with a high copper concentration in comparison to the seeds that treated with water (Fig.…”
