“…Therefore, The high anti-radical activity observed in plants treated with 100 mM was presumably also due to the implication of antioxidant enzymes (i.e., SOD, CAT, POD, and APX) as well as antioxidant metabolites (i.e., such ascorbic acid, reduced glutathione, carotenoids, tocopherols, alkaloids, and non-protein amino acids [52] or to particular phenolic compounds induced by salt treatment. The decrease in the DPPH-radical scavenging effect was similar to that observed in Coriandrum staivum [44]. Thus, it has been found under saline conditions that the scavenging activity was strongly diminished, the IC50 values increased by 116%, 129%, and 188%, respectively, at 25, 50, and 75 mM NaCl in comparison to the control.…”
