“…However, minimum shoot length (9.4cm) was observed in variety TJ-83 at 16dS/m -1 NaCl level. Our result are in agreement with [23], who also found that seedling establishment at early growth stages of plants is crucial for getting maximum shoot length and consequently higher yield. The findings of [24], also support the results of current investigation who also observed reduced growth of wheat cultivars under higher level of salt concentrations.…”

“…This fact suggests that the induction of proline synthesis is related not only to changes in the water potential and to the salinity type -chloride and sulfate, but also resulted from metabolism interruption by high-stress intensity or from an adaptive response with special physiological function. The increased levels of proline, under salt stress, have been reported in two wheat cultivars (Khatkar and Kuhad, 2000). It was suggested that proline accumulation may be caused by increased proteolysis or by decreased protein synthesis.…”

The effect of salt stress оn some physiological parameters in pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) was studied under controlled conditions. The plants were treated with the solutions of 50 mM NaCl, 50 mM Na 2 So 4 , 100 mM NaCl and 100 mM Na 2 So 4 , starting at the appearance of first trifoliate leaf unfolded. Ground water was used for irrigation as the control. It was established that the applied doses of both salt types caused stress on the young pigeon pea plants, which found expression in the suppression of growth, photosynthetic pigment. The amount of proline in the tissues of the salt-treated plants was increased.

“…Proline recorded the highest values of all amino acids in S. linifolium (16.6%) and C. officinalis (13.81%). In higher plants, proline was stored as a nontoxic defensive osmolyte under saline conditions and in response to environmental stresses (Khatkar & Kuhad, 2000). Aspartic acid, glutamic acid, alanine and leucine were common and ranged (12-13%), (10-14%), (7-11%) and (6-8%) of total amino acids percentage in the three tested species, respectively.…”

The present study investigated the biochemical composition of three seaweeds; Ulva fasciata (Chlorophyta), Sargassum linifolium (Phaeophyta) and Corallina officinalis (Rhodophyta). Total chlorophyll content was maximum in U. fasciata (34.06mg/g dry wt.) while carotenoid content was the highest in C. officinalis (3.8 mg/g dry wt.). The uppermost level of carbohydrates was (27.98% of dry wt.) in C. officinalis and proteins were maximum (14.89%) in S. linifolium. Aspartic, glutamic, alanine, leucine and proline were common amino acids in the three tested species. The polyunsaturated ω6 and ω3 essential fatty acids were recorded in S. linifolium (3.28%) and in U. fasciata (3.18%). The results showed that U. fasciata contained the highest amounts of lipids (2.96%), phenols (11.95mgGA/g dry wt.), flavonoid (7.04 mgCA/g dry wt.) and ascorbic acid (4.11mg/100g), respectively. β-Carotene was maximum (3940.12 IU/100 g) in C. officinalis. DPPH antioxidant activities were the highest in U. fasciata (81.3%) followed by S. linifolium (79.8%) then C. officinalis (72.6%). Among the 12 analyzed minerals, most of them were high in S. linifolium in which ion quotient ratio was the smallest (0.343). Since these algal species are common in the Egyptian coastal waters, their biochemical composition and antioxidant activities made them promising candidates for nutritional, pharmaceutical and medicinal applications.Keywords: seaweeds; biochemical composition; elemental analysis; antioxidant activity.Practical Application: Seeking for new supplies for food, feed, drugs and treatments Macroalgae (seaweeds) proved to be safe, economic and eco-friendly natural sources for multi-purpose applications.
