    The protective effect of exogenous salicylic and gallic acids ameliorates the adverse effects of ionizing radiation stress in wheat seedlings by modulating the antioxidant defence system

    Plant growth regulatory substances play a significant role in maintaining developmental and physiological processes in plants under abiotic stress. Apart from traditional plant hormones, the phenolic acids, salicylic acid (SA) and gallic acid (GaA), are emerging players with pivotal roles in alleviating various environmental perturbations. The present study compared the stress alleviation effect of these two phenolic acids in wheat (Triticum aestivum L. ?Gönen-98?) seedling whose seeds were used in this study pre-treated with increasing doses of gamma irradiation (IR, 100 > 400 Gy). Leaves from seedlings hydroponically grown for 10 days in medium containing 100 ?mol/l SA and GaA were used in the measurements and determinations. Accordingly, exogenous treatment with SA and GaA significantly improved plant growth and photosynthetic activity and regulated stress-induced osmolyte accumulation against ?-irradiation. Treatments also led to significant reductions in TBARS and H2O2 contents. Antioxidant enzyme activities were further stimulated by SA and GaA treatment in comparison to IR alone. The phenolic pool including phenolic acids and GSH content in whole seedlings were promoted by IR and further SA and GaA applications. Contents in phenolic acids liberated from soluble free, soluble ester-conjugated and soluble glycoside-conjugated SA and GaA contents in roots and leaves increased following SA and GaA treatments alone in comparison to the control and IR groups. The present results indicate that SA and GaA can alleviate the ameliorative effects of IR, leading to further oxidative stress, and can improve the tolerance of stressed wheat seedlings by stimulating enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant defence system components. © 2021 Elsevier Masson SAS

    Salicylic acid priming before cadmium exposure increases wheat growth but does not uniformly reverse cadmium effects on membrane glycerolipids
    (Wiley, 2025) Colak, N.; Kurt-Celebi, A.; Roth, M. R.; Welti, R.; Torun, H.; Ayaz, F. A.
    Cadmium (Cd) is an abiotic stressor negatively affecting plant growth and reducing crop productivity. The effects of Cd (25 mu M) and of pre-soaking seeds with salicylic acid (SA) (500 mu M) on morphological, physiological, and glycerolipid changes in two cultivars of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. 'Tosunbey' and 'Cumhuriyet') were explored. Parameters measured were length, fresh and dry biomass, Cd concentration, osmotic potential (psi), lipid peroxidation, and polar lipid species in roots and leaves, as well as leaf chlorophyll a, carotenoids, and fv/fm. Fresh biomass of roots and leaves and leaf length were strongly depressed by Cd treatment compared to the control, but significantly increased with SA + Cd compared to Cd alone. Cd reduced leaf levels of chlorophyll a, carotenoids, and fv/fm, compared to controls. Treatment with SA + Cd increased pigment levels and fv/fm compared to Cd alone. Cd treatment led to a decrease in DW of total membrane lipids in leaves and depressed levels of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol and phosphatidic acid in leaves and roots of both cultivars. The effects of SA priming and SA + Cd treatment on lipid content and composition were cultivar-specific, suggesting that lipid metabolism may not be a primary target underlying SA remediation of the damaging effects of Cd on wheat growth and development.
