is a tree with various applications. Desertification and salinity are major constraints to crop productivity worldwide, especially in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, it is essential that plants alleviate and adapt to salt stress. Many physiological, pharmacological, and molecular strategies are employed by plants to lessen the effects of salinity stress. In this work, plants were grown under different salinity levels and treated with a foliar spray of seaweed extract to evaluate the fixed oil using GC/MS analysis, free proline and total soluble proteins using colorimetric methods, total phenolic content using Folin-Ciocalteu phenol reagent, total flavonoids using a spectrophotometric method, and antioxidant activity using the DPPH method. The study has shown that applying seaweed extract to plants grown under different salinity conditions improves seed oil yield, proline levels, soluble proteins, phenolic content, flavonoids, and antioxidant activity. As salinity increases, the oil yield decreases, but the levels of proline, phenols, flavonoids, and antioxidant activity rise. Seaweed extract application also reduces protein breakdown and boosts osmoprotectants. Salt stress decreases unsaturated fatty acids like oleic acid and increases saturated fatty acids like stearic acid. Overall, seaweed extract helps mitigate the adverse effects of salinity, enhancing oil yield and stress resistance in moringa trees.
是一种具有多种用途的树。荒漠化和盐碱化是全球作物生产力的主要制约因素,在沙特阿拉伯尤为如此。因此,植物缓解并适应盐胁迫至关重要。植物采用许多生理、药理和分子策略来减轻盐胁迫的影响。在这项工作中,将植物种植在不同盐度水平下,并用海藻提取物进行叶面喷施处理,以使用气相色谱/质谱分析法评估固定油,使用比色法评估游离脯氨酸和总可溶性蛋白,使用福林-西奥尔特酚试剂评估总酚含量,使用分光光度法评估总黄酮,使用DPPH法评估抗氧化活性。研究表明,将海藻提取物施用于在不同盐度条件下生长的植物可提高种子油产量、脯氨酸水平、可溶性蛋白、酚含量、黄酮和抗氧化活性。随着盐度增加,油产量下降,但脯氨酸、酚类、黄酮和抗氧化活性水平上升。施用海藻提取物还可减少蛋白质分解并增加渗透保护剂。盐胁迫会降低油酸等不饱和脂肪酸的含量,并增加硬脂酸等饱和脂肪酸的含量。总体而言,海藻提取物有助于减轻盐胁迫的不利影响,提高辣木树的油产量和抗逆性。
