Effects of Salicylic acid and Jasmonic acid on Hill Reaction and Photosynthetic Pigment (Dracocephalum Moldavica L.) in Different Levels of Drought Stress
Journal Title: International journal of Advanced Biological and Biomedical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 12
Abstract
Objective: In order to study the effect of drought stress, salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) foliar application on Hill reaction and photosynthetic pigments. Methods: Experiment was done as factorial on the basis of completely randomized design in 4 replications. Irrigation in 3 levels (FC, FC and FC), salicylic acid in 2 levels (0 and 0.5 mM) and jasmonic acid in 2 levels (0 and 50 µM). Results: The results indicated that, the effects drought stress, salicylic acid and jasmonic acid on Hill reaction, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, chlorophyll a+b, ‚-carotene and Xanthophyll were significant. Drough stress increased the content of ‚-carotene (1.83 ) and Xanthophyll (2.60 ). The 50 (µM) foliar application of jasmonate and salicylic acid under normal irrigation condition gained to maximum amounts of Hill reaction, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, chlorophyll a+b, ‚-carotene and xanthophyll. According to the results, exogenous salicylic acid and jasmonic acid application can improve drought tolerance in moldavian dragonhead (Dracocephalum moldavica L.).
