EXOGENOUS APPLICATION OF SALICYLIC ACID ENHANCES ANTIOXIDATIVE CAPACITY IN SALT STRESSED SUNFLOWER (HELIANTHUS ANNUUS L.) PLANTS
Abstract
Salicylic acid (SA) is a growth regulator that promotes growth of plants under stress and non-stress conditions. The present study was conducted to assess alteration in antioxidative capacity of salt stressed sunflower plants due to foliar applied SA. Two hybrid lines of sunflower (Hisun-33 and SF-187) were grown under non-saline (control) or saline (120 mM NaCl) conditions. Varying levels of salicylic acid (0
