“…Similarly, salicylic acid induced a two-fold increase in proline content at the vegetative stage of tomato plants (Umebese et al, 2009). In accordance with our results, chickpea and cucumber seedlings treated with ellagic and ferulic acids has markedly enhanced proline accumulation (Abu El-Soud et al, 2013 andLi et al, 2013) Cell damage occurs in consequent of adverse environmental stimuli which disrupts the normal homeostasis of affected cells. Its deleterious effect can be monitored by tracing total antioxidant capacity and H 2 O 2 content as well as, estimating the end product of lipid peroxidation (MDA) (Rao et al, 1997 andHodges et al, 1999).…”

“…In this context, alleviation of oxidative stress by application of phenolic acids like ferulic and cinnamic acids is mediated by decreasing H 2 O 2 , MDA contents and increasing total antioxidant capacity of seedlings (Sun et al, 2012 andLi et al, 2013). In accordance with these results, ellagic acid was found to increase the total antioxidant capacity and decrease both lipid peroxidation and H 2 O 2 content of chickpea seedlings (Abu El-Soud et al, 2013). They revealed the enhanced antioxidant capacity to the marked increase in flavonoids content under ellagic acid treatments.…”

“…A number of reports are available that indicate an increased activity of POXs in response to phenolic compounds. For example, seedlings treated with ellagic, ferulic or cinnamic acids under both normal or abiotic stress conditions was found to significantly enhance POX activity (Li et al, 2011;Abu El-Soud et al, 2013 andSingh &Kaur, 2014). Also, we found that coumarin seed pretreatment caused obvious stimulation in the activities of both PAL and POX in wheat seedlings under salinity stress .…”

H IGHER plants produce many phytochemical constituents that not only play a pivotal role in plants producing them, but also affect their neighboring plant communities. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of fenugreek seed extract on the growth of faba bean (Vicia faba) and maize (Zea mays) seedlings. The allelochemical components of fenugreek seed extract were analysed and confirmed the abundance of vanillic, syringic, 4-hydroxycinnamic, sinapic, caffeic, salicylic and p-hydroxybenzoic, ferulic acids as well as coumarin. Fenugreek seed extract up to 1.0 % (w/v) efficiently enhanced the growth as well as the chlorophyll content of faba bean and maize seedlings. Furthermore, elevated levels of the amylolytic and proteolytic activities under these concentrations of fenugreek treatments were associated with a marked accumulation of soluble sugars and proteins. Moreover, the potentiality of fenugreek treatments to accumulate phenolic and flavonoid was associated with stimulation in the activities of phenylalanine ammonia lyase, peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase as well as a marked enhancement in total antioxidant capacity which would improve the plant antioxidant status. Concerning the membrane integrity, fenugreek treatments caused a pronounced retardation in both MDA and H 2 O 2 content. Our results elucidated the effect of fenugreek seed extract on the growth and some physiological behaviors of both faba bean and maize seedlings.

“…Exogenous application of antioxidants has been proved to be useful in the amelioration of salt stress by scavenging the free radicals produced under stressful environment and protect the organism from different effects of stresses (Athar et al 2008(Athar et al , 2009El-Soud et al 2013;Khan et al 2013). Among different antioxidants, ellagic acid (EA) appeared one of the best to scavenge the ROS due to its polyphenolic characteristics.…”

“…However, EA has also other antioxidant roles such as binding to DNA, inhibition of the production of ROS and protection of DNA from alkylating injury (Cozzi et al 1995). In plants, pretreatment of chickpea seeds with EA increased the resistance against osmotic stress (El-Soud et al 2013).…”

Salinity stress is limiting growth and productivity of plants in many areas of the world. Plants adopted different strategies to minimize the effect of salt stress. A pot experiment was conducted to investigate the morphological and physiological changes produced in Canola (Brassica napus) by exogenous application of ellagic acid (EA) under saline conditions. EA is an antioxidant, expected to reduce the effect of salinity stress. The seeds of two canola cultivars, Rainbow and Oscar, were soaked for 6 h with different concentrations of EA (0, 55 and 110 µg/ml). The soaked seeds were sown in small pots. Salt stress was imposed on the plants by applying NaCl solutions of different concentrations (0, 60 and 120 mM) and the duration of stress was for four weeks. Salinity stress reduced seed germination and disturbed the morphological and physiological attributes of B. napus. Application of EA as seed soaking reduced the effect of salinity and enhanced the growth of plants. Overall, we could confirm a significant role of EA by inducing salinity tolerance in B. napus.

Chemical seed priming alleviates salinity stress and improves Sulla carnosa germination in the saline depression of Tunisia

In the saline depressions (Sebkhas) of Tunisia, Sulla carnosa expresses anarchic distribution, sometimes in association with halophytes sometimes individually. In order to explain this distribution, we investigated the effects of salinity on seed germination, the osmotic and toxic limiting factors, and the importance of some stimulating agents (priming agents) in the improvement of the tolerance to salinity at the germinating stage. A study was conducted on seeds harvested from the natural biotope Sebkha d'El Kelbia (35°50′34″N, 10°16′18″E), and an increasing concentration of NaCl (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 g L−1) was applied. Some priming agents were used to propose efficient, rapid, and low‐cost tools to improve the seed germination and tolerance of Sulla carnosa (Desf.) in saline depression. Salinity stress significantly decreased germination capacity and rate and delayed its initiation and maximum. Until 15‐g L−1 NaCl, the most limiting factor of seed germination is the osmotic effect. At 20‐g L−1 NaCl, the toxic effect dominates, and germination is irreversibly inhibited. Some priming agents have shown their efficiency in improving the germination capacity at 10‐g L−1 NaCl and conferring a salt tolerance of up to 15‐g L−1 NaCl.
