Growth-stimulating and anti-stress activity of lipids of the seed of Zygophyllum oxianum Boriss.under salt stress

Abstract

It is known that the lipid components of plant cells play an important role in protecting plants from the influence of stress factors. Changes in membrane lipids in response to salinity are observed in many plant species, including halophytes and glycophytes. Lipid messenger molecules are involved in many important processes of the adaptive mechanism that allow plants to cope with salt stress. The aim of the work was the studying of the lipids of the seeds of the plant Zygophyllum oxianum Boriss. (family of Zygophyllaceae) and their effect on the growth of wheat shoots grown under saline conditions, as well as the effect of plant lipids on the lipid composition of wheat seedlings. As a result of the study, we found that pre-sowing treatment of wheat and cucumber seeds with neutral components of Zygophyllum moxianum seed lipids in low doses stimulates the growth and development of seedlings of these crops under normal conditions and under the influence of salt stress, promotes the formation of total lipids and the biosynthesis of eicosatrienoic and arachidonic acids in wheat seedlings grown under saline conditions.
