“…The application of C. oxyacantha extract treatment to tomato plants under salt stress has been shown to neutralize the NaCl effect by increasing the physiological parameters of the plants (length and weight). Our results agreed with previous studies by Ceccarini et al (2019) [ 16 ], which suggested the beneficial effects of the use of polyphenol-enriched extracts as plant biostimulants on corn plant growth parameters, such as height and fresh weight. The authors reported that spelt husk extracts contain three hydroxycinnamic acids (p-coumaric, caffeic, and ferulic acids) in addition to two simple phenolic compounds (thep-hydroxybenzoic and syringic acids) that may lead to a significant increase in shoot growth and height compared to plants treated with NaCl only.…”

Salinity is a severe abiotic problem that has harmful impacts on agriculture. Recently, biostimulants were defined as bioprotectant materials that promote plant growth and improve productivity under various stress conditions. In this study, we investigated the effect of Crataegus oxyacantha extract as a biostimulant on tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum) grown under salt stress. Concentrations of 20 mg/L, 30 mg/L, and 70 mg/L of C. oxyacantha extract were applied to tomato plants that were grown under salt stress. The results indicated that plants that were treated with C. oxyacantha extract had a higher ability to tolerate salt stress, as demonstrated by a significant (p < 0.05) increase in plant growth and photosynthetic pigment contents, in addition to a significant increase in tomato soluble sugars and amino acids compared to the control plants. In the stressed tomato plants, malondialdehyde increased and then decreased significantly with the different concentrations of C. oxyacantha extract. Furthermore, there was a significant improvement in the antioxidant enzyme activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione S-transferase (GST), and glutathione reductase (GR) in the stressed plants, especially after treatment with 70 mg/L of the extract. Overall, our results suggest that C. oxyacantha extract could be a promising biostimulant for treating tomato plants under salinity stress.

“…Epicatechin, catechin, oleuropein, salicylic acid, and rutin acid were also identified as minor phenolic compounds. Similar to our findings, Ceccarini et al (2019) have found ρ‐coumaric acid, ferulic acid, caffeic acid, and vanillin among the major phenolic compounds of maize husk. Likewise, epicatechin has been reported in Nigerian maize husk (Duru, 2020).…”

“…The increase of salt concentration in the root zone makes water less available to plants (Shihab and Hamza, 2020). This leads to changes in water relations in plant cells (García-Caparrós and Lao, 2018) and accumulation of ions (predominantly Na + and/or Cl -) at toxic levels (Hossain et al, 2015;Rady et al, 2018), which results in nutritional problems (Ceccarini et al, 2019;Shahzad et al, 2019;Talhouni et al, 2019).…”

Salinity is one of the striking problems in agricultural production in many parts of the world. Seed germination and seedling growth are two critical stages for the establishment of crops generally most sensitive to salt stress. The present study aimed at evaluating the germination and initial growth of pepper seedlings produced from seeds under different soaking times in NaCl solutions. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design, in a 2 × 4 × 5 factorial scheme using two pepper species (Capsicum chinense Jacq. and Capsicum frutescens L.), four levels of electrical conductivity (EC) of solutions (1.5, 3.0, 4.5, and 6.0 dS m-1) and five times of seed soaking in the solutions (2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 h), with three replications. The traits evaluated were the number of germinated seedlings, percentage of germination, seedling height, and root length. The results showed that C. frutescens pepper was more tolerant to different times of soaking in saline solutions prepared with NaCl compared to C. chinense. Thus, the results suggest that depending on the pepper species, it is recommended to use seeds primed in saline solutions with salinity levels compatible with those under field conditions (in saline soils and/or irrigation with saline waters).
