The effects of salicylic acid on pigment contents in ultraviolet radiation stressed pepper plants

Abstract: Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) plants were sprayed with salicylic acid (SA) and treated with ultraviolet radiation UV-A (320-390 nm), UV-B (312 nm), and UV-C (254 nm) of 6.1, 5.8, and 5.7 W m -2 , respectively. UV significantly reduced contents of chlorophyll (Chl) a and b, and carotenoids (Car). SA treatment moderated Chl and Car reduction in plants treated with UV-B and UV-C. The quantity of antocyanins, flavonoids, rutin, and UV-absorbing compounds in plants that were treated with UV-B, UV-C, and SA were signi… Show more

“…Carotenoids decreased significantly by 28 % only 24 h after UV-c exposure, then tended to increase and almost reached the respective control value at the last measurement point. together with the nucleic acids, aminoacids, proteins, and lipids, leaf pigments are also considered as a target site for UV light (12), and our results are in accordance with the decrease of leaf pigments reported in other studies (19,22). Further, carotenoids (tocopherols and β-carotene) also take part in RoS quenching (2) and the time-dependent rise of these pigments in UV-c irradiated plants showed that probably pea cells switched on defence mechanism/s to cope with the negative stress consequences.…”

“…Salicylic acid (SA) has various physiological functions including induction of plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses (Mauch-Mani and Métraux 1998, Metwally et al 2003, He et al 2005, Mahdavian et al 2008. It has been reported that SA ameliorates the damaging effects of salinity by sustaining photosynthetic and transpiration rate and content of K + (El-Tayeb 2005, Arfan et al 2007, Stevens et al 2006.…”

“…Ervin et al (2004) found that exogenous SA application alleviated the damaging effects induced by UV-B radiation in Kentucky bluegrass. SA stimulates photosynthetic machinery by increasing the content of chlorophyll in UV-stressed plants (Mahdavian et al, 2008). Stratmann (2003) reported that UV radiation may influence JA levels and lead to an overlap in gene expression caused by UV-B and herbivory.…”
