Oilseed plant, Brassica napus L. seedlings grown in hydroponic condition with different concentrations of Pb were treated with salicylic acid (SA) to investigate the role of exogenous salicylic acid in alleviating lead toxicity on biochemical and physiological activities of the plant. The results showed that application of different concentrations of Pb increased soluble sugars and reduced carbohydrate levels significantly in roots and shoots of the plants. The stress induced by application of Pb triggered significant inhibitory effects on growth and chlorophyll synthesis induced on the production of protein and proline and enhanced the levels of antioxidant activity. Salicylic acid (SA) treated plants showed alleviation increasing total dry mass, leaf area, shoot and root length as well as leaf total chlorophyll content in responses to Pb stress. Results revealed the importance of salicylic acid (SA) activity in enabling plants to reduce the soluble sugars and increase of insoluble sugar in heavy -metal-stressed plants. The content of proline and proteins were also reduced in plants were treated with salicylic acid. Our data provide evidence that salicylic acid treatment decreased the activity of antioxidant enzymes in plants were exposed to different levels of Pb.

Tri-genomic Brassica napus L.wasdeveloped by the cross between Brassica napusand Brassica nigra. The crop is animportant source of vegetable seed oil in Pakistan,after cotton. The low oilseed rape yield is attributed to high temperature in the production zones. Interspecific hybridization using these two speciescan be helpful to produce heat resistant hybrids. On the other hand, it has been found that foliar application of different plant growth regulators can be used to reduce the heat stress in Brassica. The objectiveof this studywas to test the response of three different tri-genomic hybrids to high temperature stressat seedling stage. Seedlings were foliar sprayed with 0.13 mM salicylic acid (SA) prior to exposure tohigh temperatureat two true leaf stage. The plants were harvested after 30 days of sowing for growth and biochemical analysis. Plants ofV38 showed the highest values for all morphological traits and biochemical activities among the threehybrids. In general, plants exposed to the temperature stress exhibited a significant decline in growth, chlorophyll content and enzyme activity.Foliar application of SA significantly improved leaf and root biomass under heat stress.Further, antioxidativeenzyme activities significantly increased in response to SA either compared to control or to plants exposed to temperature stress.It is concluded thatapplication of salicylic acid elevated activity of antioxidative enzymes and was helpful in mitigating the detrimental effects of high temperature inoil seed rape.

The present research was designed to determine the effects of exogenous salicylic acid (SA), selenium (Se) and silicon (Si) on the resistance of canola (Brassica napus L. cv Okapi) seedlings to salt stress. Foliar application of SA (0.1 mM) in canola plants under drought stress for 25 days exhibited a significantly positive effect on shoot dry mass and raised the levels of total chlorophyll as well as boosting the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT). In addition, soil application of silicon (0.35 g Na2SiO3/kg soil) had ameliorative effects on canola root growth under drought. It is concluded that SA and Si enhanced the salt tolerance of canola by protecting the cell membrane against lipid peroxidation. However, the foliar application of Se (10 mg/l) had no ameliorative effects on canola growth and antioxidant capacity under drought stress, as could be judged by accumulation of malondialdehyde (MDA).

In this study the effect of foliar application of salicylic acid on the chlorophyll content, antioxidant enzymes activity, and the content of solute protein and proline were investigated in two canola varieties (Brassica napus L., cv ‘RGS’ and ‘Licord’) leaves during 0, 24, and 48 hours after salicylic acid treatment. The results showed that the content of total chlorophyll was decreased in ‘RGS’ cultivar during the experiment and this process was related with increasing of salicylic acid concentration. The activity of superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, and also lipid peroxidation were increased significantly after 48 hours compared with the first day. The results of catalase activity showed that, this trait was decreased 24 hours after salicylic acid treatment and this decrease was related with salicylic concentration. The content of protein in both cultivars slightly changed and plants treated with salicylic acid had more protein content, by contrast proline was greatly affected by salicylic acid treatment and its content was the highest 24 hours after treatment. According to the present findings the application of salicylic acid has useful effects on the biochemical traits of Brassica napus cultivars. Therefore it may be effective for the improvement of plant growth in cold regions.

Estimulation of autotrophy in in vitro plantlets could be achieved through changes in the culture medium, or by changing the traditional hermetic caps by one that could allow gas exchanges between the culture and the environment. Besides that, the use of lamps with distinct emission spectrum irradiaction has propitiated successful results. This work was carried out aiming to evaluate the either the combined or the single action of some factors that can induce autotrophy on in vitro A. andraeanum cv. Eidibel plantlets. 3 sucrose concentrations were used: 0, 15 and 60 mM and for each one, to kinds of flasks according to the cap ventilation: under (0.038 L.h-1) and without ventilation. Flasks were kept under cold light fluorescent lamps or under gro-lux lamps. At the end of the experiment showing the highest shoot dry mass treatment was 60 mM, under ventilation and gro-lux, and the treatment which accumulate root dry mass to a lesser extent were 0 mM with ventilation and cold light and 15 mM without ventilation and cold light. In average, treatments with higher sucrose content in the culture medium, that is, 60 mM, under gro-lux lamps, presented the highest chlorophyll a, b and total contents, than those under cold lamp. Steps of carbohydrates metabolism could be associated with the total soluble sugars (sucrose and reducing sugars) levels, highlighting the steps where nutrient requirements were higher, showing the role of the plantlets sink.
