摘要

Alkaline stress is one of the most important environmental factors limiting the production of crops. The current research was conducted in a completely randomized design to investigate the alleviative role of 24-epibrassinolide (24-EBR) seed priming on biochemical and physiological parameters of Lallemantia iberica Spp plant under 48 h of simulation with 15 mM Na2CO3 (pH = 10.84). The 24-EBR significantly moderated the harmful effects of high pH imposition through diminishing the generation of MDA (43% and 55%), H2O2 (51% and 68%), proline (41% and 22%), and soluble sugar (31% and 39%) contents in leaves and roots, respectively. The hormonal presoaking also led to the higher activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) under exposure to alkaline stress. The findings provide evidence of 24-EBR as a versatile and valuable tool to improve plant resilience against alkaline stress due to the neutralization of oxygen-free radicals and improvement of antioxidant status. The study also shares information regarding biochemical insights to improve soil alkaline stress tolerance in dragonhead plants by alleviating ROS accumulation damage.
