    Effects of titanium dioxide nanoparticles against salt and heat stress in safflower cultivars

    Dinler, Burcu Seckin; Cetinkaya, Hatice; Koc, Fatma Nur; Gül, Volkan; Sefaoğlu, Fırat

    This study aimed to determine the effects of titanium dioxide nanoparticle (TiO2NP) pretreatment on seeds of different safflower cultivars (Balci, Dinçer) under salt and heat stresses. The apparent effects on stress markers (malondialdehyde (MDA), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and superoxide radical (O2 •⁻) content), as well as changes in germination and physiological parameters (radicle and plumula weight and length measurements), were investigated. TiO2NP pretreatment caused an increase in radicle length and plumula fresh weight for the Balci cultivar under salinity. Furthermore, plumula dry weight was alleviated with TiO2NP pretreatment for both cultivars. TiO2NP pretreatment improved plumula dry and fresh weights for both cultivars under heat stress. In addition, MDA content decreased for both cultivars under heat stress but only for Balci under salt stress. The amount of O2 •⁻ radicals positively affected only the radicle for both cultivars under heat stress. This study is the first to document the alleviation of salt stress damage for the Balci safflower cultivar, and protection for both Balci and Dinçer cultivars under heat stress, using 200 ppm TiO2NP pretreatment.

    Ozone and cold plasma: Emerging oxidation technologies for inactivation of enzymes in fruits, vegetables, and fruit juices

    Mayookha, V. P.; Pandiselvam, R.; Kothakota, Anjineyulu; Ishwarya, S. Padma; Khanashyam, Anandu Chandra; Kutlu, Naciye; Rifna, E. J.; Kumar, Manoj; Panesar, Parmjit S.; El-Maksoud, Ahmed A. Abd

    Inactivation of deteriorative enzymes preserves the quality of fruits and vegetables and extends the shelf-life of fruit juices. Ozonation and cold plasma treatment are recent additions to the thermal and non-thermal methods for enzyme inactivation. However, these techniques stand out in their effectiveness and versatility for the treatment of a wide range of fruits and vegetables. This article appraises the mode of action and applications of ozone and cold plasma for the inactivation of enzymes in fruits, vegetables, and fruit juices. Further, a comprehensive discussion is presented on the influential parameters of enzyme inactivation effectiveness of ozonation and cold plasma processing. Besides, the latter sections of this article highlight the challenges that impose hurdles in the commercial applications of these unconventional techniques and the way forward in improving their efficacy and industrial applications.

    Comparative analysis of defence response of soybean by seed soaking in gibberellic acid to salinity

    Dinler, Burcu Seckin; Gul, Volkan

    The present study was conducted to determine the effects of gibberellic acid (GA3) presoaking of soybean (Glycine max L.) seeds on the biomass yield, regulation of reactive oxygen species and some antioxidant enzyme activities in radicle, hypocotyl and cotyledons under salinity. Within this scope, the seeds were subjected to priming with 150 ppm GA3 for 6 h at room temperature. Then, 150 mM NaCl was added in a group and the control was not primed with GA3. The results clearly revealed that salt stress caused a slight induction of biomass yield of radicle and hypocotyl, photosynthetic pigments in cotyledon, reactive oxygen species content in all organs. Moreover, GA3 pretreatment alleviated salt-induced oxidative damage by maintaining superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase and glutathione reductase enzyme activities in soybean plants. This study firstly elucidates the effects of GA3 priming on the comparative response mechanisms to salinity with different organs of soybean plants.

    THE COOPERATION BETWEEN METHYL JASMONATE AND SALICYLIC ACID TO PROTECT SOYBEAN (GLYCINE MAX L.) FROM SALINITY

    Seckin-Dinler, Burcu; Tasci, Eda; Sarisoy, Ufkun; Gul, Volkan

    Methyl jasmonate (MeJA), a methyl ester of jasmonic acid, is a naturally produced phytohormone that regulates plant growth and development by maintaining the morphologic, physiological, and biochemical development of plants. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of methyl jasmonate and endogenous salicylic acid on the stimulation and scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under salt stress in soybean roots and leaves. Soybean leaves were sprayed with 0.5 mu M methyl jasmonate for 4 days, followed by exposure to 200 mM NaCl. Foliar application of MeJA did not change the leaf area; however, it increased the relative water content (RWC), chlorophyll content, relative electrolyte leakage (REL), and root and shoot fresh weight, and it lessened the stress-induced oxidative damage by decreasing the levels of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), malondialdehyde (MDA). Curiously, catalase (CAT) enzyme and isoenzyme activity, and also endogenous salicylic acid (SA) were decreased by MeJA treatment. As a result, this study firstly determined that MeJA treatment improved the soybean performance under salinity by acting role as an antioxidant and cooperating with SA.
