Abstract

A greenhouse experiment was conducted to study the effect of hormone application and salinity stress on the activity of antioxidant enzymes and the quality of essential oils of peppermint (Mentha piperita). The treatment consisted of three salinity levels (0, 30, and 60 mM NaCl) and foliar application of four different hormone treatments: control, jasmonic acid (60 mM), salicylic acid (100 mg L−1), and brassinosteroids (1 mM). The results show that salinity stress increased the activity of superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase, catalase, polyphenol oxidase, peroxidase, and glutathione S-transferase, as well as the levels of proline, malondialdehyde, hydrogen peroxide, and electrolyte leakage. Application of jasmonic acid to peppermint leaves remarkably increased antioxidant activity and proline content in salt-stressed samples compared to samples treated with NaCl alone. Seeds treated with 1 mM brassinosteroids in addition to 60 mM NaCl had higher polyphenol oxidase activity (0.34 U mg−1 protein) compared to samples that were only salt stressed. Application of jasmonic acid under saline conditions induced a signaling pathway that leads to increased antioxidant protection which could result in improved salt stress tolerance in peppermint by enhancing the detoxification of reactive oxygen species.
