Abstract
Salicylic acid (SA) and chitosan (CH) play an important role in the defense mechanism of plants by increasing secondary metabolite production in plants. In this study, their effects on volatile oil composition, phenolics, and antioxidant activity of Achillea gypsicola were investigated. Treatments included control (water + ethanol), 0.5-, 2-, and 8-mM SA, and 2, 4, and 8 g L−1 CH. The process is completely randomized with four replications, with two harvests between 2021 and 2022. As a result, 4 g L−1 CH significantly increased 1,8-cineole and borneol production. The highest total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid (TFC) were obtained from the 8 g L−1 CH treatment. LC–MS/MS analysis revealed a 2-fold increase in chlorogenic acid, 1.01-fold increase in gallic acid, and 0.56-fold increase in protocatechuic acid from 4 and 8 g L−1 CH treatments. Strong positive correlations were found between DPPH radical scavenging assay and iron ions chelating assay (0.803**), TFC (0.556**), and TPC (0.562**).
水杨酸(SA)和壳聚糖(CH)通过增加植物次生代谢产物的产生,在植物防御中发挥重要作用。本研究考察了它们对水蛭挥发油成分、酚类物质和抗氧化活性的影响。处理包括对照、0.5、2和8 mm SA和对照2、4和8 g L-1 CH。该试验完全随机设置,4个重复,在2021 - 2022年间两次收获。特别是4 g L-1 CH显著提高了1,8-桉叶脑和冰片脑的产量。总酚(TPC)和总黄酮(TFC)以8 g L-1 CH处理最高。LC-MS/MS分析显示,4和8 g L-1 CH处理的绿原酸增加2倍,没食子酸增加1.01倍,原儿茶酸增加0.56倍。DPPH自由基清除能力与铁离子螯合能力(0.803 **)、TFC(0.556 **)、TPC(0.562 **)呈显著正相关。
