[Influence of abscisic acid and fluridone on the content of phytohormones and polyamines and the level of oxidative stress in plants of Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L. under salinity].

Abstract

The effect of abscisic acid (ABA) and fluridone on the content of endogenous phytohormones and free polyamines and the intensity of oxidative stress was studied in plants of Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L. under salinity. It was shown that the pretreatment of plant roots with 1 μM ABA, followed by the action of 300 mM NaCl, caused a protective effect and improved the physiological state of the plants, which was manifested in increased biomass and content of available cytokinins and reduced values of the indicators of oxidative stress. It was noted that the inhibitor fluridone reduced the effect of ABA and acted as a pro-oxidant.
