Abstract
Salicylic acid (SA) and ferulic acid (FA) are considered phenolic compounds that act as elicitors due to their regulatory functions on plant growth, development, metabolic and physiological responses in plants. The aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of SA and FA on growth, fruit quality and synthesis of secondary metabolites in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum cultivar Santa Clara). The experiment was conducted in pots in a greenhouse. The application of SA and FA was performed at concentration of 1.0 mmol L-1 alone and in combination, with water treated plants as control. Exogenous application of SA and FA either alone or in combination (SA + FA) resulted in increases in biomass accumulation and chlorophyll contents in tomato plant; and soluble sugar, total polyphenol, flavonoids, lycopene and β-carotene contents in fruits. It was concluded that application of SA and FA resulted in higher production and concentration of secondary compounds in tomato.
期刊介绍：
Advances in Horticultural Science aims to provide a forum for original investigations in horticulture, viticulture and oliviculture. The journal publishes fully refereed papers which cover applied and theoretical approaches to the most recent studies of all areas of horticulture - fruit growing, vegetable growing, viticulture, floriculture, medicinal plants, ornamental gardening, garden and landscape architecture, in temperate, subtropical and tropical regions. Papers on horticultural aspects of agronomic, breeding, biotechnology, entomology, irrigation and plant stress physiology, plant nutrition, plant protection, plant pathology, and pre and post harvest physiology, are also welcomed. The journal scope is the promotion of a sustainable increase of the quantity and quality of horticultural products and the transfer of the new knowledge in the field. Papers should report original research, should be methodologically sound and of relevance to the international scientific community. AHS publishes three types of manuscripts: Full-length - short note - review papers. Papers are published in English.
