Salinity of soil is a major abiotic stress limiting the crop production and growth of peppermint. The aim of study was assessment the plant growth regulators efficacy (salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), brassinosteroids (BRs), and non-application of hormone as control) on physiological traits of peppermint under salinity stress (0, 30, and 60 mM). The experiment was conducted using the completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications at a greenhouse in Varamin city, Iran. Results indicated that the salinity stress caused an increase in malondialdehyde and proline contents, activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase enzymes, and essential oil content while decreased total chlorophyll content and menthol percentage. In 60 mM salinity, we observed 20.10% decreases of total chlorophyll compared to the control treatment (free salinity). In the interaction effects of salinity and spraying, the highest MDA content was related to the non-application of plant growth regulators under 60 mM salinity (13.8 mol/g FW) and the lowest was the foliar application of SA under free salinity conditions (5.35 mol/g FW). The highest proline content was observed in the non-application of plant growth regulators under high level of salinity (60 mM) by 7.68 µmol/g FW, which had an increase of 73.5% compared to the control treatment. Finally, the application of growth regulators under salinity stress moderated the negative effects of salinity stress by increasing the synthesis of malondialdehyde, proline, and antioxidant enzymes.

An experiment was conducted based on a split plot arrangement in a randomized complete block design with three replicates during 2019-2020. Experimental factors included drought stress at three levels (50, 80, and 110 mm evaporation from evaporation pan Class A), cultivar at two levels (Titicaca and Q29), and organic acids at four levels (control, humic acid, amino acid, and a combination of humic and amino acids). Findings suggested that extreme drought stress resulted in the decreasing of 20.33% plant height, 30.19% of leaf area index while increasing of 78.69% malondialdehyde content as well as 38.12% of catalase and 31.26% of peroxidase enzymes activities. Titicaca cultivar had higher plant height, leaf area index and catalase contents in amounts of 3.32%, 9.98% and 13.38% as compared with Q29. Applying organic compounds improved growth and biochemical properties of quinoa plants with the maximum positive effect in plants treated with a combination of humic and amino acids. As well as the using of these compounds decreased the negative effects of drought stress. Application of humic and amino acids seems to improve vegetative parameters of quinoa plants under both normal and drought stress conditions though increasing antioxidant enzyme activities and regulation of abscisic acid hormone.
