ملخص المقالة :
شوری خاک یک مسئله محیطی جدی است که آثار منفی بر رشد و تولید گیاهان دارد. از سوی دیگر سالیسیلیک اسید نقش مهمی در جلوگیری از آسیب‌های اکسیداتیو در گیاهان دارد، که به واسطه سم‌زدایی رادیکال‌های سوپراکسید در نتیجه شوری تولید می‌شود. در این تحقیق اثر غلظت‌های مختلف سالیسیلیک اسید، کلرید سدیم و اثرات توأم سالیسیلیک اسید و کلرید سدیم بر پارامترهای مورفولوژیکی و بیوشیمیایی در گیاهان آفتابگردان مورد مطالعه قرار گرفت. کلرید سدیم با غلظت‌های 0، 25، 50، 75 و 100 میلی‌مولار کلرید سدیم و سالیسلیک اسید با غلظت‌های 0، 5/0، 1 و 5/1 میلی‌مولار در یک طرح کاملاً تصادفی به صورت فاکتوریل مورد استفاده قرار گرفتند. نتایج حاصل از این تحقیقات نشان داد که کلرید سدیم باعث کاهش رشد ساقه، ریشه، وزن تر و خشک، کلروفیل و کاروتنوئید می‌شود، در حالی که در گیاهان پیش تیمار شده با سالیسیلیک اسید این کاهش تعدیل شده است. از طرف دیگر افزایش مقدار آنتوسیانین، کلروفیل و کاروتنوئید نشان دهنده نقش سالیسیلیک اسید بر افزایش تحمل پذیری این گیاه در برابر تنش کلرید سدیم است. نتایج فوق پیشنهاد می‌کند که کاربرد سالیسیلیک اسید باعث افزایش تحمل‌پذیری گیاه در برابر تنش کلرید سدیم می شود.
