ملخص المقالة :
به‌منظور بررسی اثرات شوری و ورمیکمپوست بر میزان فعالیت آنزیم‌های آنتی‌کسیدان و رنگیزه‌های فتوسنتزی گیاه گاوزبان اروپایی (Borago officinalis L.) آزمایشی به‌صورت فاکتوریل در قالب طرح کاملا تصادفی با چهار تکرار در سال 1394 اجرا شد. تیمارها شامل چهار سطح ورمیکمپوست (صفر، 5، 10 و 15 درصد وزنی-وزنی) و چهار سطح شوری (صفر (شاهد)، 4، 8 و 12 دسی‌زیمنس بر متر کلریدسدیم) بود. نتایج حاصل از تجزیه واریانس نشان داد که اثر متقابل تنش شوری و ورمیکمپوست بر میزان فعالیت آنزیم‌های سوپراکسید دیسموتاز، آسکوربات پراکسیداز، گلوتاتیون پراکسیداز، کاتالاز و کلروفیل کل معنی‌د‌ار بود. سایر نتایج مشخص ساخت که با افزایش شوری میزان فعالیت آنزیم‌های آنتی‌اکسیدان افزایش و مقادیر رنگیزه‌های فتوسنتزی کاهش یافت. همچنین استفاده از کود ورمیکمپوست نسبت به شاهد به‌طور معنی‌داری میزان کلروفیل a، کلروفیل bو کاروتنوئیدها را افزایش داد. نتایج مقایسه میانگین برهمکنش تنش شوری و ورمیکمپوست نشان داد که حداکثر میزان فعالیت آنزیم‌های آنتی‌اکسیدان توسط تیمار 15% وزنی ورمیکمپوست در سطح شوری 12 دسی‌زیمنس بر متر کلریدسدیم حاصل شد. بنابراین، استفاده از ورمیکمپوست به‌عنوان یک کود آلی، علاوه بر افزایش میزان فعالیت آنزیم‌های آنتی‌اکسیدان و مقادیر رنگیزه‌های فتوسنتزی، می‌تواند راهکار مناسبی برای کاهش اثرهای منفی ناشی از غلظت زیاد یون‌های سدیم و کلر در خاک‌ها بر رشد گاوزبان اروپایی باشد.
