Foliar spray of triacontanol improves growth by alleviating oxidative damage in coriander under salinity

Effect of exogenous foliar spray of triacontanol (TRIA) on coriander (Coriamdrum sativum L.) under salt stress revealed that salinity stress caused a few morphological and physiological changes including decrease in root and shoot dry weight. Hydrogen peroxide content and levels of lipid peroxidation in terms of malondialdehyde content increased in leaves under salt stress. Salt stress also induced antioxidant enzymes activities such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, and peroxidase. Foliar spray of 10 µM TRIA was more effective in reducing the adverse effects of salt stress on coriander through modulating activities of antioxidant enzymes.
