Summary: | The effect of salicylic acid (SA) on the reaction of cucumber plants (
Cucumis sativus
L.) on the effect of low positive temperatures has been studied. It was found that treatment with SA promotes a decrease in the release of electrolytes from the tissues of cotyledonous leaves of seedlings exposed to subdamaging (12°C) and damaging (4°C) temperatures. In the leaves of seedlings treated with SA and exposed to cold, a higher activity of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and guaiacol-specific peroxidase was recorded as well as an increase in the accumulation of transcripts of the genes encoding them (
CuZnSOD
and
CAT
) compared to the control variant (without SA treatment). Under the action of low temperatures (12 and 4°C) on seedlings, SA also reduced the formation of one of the end products of lipid peroxidation, malondialdehyde, in seedling leaves. It was concluded that SA has a protective effect on cucumber seedlings when exposed to low positive temperatures, which is expressed in the activation of antioxidant enzymes and a decrease in the level of oxidative stress. |
