An hydroponic culture was conducted to investigate the effect of saline stress on the essential oil and fatty acid composition of Tunisian coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) roots. Ten days old coriander seedlings were treated during 3 weeks with different NaCl concentrations (0, 25, 50 and 75 mM). Roots volatile components and fatty acids were analyzed. The essential oil yield was 0.06% in the control, on the basis of dry matter weight, and did not changed at low concentration (25 mM), while it increased significantly with increasing NaCl concentrations to reach 0.12 and 0.21% at 50 and 75 mM NaCl, respectively. The major volatile component was (E)-2-dodecenal with 52% of total essential oil constituents, followed by decanal, dodecanal, (E)-2-tridecenal and (E)-2-dodecenal. Further, the amount of these compounds was affected differently by the NaCl level. Total fatty acid amount of coriander roots increased significantly only with 50 and 75 mM NaCl. Three major fatty acids: linoleic (43%), oleic (25.5%) and palmitic (21.6%) were identified. Linoleic acid amount remains unchanged at 25 mM, while it increased with raising NaCl concentrations. However, oleic acid amount decreased only at 25 mM and no effect was observed at 50 and 75 mM. Fatty acid percentages were differently affected by salt. The oleic/linoleic ratio was reduced with raising NaCl concentrations.

Reaumuria vermiculata (L.), a perennial dwarf shrub in the family of Tamaricaceae, is a salt-secreting xero-halophyte found widely in arid areas of Tunisia. In the present study, physiological attributes of R. vermiculata were investigated under salt stress. Four-month-old plants were subjected to various salinity levels (0, 100, 200, 300, 400 or 600 mM NaCl) for 30 days under greenhouse conditions. Results showed that plants grew optimally when treated with standard nutrient solution without NaCl supply. However, increasing osmolality of nutrient solutions caused a significant reduction in biomass production and relative growth rate. This reduction was more pronounced in roots than in shoots. In addition, this species was able to maintain its shoot water content at 30% of the control even when subjected to the highest salt level, whereas root water content seemed to be unaffected by salt. Shoot water potential declined significantly as osmotic potential of watering solutions was lowered and the more negative values were reached at 600 mM NaCl (-3.4 MPa). Concentrations of Na⁺ and Cl⁻ in the shoots of R. vermiculata were markedly increased with increasing osmolality of nutrient solutions, whereas concentration of K⁺ was not affected by NaCl supply. Salt excretion is an efficient mechanism of Na⁺ exclusion from the shoots of this species exhibiting high K⁺/Na⁺ selectivity ratio over a wide range of NaCl salinity. Proline accumulation in shoots was significantly increased with increase in salt level and may play a role in osmoregulation.

The foliage of woody plants, Artemisia herba alba (ART), Eucalyptus globulus (EUC), Pistacia lentiscus (PIS), Rosmarinus officinalis (ROS) and Thymus capitatus (THY), growing in central Tunisia was analysed for contents of nutrients and phytocompounds, including essential oils (EOs) and tannins. PIS and THY were highest in neutral detergent fibre and condensed tannins, respectively. EUC had the highest levels of total phenols, total tannins and oxalates. The concentration of EOs was highest in ROS and THY (26.59 ml · kg–1 dry matter (DM) vs 14.14 ml · kg–1 of DM, respectively). The EOs profiles differed among all the plant species. ROS and EUC EOs were composed mainly of 1,8-cineole (27.86% and 50.19%, respectively) while ART’s EOs were dominated by camphor (16.28%) and chrysanthenone (14.78%). Carvacrol (44.24%) was the chemotype of THY EOs. The major compound of PIS EOs was α-pinene (12.82%). Biological assay showed that tannins affect the nutritive value of these plants. With the exception of THY, the association of polyethylene glycol to substrates incubated in calibrated syringes resulted in a major increase of gas production (+21% to +136%). Differences in the profiles of EOs extracted from the five woody species suggest that these EOs could differ in their impact on digestion and performance of ruminants.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of NaCl-salinity on the physiological attributes in common reed, Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex Steudel. Plants grew optimally under salinity treatment with standard nutrient solution without added salt and at NaCl concentrations up to 100 mM. Applied for 21 days, NaCl-salinity (300 and 500 mM) caused a significant reduction in growth allocation of all different tissues of P. australis. Shoot growth of reed plants displayed a highly significant correlation with plant–water relations and photosynthetic parameters. The net photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance of reed plants treated with NaCl-salinity at varying osmotic potential (ψπ) of nutrient solutions were positively correlated, and the former variable also had a strong positive relationship with transpiration rate. Leaf water potential and ψπ followed similar trends and declined significantly as ψπ of watering solutions was lowered. The increase in total inorganic nutrients resulting from increased Na⁺ and Cl⁻ in all tissues and K⁺, Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ concentrations were maintained even at the most extreme salt concentration. Common reed exhibited high K⁺/Na⁺ and Ca²⁺/Na⁺ selectivity ratios over a wide range of salinities under NaCl-salinity. These findings suggest that reed plants were able to adapt well to high salinities by lowering their leaf ψπ and the adjustment of osmotically active solutes in the leaves.

Germination studies of Cymbopogon schoenanthus (Poaceae) distributed along southern Tunisia were carried out to assess the effects of salinity. A preliminary experiment showed 30°C as the optimum germination temperature for seeds of this species. After that, seed germination was studied at different salinity levels. Our results revealed a decrease in germination percentage with increasing salinity. Germination rate, however, was maintained up to 200 mM NaCl and drastically declined at 300 mM NaCl.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of drought stress induced by polyethylene glycol6000 in wild jujube, Ziziphus lotus. One-month-old, hydroponically grown seedlings were subjected to three treatments, i.e. normal watering (-0.2 MPa), moderate (-1.2 MPa) and severe (-2.1 MPa) drought stress for 14 days under controlled climatic conditions. Plant growth was markedly reduced with increasing osmotic stress. The shoot water potential (Ψw) and leaf relative water content followed similar patterns and significantly decreased with increasing osmolality of solutions. As a consequence of drought, contents in proline and soluble sugars were found to be more elevated in leaves than in roots. The level of lipid peroxidation in terms of malonyldialdehyde contents increased in both leaves and roots of drought-stressed plants. Wild jujube displayed higher activities of antioxidant enzymes in the roots than in the leaves. Catalase and guaiacol peroxidase activities increased significantly in drought-stressed roots, whereas ascorbate peroxidase activity showed a slight decline with no significant changes. These findings suggest that Z. lotus was able to adapt to severe drought stress by accumulation of compatible solutes and by activation of free radical-scavenging enzymes. Overall, defence mechanisms in Z. lotus against oxidative stress are organized differently in plant tissues, with higher solute accumulation in leaves and increased activity of antioxidants in roots, during drought stress.
