The effects of two sodium salts on growth, fatty acids, and essential oil compositions were investigated in a medicinal and aromatic plant, Ocimum basilicum cultivated in hydroponic medium. Plants were subjected to an equimolar concentration of Na2SO4 (25 mM) and NaCl (50 mM) for 15 days. Our results showed that leaf growth rate was more depressed by 25 mM Na2SO4 than by 50 mM NaCl. The total fatty acid contents did not show any change in plants. a-Linolenic, palmitic, and linoleic acids were the major fatty acids. The identification of basil leaf fatty acids has not been previously studied and this work revealed the predominance of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Under both salts, leaf fatty acid composition remained unchanged. Regarding the essential oil yield, it decreased significantly by 28 % under 25 mM Na2SO4 and showed an increase by 27 % under 50 mM NaCl. The major volatile compound in leaves was linalool with 34.3 % of total essential oil constituents, followed by eugenol (19.8 %), 1.8-cineole (14.4 %) and methyl eugenol (5.2 %). Further, levels of eugenol and methyl eugenol were most modulated by salt, and the negative correlation between these two compounds reflects the stimulation of O-methyltransferase activity under both salts.
The effects of different sodium salts on some physiological parameters and antioxidant responses were investigated in a medicinal and aromatic plant, Ocimum basilicum L. (cultivar Fine). Plants were subjected to an equimolar concentration of Na₂SO₄ (25 mM) and NaCl (50 mM) for 15 and 30 days. Growth, oxidative stress parameters [electrolyte leakage, peroxidation, and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) concentration], antioxidant enzyme activities [ascorbate peroxidase (APX, EC 1.11.1.11), glutathione reductase (GR, EC 1.6.4.2), and peroxidases (POD, EC 1.11.1.7)], as well as antioxidant molecules [ascorbate and glutathione] were determined. The two salts affected leaf growth rates to the same extent, after 15 or 30 days of treatment, indicating a similar effect of Na₂SO₄ and NaCl salinity on growth, even if different (enzymatic and non-enzymatic) antioxidant mechanisms were involved in H₂O₂ detoxification. However, under both salts, the efficiency of the antioxidant metabolism seemed to be sufficient to avoid the deleterious effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Indeed, both ion leakage and peroxidation did not change under either Na₂SO₄ or NaCl salinity. As a whole, these data suggest that a cooperative process between the antioxidant systems is important for the tolerance of Ocimum basilicum L., cv. Fine to Na₂SO₄ and NaCl salinity.
Basil (Ocimum basilicum L., cultivar Genovese) plants were grown in Hoagland solution with or without 50 mM NaCl or 25 mM Na₂SO₄. After 15 days of treatment, Na₂SO₄ slowed growth of plants as indicated by root, stem and leaf dry weight, root length, shoot height and leaf area, and the effects were major of those induced by NaCl. Photosynthetic response was decreased more by chloride salinity than by sulphate. No effects in both treatments on leaf chlorophyll content, maximal efficiency of PSII photochemistry (Fv/Fm) and electron transport rate (ETR) were recorded. Therefore, an excess of energy following the limitation to CO₂ photoassimilation and a down regulation of PSII photochemistry was monitored under NaCl, which displays mechanisms that play a role in avoiding PSII photodamage able to dissipate this excess energy. Ionic composition (Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, and Mg²⁺) was affected to the same extent under both types of salinity, thus together with an increase in leaves Cl-, and roots SO₄²⁻ in NaCl and Na₂SO₄-treated plants, respectively, may have resulted in the observed growth retardation (for Na₂SO₄ treatment) and photosynthesis activity inhibition (for NaCl treatment), suggesting that those effects seem to have been due to the anionic component of the salts.
