TI  - The Investigation of the Effect of the Salicylic Acid on the Antioxidant Potential, Vitamin C  Content and DNA Protection Activity of Wheatgrass (Triticum aestivum L.)
AB  - Wheatgrass is considered as a superfood because of its high  antioxidant potential and beneficial ingredients. Especially in recent  years, wheatgrass juice and its powder have been tested in vivo animal models and clinical studies against some diseases. Salicylic  acid (SA) one of the important phytohormones controlling plant  growth is used as an exogenous elicitor to increase plant bioactive  compounds. The aim of this study was to investigate antioxidant  potential, vitamin C content and DNA protection of wheatgrass  grown from SA pre-treated seeds. For this purpose, total antioxidant  statue, total oxidant statue, oxidative stress index and vitamin C  level were determined. Additionally, pUC19 plasmid was incubated  with Fenton’s solution to determine DNA protection activity of  lyophilized wheatgrass extract. Bread wheat caryopses were imbibed  in different concentrations of SA for 2 hours. Wheatgrass grown from  seeds pre-treated with 10-8 M SA had significantly higher total  antioxidant statue, vitamin C and soluble protein content than  control. It was observed that wheatgrass extracts had a DNA  protective role against hydroxyl radicals. It was concluded that SA  pretreatment of seeds could be a good approach to increase their  antioxidant potential, soluble protein content and vitamin C level of  plants used as antioxidant sources by people.
