Nanoformulated rosemary essential oil in chitosan matrix alleviates salinity-induced physiological and biochemical damages in lettuce
Salinity is a major abiotic stress that impairs plant growth and limits agricultural productivity. This study investigated the potential of rosemary essential oil-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (REOCSNPs) to alleviate the detrimental effects of salt stress in lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.). The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse using a completely randomized design with three replications. Lettuce plants were exposed to varying salinity levels and treated with REOCSNPs, chitosan nanoparticles, or rosemary essential oil. Salinity stress significantly reduced root and shoot biomass, chlorophyll content, and uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, while increasing levels of oxidative markers such as malondialdehyde (MDA) and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). In contrast, foliar application of REOCSNPs, particularly at 500 ppm, effectively improved plant growth and physiological status. This treatment enhanced nutrient accumulation, osmoprotectants (proline and soluble carbohydrates), and secondary metabolites (phenolics and flavonoids), and it significantly boosted the activities of antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and peroxidase (POX). Moreover, it reduced MDA and H₂O₂ levels, indicating decreased oxidative damage. In summary, these findings underscore the potential of REOCSNPs as a sustainable biostimulant in saline environments and pave the way for future research into nanobiotechnology-based strategies to enhance crop resilience under abiotic stress conditions.
期刊介绍:
Scientia Horticulturae is an international journal publishing research related to horticultural crops. Articles in the journal deal with open or protected production of vegetables, fruits, edible fungi and ornamentals under temperate, subtropical and tropical conditions. Papers in related areas (biochemistry, micropropagation, soil science, plant breeding, plant physiology, phytopathology, etc.) are considered, if they contain information of direct significance to horticulture. Papers on the technical aspects of horticulture (engineering, crop processing, storage, transport etc.) are accepted for publication only if they relate directly to the living product. In the case of plantation crops, those yielding a product that may be used fresh (e.g. tropical vegetables, citrus, bananas, and other fruits) will be considered, while those papers describing the processing of the product (e.g. rubber, tobacco, and quinine) will not. The scope of the journal includes all horticultural crops but does not include speciality crops such as, medicinal crops or forestry crops, such as bamboo. Basic molecular studies without any direct application in horticulture will not be considered for this journal.
