Abstract:
Chromium has a significant impact on wheat growth, making it a serious globalproblem. The discharge of heavy metals into soil is a major global problem, theypersist and disrupt our ecosystem. Due to higher nutrient content, wheat is themost significant and food cereal in the world. Salicylic acid is a powerfulsignaling molecule that activates plant’s defense mechanisms under biotic aswell as abiotic stressors including heavy metals, drought and salt stress. Maringaseed extract is a rich source of antioxidants and osmoprotectants. The researchwas done, in University of Gujrat, Pakistan. Salicylic acid seed priming andextract of moringa seed exogenously was used to study the harmful effects ofchromium on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) variety Sehar-06 and variety Johar-16. The finding signifies the two years data (2021 and 2022) of wheat. Totalphenolic contents in root were highly increased (293.0, 291.33) with 3 %moringa seed extract and 3 mM salicylic acid in Johar-16 and also with high (1.0mM) chromium stress in both years. Increased total phenolic contents in shootwere also noted at all levels of chromium (0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 mM). In both wheatvarieties, the control showed the lowest total phenolic levels in seed (35.06,36.21) in both the 2021 and 2022 years in Sehar-06. Maximum (57.75 and 59.33)total flavonoid content in root were recorded in non- stressed plants withsalicylic acid seed (3 mM) and exogenous application of moringa seed extract (3%) in both wheat varieties in comparison with non-sprayed plants.TFC decreasedwith increasing Cr stress. MSE helps in increase of TFC in shoot by 17.87 % inSehar-06 and by 18.93 % in Johar-16 of non chromium treated plants. It waselaborated from results that Johar-16 gave best values of total flavonoid content inseed as compare to Sehar-06.
