English Abstract
Mentha spicata plants were subjected to different biotic stresses in order to evaluate the phenolic compounds leaves levels and the types of signals triggering.
Total phenolic compounds levels exhibited specific response to a particular abiotic stress factor which were fast respond to drought exposure, light intensity (10, 100 and 1000µE), with slight change in response to salt stress (100mM NaCl) and for heat stress (4 and 30˚C).
A parallel change was with elevation in H2O2 contents which considered the main signal molecule to enhance plant tolerance for different stresses.
Indeed, the change in anthocyanins and carotenoids contents in response to drought, different light intensities, salinity and temperature stress was encounter with change in H2O2 contents in particular for long term of exposure.
MDA level was also exhibited the changing depending on the levels of oxidant and antioxidant a availability during a particular abiotic stress factors. This risk was a accomplished by the regulation of PAL activity which was found to be increased during the stress period as the severity of stress become more serious. Chl contents were also used to explore this imbalance caused by each abiotic factor.
Prolonged exposure showed reduction in Chl contents in particular when exposed to light intensity.
Higher anthocyanins, carotenoids, H2O2 and total phenolic compounds levels were expressed the plasticity of plant acclimation at different levels. Tolerance of abiotic stress factors apparently is closely associated with the non-enzymatic antioxidant system via metabolome readjustment.
The study suggests that, the biosynthesis of these compounds is tightly regulated, reflect plant plasticity for acclimation to different abiotic stress.
