- Abstract
A greenhouse experiment with factorial arrangement based on randomized complete block design with four replications was conducted in 2015 to evaluate the effects of salicylic acid (SA) (1 mM) and jasmonic acid (JA) (0.5 mM) on oil accumulation and fatty acid composition of soybean oil (Glycine max L.) under salt stress (Non-saline, 4, 7, and 10 dS/m NaCl). Oil percentage of soybean seeds declined, while oil content per seed enhanced with increasing seed filling duration. Foliar application of SA improved oil content per soybean seed at different stages of development under all salinity levels. Although JA treatment enhanced seed oil percentage, oil yield of these plants decreased as a result of reduction in seed yield per plant. In contrast, the highest oil yield was recorded for SA treated plants, due to higher seed yield. Salinity had no significant effects on percentage of palmitic acid and stearic acid, but treatment with JA significantly reduced stearic acid percentage. Oleic acid content of seeds increased, but percentages of linoleic acid, linolenic acid and unsaturation index (UI) of soybean oil decreased with increasing salinity. Foliar application of SA and JA improved oil quality of soybean seeds by reducing oleic acid and enhancing linoleic acid, linolenic acid contents and UI. Exogenous application of SA had the most beneficial effects on soybean seeds due to enhancing oil yield and quality under saline and non-saline conditions.
