Abstract
In order to investigate the effect of cadmium and salicylic acid on the physiological and biochemical traits of red bean seeds a factorial experiment was conducted in the form of a completely randomized design with three replications at the Seed Science and Technology Laboratory of University of Mohaghegh Ardabili in 2023. Experimental treatments included three levels of salicylic acid (0, 50 and 100 mM) and four levels of cadmium (0, 25, 50 and 75 ppm). The results showed that the effect of cadmium and salicylic acid treatments and the effect of the interaction of these two factors on the characteristics of Final Germination Percentage (FGP), Germination Rate (gr), Germination Uniformity (GU), Radicle Length (RL), Radicle fresh and dry weight (RFW and RDW), Radicle cadmium were significant. The highest FGP (99.66%), GR (0.81 seeds per day), RL (14.5 mm), RFW (0.46 gr) and RDW (0.2 gr) observed in the treatment with 100 mM salicylic acid and no application of cadmium. The activity of catalase, peroxidase and superoxide dismutase enzymes increased by 73, 81 and 75%, respectively in the treatment with salicylic acid and without cadmium compared to the control. In general, the use of salicylic acid, by reducing the negative effects of cadmium, improves the physiological traits and the activity of antioxidant enzymes of red bean seeds.
