Abstract
Grape softwood cuttings of Khoshnaw cultivar were cultured using tissue-culture methods to study the effect of iron nanoparticles and potassium silicate under salinity conditions during the 2015–2016 growing season. The treatments consisted of salinity stress (0, 50, and 100 mM NaCl), nanoparticles of iron (0, 0.08, and 0.8 ppm), and potassium silicate (0, 1, 2 mM). The results also showed that the application of iron nanoparticles and potassium silicate significantly increased the total protein content and reduced proline, enzymatic antioxidant activity and hydrogen peroxide. Salinity stress reduced membrane stability index while increased malondialdehyde content. Increase of membrane stability index and reduction of malondialdehyde content were obtained for 2 mM potassium silicate and 0.8 ppm iron nanoparticle. Iron and potassium silicate were shown to lower the sodium content and increase the potassium content under salinity-stress conditions. The highest ratio of sodium to potassium was observed in plants under salinity conditions (100 mM) treated with neither iron nanoparticles nor potassium silicate; conversely, the lowest ratio was achieved in plants treated with both 0.8 ppm iron nanoparticles with 1 mM and 2 mM potassium silicate under non-stress conditions. These results indicate that the application of micronutrients in stressful conditions is a suitable method to compensate for the negative effects of salinity stress. Tissue culture in this study was shown to be an economically efficient and applicable technique for producing grape softwood cuttings to be used in experiments.
