Abstract

As a result of global warming and environmental pollution resulting from human activities such as industrialization, CO2 emissions, and mining, plants are exposed to more and more abiotic stress types day by day. As a natural consequence of this situation, yield losses and economic problems occur in agricultural plants. To contribute to the solution of these problems, firstly, ıt was present a simple synthetic strategy involving naphthalene-sulfonate hybrid derivatives mediated by triethylamine. It successfully obtained a sequence of four designed molecules. Biologıcal evaluation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) levels were measured in maize seedlings under abiotic stress for naphthalene-sulfonate hybrid constructions. It was observed that the 3a, 3b, 3c, and 3d derivatives reached the lowest H2O2 content at 0.5 mM, 0.75 mM, 0.25, and 0.25 mM concentrations, respectively. For all 3a, 3b, 3c, and 3d derivatives, the TBARS content was the lowest at concentrations between 0.25 mM and 0.5 mM, and there was no statistical difference between the two pre-treatments. In light of the findings, it was observed that all of the 3a, 3b, 3c, and 3d derivatives were effective at different levels in alleviating the adverse effects of abiotic stresses on plants. However, 0.25 mM concentration of the 3c derivative was determined to be the most effective in reducing both H2O2 and TBARS levels in maize seedlings under stress.

Naftalin-sülfonat hibrit yapılarının sentezi, karakterizasyonu ve mısırda abiyotik stres göstergelerine etkileri

Abstract

Küresel ısınma ve sanayileşme, CO2 emisyonları, madencilik gibi insan faaliyetlerinden kaynaklanan çevre kirliliği sonucunda bitkiler her geçen gün daha fazla abiyotik stres türlerine maruz kalmaktadır. Bu durumun doğal bir sonucu olarak da tarımsal bitkilerde verim kayıpları ve ekonomik sorunlar ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu problemlerin çözümüne katkı sağlamak için öncelikle trietilamin aracılı naftalin-sülfonat hibrit türevlerini içeren basit bir sentez stratejisi sunulmuştur. Başarıyla tasarlanmış dört molekül dizisi elde edildi. Naftalin-sülfonat hibrit yapıları için abiyotik stres altındaki mısır fidelerinde hidrojen peroksit (H2O2) ve tiyobarbitürik asit-reaktif maddesinin (TBARS) düzeyleri ölçülmüştür. 3a, 3b, 3c ve 3d türevlerinin sırasıyla 0,5 mM, 0,75 mM, 0,25 ve 0,25 mM konsantrasyonlarında en düşük H2O2 içeriğine ulaştığı gözlendi. 3a, 3b, 3c ve 3d türevleri için TBARS içeriği, 0,25 mM ile 0,5 mM arasındaki konsantrasyonlarda en düşük seviyedeydi ve iki uygulama arasında istatistiksel bir fark yoktu. Elde edilen bulgular ışığında 3a, 3b, 3c ve 3d türevlerinin tamamının bitkiler üzerindeki abiyotik streslerin olumsuz etkilerini azaltmada farklı düzeylerde etkili olduğu görülmüştür. Ancak stres altındaki mısır fidelerinde hem H2O2 hem de TBARS düzeylerini düşürmede 3c türevinin 0,25 mM konsantrasyonunun en etkili olduğu belirlenmiştir.
