| Abstract | The exogenous application of salicylic acid (SA) not only protects plants against stress, but also enhances their growth and productivity. In this study, proliferating shoots of Cistus heterophyllus subsp. carthaginensis, an endangered plant species, were incubated in the presence of 0, 10, 100, and 1,000 μM SA for a period of 2 months. Overall growth, phenylpropanoid metabolism and antioxidant capacity were then determined. At low SA concentration, the efficiency of photosystem II (PSII) and shoot growth remained stable, while chlorophyll and carotenoid levels increased. Furthermore, there were no major changes in the levels of H$_{2}$O$_{2}$ in the different treatments (less than 10 % compared with the control), but an increase in lipid peroxidation, proline content and free and bound SA concentrations was observed in 100 μM SA-treated shoots. SA treatments resulted in increased activities of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (EC 4.3.1.24) and soluble peroxidases (EC 1.11.1.7), which strongly correlated with the decrease in soluble flavanols and the increase of proanthocyanidins, whereas cell wall-bound peroxidases exhibited a SA-concentration-dependent down-regulation. The results provided evidence that the differences in SA-induced changes in phenolic metabolism, especially the oxidation of flavanols by soluble peroxidases, could serve as a backup defence system contributing to a reduction in oxidative cellular damage, as suggested by the high anti-lipid oxidation activity displayed by Cistus extracts. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
