Abstract :
In this research the role of Salicylic acid (0.1, 0.01 mM) in amelioration of salt stress in species of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) has been investigated. We studied the effects of salicylic acid on the Na+, K+ content of those plants which were under salt stress for 24, 48 and 72 hours. In stress conditions, while Na+ content of leaf increased compared with those plants pretreated with salicylic acid, there was a reduction in K+ content .Salicylic acid pre-treatment alleviated the adverse effects of salt stress based on Na+, K+ measurement.
