Abstract
The results revealed that application of stigmasterol to salt-stressed flax plants causing
significantly increased in growth parameters, membrane stability index, photosynthetic
pigment and carbohydrate contents compared with salt-stressed plants untreated with
stigmasterol. The level of antioxidant system components (catalase, ascorbic acid
peroxidase) and reduced glutathione with increased in response to stigmasterol treatment.
Enhanced antioxidant activities helped to decrease oxidative damage from salt and
significantly increased in growth parameters, membrane stability index, photosynthetic
pigment and carbohydrate contents compared with salt-stressed plants untreated with
stigmasterol. The level of antioxidant system components (catalase, ascorbic acid
peroxidase) and reduced glutathione with increased in response to stigmasterol treatment.
Enhanced antioxidant activities helped to decrease oxidative damage from salt and
