Abstract

In order to study the effects of magnetopriming on the physiological and phytochemical characteristics of Hyssopus officinalis plants, this research was conducted as a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design. Results showed that magnetopriming (particularly at 200mT/5 min) increased the level of shoot dry weight (82.6 percent), root dry weight (86.5 percent), total chlorophyll (32.8 percent), carotenoids concentration (32.4 percent) and polyphenols content (2 folds) in 60-day-old Hyssopus officinalis. Also, electrolyte leakage and lipid peroxidation decreased by 27.6 and 45 percent, respectively. In addition, reducing power, DPPH and superoxide anion scavenging activities significantly augmented. However, higher activities of superoxide dismutase (76 percent), catalase (4.2 folds), ascorbate peroxidase (2.4 folds) and guaiacol peroxidase (48 percent) were found at 90 mT. Results suggested that the application of magnetopriming promoted growth in H. officinalis through augmentation of cellular membrane integrity as well as biomass and photosynthetic pigments content. Furthermore, it was found to enhance the antioxidative system. Magnetopriming might apparently improve the medicinal properties via increasing the level of polyphenols and antioxidant capacity in H. officinalis.
