In order to investigate the effect of polyamines on antioxidant activity and biochemical traits of Camelina under salinity stress conditions, a pot (as poen air) experiment was conducted at Payame Noor University (PNU), Iran in March 2022 as factorial layout based on a completely randomized design with 12 treatments and 3 repetitions. The salinity treatment was at three salinity levels (0, 15 and 30 dS/m) and 4 foliar spraying levels including 1- spermine (2 mM), 2- spermidine (2 mM), 3- putrescine (2 mM) and control (pure water foliar spraying). The results showed that with the increasing salinity stress, oil and protein contents and dry seed weight, chlorophyll index, shoot organic and mineral percentage decreased, but protein percentage, shoot ash percentage, soluble sugars, antioxidant activity and ion leakage percentage increased significantly. Salinity stress of 30 and 15 ds/m compared to the control, reduced the chlorophyll index (32 and 15 percent) and mineral percentage (19 and 3 percent), oil percentage (17 and 9 percent), dry oil weight in pot (62 and 21 percent) and dry seed weight (52 and 10 percent), but protein percentage (9 and 3 percent), ash percentage (33 and 30 percent), soluble sugars (32 and 20 percent) and antioxidant activity (21 and 13 percent) increased, respectively. Also, foliar spraying with polyamines increased the above traits, but decreased the percentage of ion leakage. Therefore, in order to decreasing the effects of salinity stress and increasing the dry seed and oil weights in pot, spraying with polyamines, especially spermine, is suggested.

To investigate the effect of polyamines on vegetative and biochemical traits of Crocus sativus L., an experiment was conducted as factorial in a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2015-2016 in Training Field of Tarbiat Modares University with three sizes of corms (3-5, 5-7 and 7-10 g) and five concentrations of polyamines (zero in control, zero in distilled water, spermidine 0.5 and 1 , putrescine 0.5 and 1 ) as the treatments. Results showed that plants treated with putrescine 0.5 and spermidine 1 mM had the highest germination percentage (96.56 percent) and the highest number of lateral sprouts (average number of 8.33), respectively. The length and weight of the leaves were negatively affected by polyamine treatment. The highest chlorophyll content and corm yield were observed in plants treated with Putrescine 0.5 mM and 1 mM, respectively. The content of starch and soluble carbohydrates in dormant corms at the end of growing season were not affected by polyamines significantly; however, total phenolic and flavonoid content in these corms were respectively decreased and increased as a result of applying polyamines. Having no significant effect on stigma dry weight and picrocrocin content, polyamine treatment increased the number of flowers and crocin content in small corms. It is concluded that to obtain better vegetative and biochemical traits of saffron, corms more than 7 g, treated with putrescine, should be used.

In this research, the effect of putrescine, spermine and spermidine on the vase life of cut red carnation (Red Corsa) and some physiological traits was investigated in horticultural laboratory of Azad University branch Rafsanjan in 2015. Therefore, an experiment based on completely randomized design with tree levels of 1, 2 and 3mM of putrescine and 0.5, 1 and 2mM of spermidine and 1, 2 and 3mM of spermine with 3 replications was performed. The recorded traits included vase life and morphological and physiological factors. The results indicated that all of the treatments increased vase life significantly compared to control treatment. On the other hand polyamines decreased ethylene production. Spermidineof 2 mM caused the highest vase life and the lowest ethylene production. All of the treatments especially 2 mM of Spermidine increased flower diameter and solution uptake content significantly compared to control treatment and 2 Mm of spermidine have been the most effective treatment. 1 and 2 mM of spermidine were only treatments that don’t reduce dry matter percentage significantly in the flowers. 2 mM of Spermidine caused the maximum amount of physiological traits as protein, chlorophyll and total soluble solids in the leaves of flowers. Therefore, 2 mM of Spermidine is suggested as the best treatment to increase postharvest life in Carnation cv. Red Corsa.
