Salicylic acid and kaolin effects on pomological, physiological, and phytochemical characters of six hazelnuts (Corylus avellana ) cultivars at an arid, warm summer condition
Nowadays, nuts are accounted for more important in the human diet because of their nutritional values 1,2 and hazelnut is one of the world’s major nut crops. The world market of hazelnut witnesses an upward trend that reached nearly 1,05 Million tons in 2017. There is a growing interest in hazelnut consumption, and about 90% of products have been used in the confectionery and chocolate industry, and remainings are sold in-shell for fresh consumption. Turkey and Italy are leading producer countries, with approximately 50% of whole global production. Iran produced nearly 18,000 T of hazelnuts in 2017, ranking Th in world production 91.
In general, Hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) production has been restricted to humid temperate areas with a moderate winter and summer. Hazelnut trees are sensitive to heat stress in warm summers and freezes as low temperatures less than -15℃ 93. In these climate conditions, we are needed new production management practices, and new genotypes to overcome problems 4. As expected, the temperature in the future will be raised approximately 1.5℃ until 2030, according to prediction obtained of weather modeling 5. To reduce the impacts of high temperatures on horticultural products need different strategies such as selection tolerant cultivars, technical management practices, and the use of exogenous protectants for mitigating heat-induced damages. Technical management methods induced several ways like shading, and irrigation system, which reduces the effects of intense light and high temperatures, but these techniques are costly, high demand technology, an abundance of water use, and complications the spread of some diseases due to high humidity 6.
Currently, the application of particle films is one of the inexpensive and facile ways for decreasing the temperature in orchards and field crops 7. Kaolin, an aqueous formulation made from inert chemical clay (Al4Si4O10(OH)8),8 is specially formulated for mitigating the solar damage by coating the surface of leaf and fruit for protecting from UV injury as well as heat stress, salinity, freezing, insects, and diseases. Besides, it enables to enhance, photosynthesis functions, gas exchange, and net CO2 assimilation, also improves fruit criteria such as color, yield and post-harvest quality in olive, walnut, apple, mango, pomegranate, grape, tomato, and berry9–17 Kaolin also has effects on increasing the antioxidant capacity, secondary metabolites such as phenolic content and phenylpropanoids and flavonoids 18–21.
Salicylic acid plays a crucial role in response to abiotic stresses, and its external application at a suitable concentration can improve the plant's antioxidant system . Salicylic acid significantly affects the biosynthesis of supportive compounds such as polyamines and proline, protein heat stress 23–26. Moreover, SA pretreatment revealed how to alleviate the oxidative stress an effective protectant under heat, UV, drought, and salinity stress 27. The SA signaling affects photosystem function (PSII) through maintaining higher Rubisco activation level and acceleration the recovery of net photosynthesis rate (Pn) at heat stress mainly by influencing on PSII function and increased heat shock proteins (HSPs) 28–31. SA treatments were also stimulatory for antioxidant systems like proline, phenolic content, and antioxidant enzyme activities (SOD, APX, CAT) and inhibitory on H2O2, MDA, EL under heat stress in pea, strawberry, olive, grape, cotton, rapeseed 32–34.
Regardless of all of their merits mentioned above, we set out our aim to understand the effects of kaolin, salicylic acid, and their interaction on hazelnut trees. A wide range of pomological and physicochemical properties of hazelnut was studied. This study aims to protect hazelnut orchards under heat stress conditions considering the climate change in recent of many parts of decades of many parts of the world.
