Wheatgrass is considered as a superfood because of its high antioxidant potential and beneficial ingredients. Especially in recent years, wheatgrass juice and its powder have been tested in vivo animal models and clinical studies against some diseases. Salicylic acid (SA) one of the important phytohormones controlling plant growth is used as an exogenous elicitor to increase plant bioactive compounds. The aim of this study was to investigate antioxidant potential, vitamin C content and DNA protection of wheatgrass grown from SA pre-treated seeds. For this purpose, total antioxidant statue, total oxidant statue, oxidative stress index and vitamin C level were determined. Additionally, pUC19 plasmid was incubated with Fenton’s solution to determine DNA protection activity of lyophilized wheatgrass extract. Bread wheat caryopses were imbibed in different concentrations of SA for 2 hours. Wheatgrass grown from seeds pre-treated with 10-8 M SA had significantly higher total antioxidant statue, vitamin C and soluble protein content than control. It was observed that wheatgrass extracts had a DNA protective role against hydroxyl radicals. It was concluded that SA pretreatment of seeds could be a good approach to increase their antioxidant potential, soluble protein content and vitamin C level of plants used as antioxidant sources by people.

Buğday çimi yüksek antioksidan potansiyeli ve yararlı içeriğinden dolayı bir süper besin olarak görülmektedir. Özellikle son yıllarda, buğday çim suyu ve tozu bazı hastalıklara karşı in vivo hayvan modellerinde ve klinik çalışmalarda test edilmiştir. Bitki büyümesini kontrol eden önemli bitki hormonlarından biri olan salisilik asit (SA) bitki biyoaktif maddelerini artırmak için dış kaynaklı bir elisitör olarak kullanılır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, SA ile ön uygulama yapılmış tohumlardan büyüyen buğday çiminin antioksidan potansiyelini, C vitamini içeriğini ve DNA koruyucu aktivitesini araştırmaktır. Bu amaç için, toplam antioksidan seviye, toplam oksidan seviye, oksidatif stres indeksi ve C vitamini seviyesi belirlendi. Bunlara ek olarak, liyofilize buğday çimi ekstrelerinin DNA koruyucu aktivitesini belirlemek için pUC19 plazmiti Fenton solüsyonu ile muamele edildi. Ekmeklik buğday karyopsis meyveleri farklı konsantrasyonlarda ki SA içinde 2 saat şişirildiler. 10-8 M SA ile şişirilen tohumlardan büyüyen buğday çimi kontrole göre anlamlı olarak daha yüksek toplam antioksidan seviyeye, C vitamini ve çözünen protein içeriğine sahiptir. Buğday çimi ekstresinin hidroksil radikallerine karşı DNA koruyucu rolüne sahip olduğu gözlendi. İnsanlar tarafından antioksidan kaynağı olarak tüketilen bitkilerin antioksidan potansiyelini, çözünen protein içeriğini ve C vitamini seviyesini artırmak için tohumlarına SA ön uygulamasının yapılmasının iyi bir yaklaşım olabileceği sonucuna varıldı.
