Effects of Some Micronutrients on Antioxidant Activity of Thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.)

Bazı Mikro Elementlerin Adi Kekiğin (Thymus vulgaris L.) Antioksidan Aktivitesi Üzerine Etkileri Lamiaceae familyasının diğer türlerinde olduğu gibi adi kekik'te de antioksidan aktivite bulunmaktadır. Bu araştırmada mikro elementlerin adi kekiğin antioksidan aktivitesi üzerine olan etkisinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma Iran'ın Batı Azerbaycan Eyaleti, Urumiye, Urumiye Üniversitesi, Ziraat Fakültesi Tarla Bitkileri Bölümü Deneme Tarlasında ve Biyoloji Bölümü Laboratuvarında 2015-2016 yıllarında yürütülmüştür. Deneme tesadüf blokları deneme desenine göre üç tekrarlamalı olarak kurulmuştur. Denemede Fe, Zn, B ve Mn gübre olarak kullanılmıştır. Toplam fenolik madde içeriği, toplam flavonoid içeriği, DPPH serbest radikalı giderme aktivitesi, nitrik oksit serbest radikalı giderme aktivitesi ve Zincir kırıcı aktivitesi gibi karakterler incelenmiştir. Verilerin varyans analizine göre ilk hasatta gübre uygulamaları arasında toplam fenolik madde içeriği, toplam flavonoid içeriği, DPPH serbest radikalı giderme aktivitesi, nitrik oksit serbest radikalı giderme aktivitesi ve Zincir kırıcı aktivitesi karakterleri bakımından farklılıklar önemli bulunmuştur. İlk hasada rağmen ikinci hasatta sadece nitrik oksit serbest radikalı giderme aktivitesi bakımından gübre uygulamaları arasında farklılıklar önemli görünmüştür. Toplam fenolik madde içeriği, toplam flavonoid içeriği, nitrik oksit serbest radikalı giderme aktivitesi, DPPH serbest radikalı giderme aktivitesi ve Zincir kırıcı aktivitesi bakımından sırasıyla Mn, B, kontrol ve Mn uygulamaları en iyi sonuçları ortaya koymuştur.

Bazı Mikro Elementlerin Adi Kekiğin (Thymus vulgaris L.) Antioksidan Aktivitesi Üzerine Etkileri

The species of the Lamiaceae family such as thyme possess appreciable antioxidant activity. The aim of trial was to study the effects of some micronutrients on antioxidant activity of thyme. The study was conducted at the Experimental Fields of Agronomy Department, Faculty of Agriculture and the Lab of Biology Department, Urmia University, West Azerbaijan, Iran, during 2015-2016. In the trial used randomized complete block design in three replications. Control, Fe, Zn, B and Mn were used as fertilizer treatments. Total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, DPPH radical scavenging activity, nitric oxide radical scavenging activity and Chain-breaking activity were determined. According to the results the effect of micronutrients in the first harvest on total phenols content, total flavonoids content, nitric oxide radical scavenging, DPPH radical scavenging activity and Chain-breaking activity was significant whereas in second harvest only nitric oxide radical scavenging activity was significant. In terms of total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, nitric oxide radical scavenging activity, DPPH radical scavenging activity, and Chain-breaking activity the best treatment was Mn, B, control and Mn respectively.
