Investigation of the association between gene expression levels and phenolic compound content in the leaves of Sonchus arvensis plants under salinity stress.

ABSTRACT: Sonchus arvensis is recognized for its high content of phenolic compounds and antioxidants, exhibiting various medicinal benefits, including anti-diabetic, anti-depressant, and anti-cancer properties. This has positioned the plant as a significant candidate for commercial food, medicinal, and antioxidant supplements. Salinity may enhance the level of chlorogenic and caffeic acid, which are key secondary metabolites in S. arvensis. To investigate this, a completely randomized design experiment with three replications was implemented in a greenhouse to examine the impact of salinity on the expression of six genes responsible for the biosynthesis of chlorogenic acid. Additionally, the study examined how salinity affects the accumulation of chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, chicori
