Abstract

This study aimed to examine the role of aspirin (ASA, acetylsalicylic acid) in mediating the response of Cucumis melo (muskmelon) to variable levels of salinity stress. The study examined the impact of aspirin on the growth parameters, photosynthetic pigments, and total sugars of muskmelon plants subjected to salt stress. Five saline concentrations (NaCl solutions) of 0, 50, 100, 150, and 200 mmol were used as the stress stimulant, and five saline concentrations were combined with aspirin (10ppm) as an alleviation treatment. The findings showed that aspirin increased the activity of photosynthetic pigments and growth parameters, and lowering the overall sugar content, hence positively influencing salt tolerance. The results also showed an increase in the negative effect of salinity as the level of salinity increased. In the first group, adding aspirin to the second group and comparing it with non-aspirin treatment, we found that aspirin reduced salinity's negative effect. The results give insightful data and new methods using aspirin solution as a salinity treatment for future cultivation resistant to salt and yields of muskmelon.
