Abstract

Salinity stress is one of the most limiting factors in plant growth and physiological activities. To extend crop production in saline regions, application of plant promoting growth substances like Chitosan is necessary to modify the adverse effects of salinity. Milk thistle is an agro-medical plant that is familiar as a weed. However, Silymarin (which is produced by Milk thistle as a secondary metabolite) is one the most important material for treating such disease as; liver diseases, blood fat, diabetes, hepatitis, and cancer. Application of bio stimulants is one of the solutions for decreasing adverse effects of abiotic and biotic stresses on plants and increasing quality and quantity of plant yield production, so chitosan is a compound that induces defense mechanisms against stresses.
