THE EFFECT OF TRIFOLII RUBRI FLOS (RED CLOVER FLOWERS) HYDROALCOHOLIC EXTRACT ON SOME BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS IN TRITICUM AESTIVUM L. PLANTS

Red clover (Trifolium pratense) hydroalcoholic extract was prepared by the extraction of powdered driedflowers with ethanol 70% v/v (1:13.33), by reflux for two hours. The stock extract was diluted with distilled water to givethe final concentrations of 0.5, 1 and 5% (v/v). These concentrations were tested for their effects on superoxide-dismutase, catalase and peroxidase activity in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seedlings, and on soluble protein content, in alaboratory experiment. Distilled water was used as a control (C). After the 7 days of experiment, we evaluated the activityof these oxidoreductases, as well as the soluble protein level.
