Ithas been determined that zinc sulphate significantly increases the amount of capsaicin in the cellculture of red hot pepper. It is important to determine how the metal applied as elicitor will have aneffect on plant metabolism. In the study, it was aimed to determine the effects of zinc sulphate(ZnSO4) applied to the cell suspension cultures of pepper seeds at different concentrations (0.1 M,0.2 M, 0.4 M) and for periods (24, 48, 72 hours) on the total protein and phenolic substance amounts,and superoxide dismutase-peroxidase enzyme activities of pepper calluses. It was observed that theamount of protein increased, superoxide dismutase and peroxidase enzyme activities decreased, andthe total amount of phenolic substance increased especially in 72 hours of treatment where zinc wasapplied as elicitor. These results show that ZnSO4 can be used as an abiotic elicitor in plant cell culturemedia.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBiyolojiBahçe BitkileriKimyaUygulamalıBitki BilimleriArticle8122780278410.24925/turjaf.v8i12.2780-2784.4121414121
