Abstract
Capsicum annuum is the most cultivated species of chili in the world. The fruits of this species contain secondary metabolites that can be induced by the application of elicitors. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), salicylic acid (SA) and regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) on the plant phenological variables and in vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of pepper fruits. The experimental design was completely random and the treatments consisted of exogenous application of H2O2 (6, 14, and 18 mM), SA (0.01, 0.1 and 0.5 mM), and RDI (50%). The concentration of phenols, flavonoids and tannins was quantified by colorimetric methods. The antioxidant activity was determined by DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) and ABTS (2,2'-Azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) techniques, in addition the in vitro antimicrobial activity was evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus The highest concentrations of phenols and flavonoids corresponded to treatments SA 0.5 mM, H2O2 14 mM and 18 mM and RDI 50% The highest level of tannins was reported for treatments SA 0.1 mM and AS 0.01 mM. The antioxidant activity was higher in the treatments with the highest concentrations of the elicitors of SA and H2O2. Finally, the treatments AS 0.01 and 0.5 mM showed antimicrobial activity against S. aureus. Therefore, the application of AS, H2O2 and RDC 50% were an adequate strategy to improve the growth and development of the bell pepper plant.
