Waterlogging mostly increased fresh weight and water content in shoots and roots of Vigna sinensis and Zea mays while salinity seemed to have a decreasing effect. There was a marked induction of proline in shoots and roots of both plants by salinity with lower values in logged plants. In addition, anthocyanin content was increased in Vigna sinensis by both treatments and in Zea mays only by salinity. Meanwhile the treatments significantly accumulated phenolic compounds in plant shoots. Also there were increased activities of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) and tyrosine ammonia lyase (TAL) in shoots and roots of both plants. Foliar application of kinetin equilibrated, if any, the effects of both treatments on contents of proline, anthocyanin and phenolic compounds as well as activities of PAL and TAL in shoots and roots of treated plants. These findings reveal that kinetin alleviates the stress symptoms and regulates the changes in phenolic metabolism of waterlogged or salinity treated Vigna sinensis and Zea mays.
