The plants treated by UV-B irradiation were more resistent to salinity. There were two groups of compounds. One - proline, carotinoids, phenols are accumulated under salinity conditions. Second group - pigments - antocyans and flavones. Its biosynthesis is stimulated by UV-B irradiation. Under complex stressor action pigments were increased and this increasing helped plants to overcome the high salinity. The antioxidant enzyme superoxid dismutase did not play essential role in adaptive response. The low molecular weight antioxidants were more effective for formation of adaptation response. The peroxidase activity had not correlation with superoxid dismutase activity and we supposed that H2O2 could be result of other process and served as signal molecul.Ocimum basilicum L.UV-B irradiationprolinesuperoxid dismutaseNaCl actionбазилик Ocimum basilicum L.УФ-B-радиацияпролинсупероксиддисмутазазасоление
