Abstract:
【Objective】 To study NaCl stress, different concentrations of exogenous melatonin on growth indicators, photosynthetic pigment content, photosynthetic characteristics, chlorophyll fluorescence characteristics and antioxidant activity of strawberry seedlings in the hope of providing the optimal concentration of stress of strawberry NaCl stress for melatonin theoretical basis.
【Methods】 Strawberry seedlings were taken as testing materials, and the seedlings were measured under 5 g/L NaCl treatment by spraying different concentrations of exogenous melatonin (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 μmol/L).During the experiments, growth indicators, photosynthetic content, photosynthetic properties, chlorophyll fluorescence and antioxidant activity were determined the 3, 6 and 9 d.
【Results】 NaCl stress could reduce the growth index, photosynthetic properties, photosynthetic properties, chlorophyll fluorescence characteristics, and antioxidant activity of strawberry seedlings.Exogenous application of 50, 100, 150 and 200 μmol/L concentrations of melatonin increased them under NaCl stress.The concentration effect of melatonin 150 μmol/L was optimal, and after being processed 9 d, compared with NaCl stress,the plant height, stem diameter, fresh weight per plant, Chla, Chlb, Car,
Pn,
Ci,
Fm, SOD, CAT, POD and APX of strawberry seedlings increased by 23.75%, 37.97%, 18.87%, 37.95%, 75.93%, 41.22%, 58.96%, 26.47%, 46.72%, 32.89%, 84.26%, 48.34%and 33.94%,
F0 rising speed was significantly reduced.
【Conclusion】 Under NaCl stress, spraying different concentrations of melatonin can effectively alleviate NaCl stress injury to strawberries and the best effects is 150 μmol/L.
