Journal Title: Journal of Henan Agricultural University - Year 2024, Vol 58, Issue 5
Abstract
[Objective] To explore the alleviating effects of different concentrations of exogenous selenium (Se) on moderate salt stress (100 mmol·L-1) of wheat seedlings. [Method] A hydroponic experiment was carried out with wheat Bainong 207 and sodium selenite as test materials. Five treatments were set up: CK (without adding NaCl and Se), Na (100 mmol·L-1 NaCl), NaSe5 (100 mmol·L-1 NaCl+5 μmol·L-1 Se), NaSe10 (100 mmol·L-1 NaCl+10 μmol·L-1 Se) and NaSe20 (100 mmol·L-1 NaCl + 20 μmol·L-1 Se). Wheat seedling biomass, root parameters, photosynthetic characteristics (photosynthetic pigment content and photosynthetic parameters) and ion balance (Na+, K+ content and their transport coefficients) were determined. [Result] Compared with CK, the 100 mmol·L-1 NaCl stress significantly reduced dry matter accumulation, root morphological parameters, photosynthetic characteristics, K+ content and K+ transport coefficient in shoot and root, but significantly increased Na+ content and Na+ transport coefficient in roots and shoot of wheat seedlings. Under medium salt stress, wheat seedling exhibited varying responses to different concentrations of exogenous Se. Among them, the application of 5 μmol·L-1 Se could increase dry weight, total root surface area, chlorophyll a and net photosynthetic rate of wheat seedlings to the greatest extent by 15.00%, 44.36%, 34.65% and 39.21%, respectively. At the same time, this treatment decreased the Na+ transport coefficient and the Na+/K+ ratio in the ground and root of wheat seedlings to 11.13%, 42.37% and 51.18%. [Conclusion] Appropriate concentration of exogenous Se (5 μmol·L-1) can effectively alleviate the damage of moderate salt stress on the growth and development of wheat seedlings.
