Abstract:

To explore the salt tolerance of four wheat materials (‘Jimai 32’, ‘Tainong 18’, ‘Dekang 961’, ‘Shiluan 02-1’) at the seedling stage and screen out excellent germplasm resources with high stress resistance, water culture experiment was used in this research, NaCl stress concentrations were set as 0, 100, and 200 mmol/L, and the growth characteristics, photosynthetic characteristics, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and proline content were measured. The four wheat materials were evaluated by principal component analysis and membership function analysis for salt tolerance. The results showed that with the increase of salt concentration, leaf fresh weight, root fresh weight, total root length, total root surface area, total root volume, net photosynthetic rate (Pn), transpiration rate (Tr), stomatal conductance (Gs), photosystem Ⅱ maximum photosynthetic efficiency (Fv/Fm), photosystem Ⅱ actual photosynthesis efficiency (ΦPSⅡ) and photochemical quenching (qP) of each variety decreased in varying degrees compared with those of the control, while root average diameter, intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci), malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration, non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) and proline content increased in varying degrees. The salt tolerance of the 4 varieties from strong to weak was ‘Jimai 32’> ‘Dekang 961’>‘Tainong 18’>‘Shiluan 02-1’. According to the multi-trait index of salt tolerance, ‘Jimai 32’ and ‘Dekang 961’ were screened to have high salt tolerance.
