Abstract: With potted Paeonia suffruticosa Andr. cv. Zhu shalei as material, the effect of soil water on the physioecological characters of paeoy leaves under five drought stress developing. The results showed that with the soil water stress increasing, the relative water deficit (RWD) raised, content of chlorophyll, chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b decreased, and content of carotenoids raised less from 85% to 55%, and it decreased obviously from 55% to 20%. The content of O-2, MDA, Proline, soluble sugar and O-2 production rate in leaves increased obviously; At same time, the activity of SOD decreased, and POD increased.

Key words: Tree peony, Relative soil water content, Soil water stress, physioecological characteristics
