Abstract: Effects of NaCl stress on chlorophyll fluorescence parameters of eggplant seedlings were investigated.The results indicated that with increasing NaCl concentration,maximumfluorescence (Fm),photochemical maximum efficiency of PSII (Fv/ Fm),potential photochemical efficiency (Fv/ Fo),actual photochemical efficiencyof PSII (Ф PSII),efficiency of excitation captured by open PSII centers (Fv ’/ Fm’),photochemical quenching coefficient (qP) and the electron transport rate (ETR) were decreased,minimal fluorescence (Fo),non2photochemical quenching coefficient (NPQ) and high excitation pressure (1-qP) were increased;The fraction of absorbed light in photochemistry (P) were decreased,the fraction of antenna heat dissipation (D) were increased,while excess energy (E) changed unstable,antenna heat dissipation (D) was the main wayfor excessive energy dissipation.These results showed reaction center of PSIIwas damaged and pathway of photosynthetic electron transport was inhibited in eggplant seedlings under NaCl stress.

Key words: NaCl stress, Eggplant seedlings, Chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, Excitation energy dissipation
