Abstract: In this study,using wheat variety(Jingdong 8) as material,effects of exogenous silicon on physiological and biochemical indexes of wheat seedlings under K2Cr2O7(0.6 mmol/L) and CuSO4(0.8 mmol/L) stresses were studied in hydroponic conditions.The results showed that the soluble sugar content,MDA content,the activity of SOD and POD in wheat seedlings were significantly increased under K2Cr2O7 and CuSO4 stresses.The chlorophyll content in wheat seedlings were reduced significantly under K2Cr2O7 and CuSO4 stresses.Exogenous silicon with the concentration of 1.5 mmol/L played a noticeable role in reducing the soluble sugar content,MDA content,the activity of SOD and POD in wheat seedlings under K2Cr2O7 and CuSO4 stresses.Exogenous silicon with the concentration of 1.0 mmol/L played a noticeable role in creasing the chlorophyll content in wheat seedlings under K2Cr2O7 and CuSO4 stresses.Exogenous silicon with appropriate concentration could alleviate the damage caused by K2Cr2O7 and CuSO4 stresses to the wheat seedlings.

Key words: Silicon, Heavy metals, Triticum aestivum, Physiological and biochemical indexes
