Abstract:

In order to investigate the effects of exogenous brassinolide on physiological characteristics,transcriptional level and growth of wheat at jointing stage under freezing stress,the semi-winter wheat variety Bainong 207 was used as material,and irrigated with 0.1 mg/L 2,4-Epibrassinolide(EBR)to study its chlorophyll content(SPAD value),malondialdehyde(MDA)content,relative conductivity,free proline(Pro)content,stress resistance related gene expression,young panicle freezing rate,grain yield,1 000 grains weight and dry matter quality.The results showed that before freezing stress,there was no significant difference in SPAD value,MDA content and relative conductivity between the control group and the treatment group,but the Pro content in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group;after freezing stress,compared with the control,external application of EBR significantly reduced the MDA content and relative conductivity of wheat leaves,and increased the SPAD value and Pro content.At 48 hours of freezing stress,the relative expression of stress resistance related genes SOD,POD,CAT,P5CS,and WCS120 in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control.After freezing stress,compared with the control,the freezing rate of young panicles in the treatment group decreased significantly by 20.93 percentage point,while the grains yield,1 000 grain weight and dry matter mass increased significantly by 19.38,2.37,54.40 g,respectively.In conclusion,external application of EBR at jointing stage of wheat can improve the frost resistance of wheat and reduce the yield loss of winter wheat caused by low temperature and freezing injury by reducing the content of MDA,increasing the content of Pro,chlorophyll and the expression of stress resistance related genes SOD,POD,CAT,P5CS,and WCS120.
