Abstract:

In order to analyze the salt tolerance of ScALDH21 transgenic cotton at seedling stage,T4 transgenic ScALDH21 cotton lines and its recipient Xinnongmian 1 was used as the research material,and the research were executed under field and greenhouse conditions.In field condition,the plant materials were planted with 0.4%,0.5% and 0.6% salt soil in stripe pots,respectively.The growth phenotype,the chlorophyll content and survival rate of each transgenic lines and its recipient under different salt concentrations were observed and monitored,and their net photosynthetic rate,stomatal conductance,transpiration rate and instantaneous water use efficiency were measured.In greenhouse condition,the contents of MDA,POD activity,lignin,Na+,K+ and Na+/K+ were determined after 150 mmol/L NaCl and water treatment respectively.Compared with the recipient cotton,the survival rate,chloroplast content,net photosynthetic rate,stomatal conductance,transpiration rate and instantaneous water use efficiency of ScALDH21 transgenic cotton were increased under salt stress.MDA content decreased,POD enzyme activity increased,lignin content increased.From the aspect of morphology and physiological indexes, it was verified that the transgenic ScALDH21 cotton improved the salt tolerance of the plant at the seedling stage.
