Abstract:

In order to explore the effects of saline-alkali stress on the physiological and molecular mechanism of Brassica napus L.,using Huayouza 62 as experimental material.The seedlings of Brassica napus L.were treated with different concentrations of compound salt,compound alkali and compound saline-alkali solution.Physiological indexes such as seed germination rate,chlorophyll content,proline content,soluble sugar content and antioxidant enzyme activity in Brassica napus L.leaves were determined.The accumulation of betaine in rape leaves was determined by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC).The key enzyme gene choline monooxygenase gene(CMO)in betaine synthesis pathway was analyzed by qRT-PCR technique.The results showed that the degree of damage to seed germination in artificially simulated saline-alkali solution of different concentrations was compound saline-alkali>alkali>salt.Low concentration saline-alkali solution promoted chlorophyll formation in rape leaves,while high concentration saline-alkali solution inhibited chlorophyll formation,saline-alkali stress significantly increased the contents of proline and soluble sugar,and the contents of proline and soluble sugar in high saline-alkali solution(YJ75,saline-alkali 75 mmol/L)for 21 d were 65.99 and 5.21 times higher than those in the control group,respectively,and the content of malondialdehyde was increased by saline-alkali stress.Saline-alkali stress significantly increased the activity of peroxidase(POD).Compared with the control group,the content of POD in high saline-alkali solution(YJ75)increased by 2.26 times after 21 d,and the content of POD reached the highest value on the 14th day after treatment with compound salt and compound alkali,however, the activity changes of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were not obvious, and the role of species in the process of saline-alkali stress was low.Saline-alkali stress significantly increased the expression of key enzyme gene CMO,thus regulating the accumulation of betaine.In summary,the damage degree of saline-alkali stress to Brassica napus L. was compound saline-alkali > alkali > salt.Under high saline-alkali stress,Brassica napus would accumulate a large amount of betaine to reduce the damage.
