    In order to accelerate the breeding of pink-tomato varieties,a rapid breeding strategy was used to generate pink-fruited tomato material by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing of SlMYB12.Two adjacent target sites within the first exon of SlMYB12 were selected to construct the CRISPR/Cas9 binary vector, and then the vector was introduced into red-fruited inbred line R18-10C through Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The homozygous mutants without exogenous Cas9 were screened using specific primers and their agronomic traits and fruit nutritional quality were analyzed. Sequencing results showed that three homozygous mutants of different mutation types were obtained and all of which were frame shift mutations caused by base deletion. Compared with wild-type red fruit tomatoes, SlMYB12-edited plants grew and developed normally,and there were no significant difference in plant height,single-fruit weight,total yield per plant,fruit total soluble solid content and lycopene level,but the mature fruit showed pink and the flavonoid naringenin chalcone(NarCh)content of tomato peels was significantly reduced in MYB12-edited plants.In summary,the procedure for the generation of pink-fruited tomato plants through CRISPR/Cas9-mediated targeted mutagenesis of SlMYB12 was set up and new pink-fruited tomato germplasms with stable inheritance were obtained.

    In order to explore the effects of different concentration of exogenous GABA on tomato seedlings dry matter accumulation,root development,antioxidant enzyme activities and photosynthetic characteristics under high temperature stress,the tomato variety Fenteli was selected as the test material,and five treatments,including spraying distilled water (CK),1 mmol/L GABA(T1),5 mmol/L GABA(T2),10 mmol/L GABA(T3)and 20 mmol/L GABA (T4),were set up in this study. Spraying once every two days for two consecutive times. After spraying,the seedlings were exposed to high temperature stress at 40 ℃/35 ℃ (day/night),14 h (light)/10 h (dark)with light intensity of 250 μmol/(m2·s)for 7 days. The results showed that compared with CK,spraying GABA with the concentration of 10 mmol/L or less (T1,T2 and T3)significantly promoted the growth of tomato seedlings,and the plant height,stem thickness,aboveground dry weight and seedling index increased by 4.96%—6.92%,7.65%—19.26%,29.41%—52.94%,20.00%—26.67%,respectively. Noteworthy,compared with CK,T2 treatment significantly increased the total root length,total surface area,total volume and tip numbers of root system by 23.04%,13.95%,11.76% and 18.30%,respectively. Moreover,compared with CK,T2 treatment not only increased the leaves activities of SOD,POD and CAT in (increasing by 22.58%,51.73% and 148.80% respectively),but also decreased the relative conductivity and malondialdehyde content (decreasing by 12.84% and 21.89%),and thus significantly increasing the photosynthetic rate,stomatal conductance and transpiration rate of leaves (increasing by 81.38%,36.19% and 41.26% respectively)by ensuring the integrity of the cell membrane structure and function of leaves. However,there were no significance differences for the dry matter accumulation,photosynthetic characteristics and relative conductivity of tomato seedlings under T4 and CK treatments,and even the former inhibited the root development. In a word,our study demonstrated that foliar spraying with an appropriate GABA concentration could alleviate the inhibition of photosynthesis under high temperature stress through protecting the integrity of leaf cell membrane by improving capacity of leaf osmotic adjustment and antioxidant enzyme activities. Additionally,spraying GABA could also improve the heat tolerance of tomato seedlings by promoting dry matter accumulation and root development. The effect of GABA with 5 mmol/L was the best in this study.

    In order to select rotation crops suitable for tomato in southeastern of Shanxi Province,we planted six cropsrotation patterns,namely maize(LVZm),zucchini(LVCp),peanut(LVAh),green onion(LVAf),okra(LVAe),and cucumber(LVCs),taking treatment with continuous tomato cultivation(LLLe,CK)as control. The changes in the microbial community structure and diversity in the ITS1 region of soil fungi were analyzed by Illumina Miseq high-throughput sequencing technology. At the same time,the quality indicators(soluble total sugar,organic acid content,sugar-acid ratio,Vc content,soluble protein,soluble solids,lycopene content,nitrate)and yield indicators(single fruit weight,yield)of the following tomatoes were measured. The results showed that Ascomycote was the dominant phyla in the 7 treatments,and the species and abundance were quite different,LVCs,LVZm,LVAh and LVAe increased the diversity index of fungal,while LVCp decreased the index. LVZm had better taste;LVAe and LLLe had the highest Vc content;no significant difference in soluble protein content;the content of soluble solids were the highest in LLLe and LVCp;the content of lycopene was highest in LVCp;LVAe had the highest nitrate content. The yields significantly increased in LVAe and LVCp patterns,and the quality of single fruit significantly increased in LVCp rotation. Principal component analysis(PCA)showed that the scores of quality and yield among different patterns from high to low were LVCp>LVAe>LLLe> LVAh>LVAf> LVZm>LVCs. In summary,crop rotation changes the soil fungal community structure,affects the index of the fungal,the quality and yield of tomatoes in subsequent crops. Based on various factors,zucchini and okra are the dominant rotation crops suitable for the growth of local tomatoes.

    To investigate the effects of corn straw as the main component of the cultivation substrate on crop growth and fruit quality under brackish water and fresh water irrigation. Four treatments were designed, including the pure corn stalk(S-control), biochar(SB), S added with earthworm compost(SE), biochar and earthworm compost(SBE).Brackish water and fresh water irrigation were applied with each of the four substrate treatments, respectively, leading to a total of eight available treatments. The results showed that with same cultivation substrates, irrigational water had insignificant effect on the relative growth rates of plant height and stem volume at seedling stage. Compared with fresh water irrigation, brackish water irrigation had more positive effect on increasing the relative growth rate of plant height at later stage in SE treatment groups, with a 79.49% more increase in the relative growth rate. However, there were no significant differences in total biomass and root shoot ratio between SE-treated plants irrigated by fresh water and those irrigated by brackish water Brackish water irrigation promoted photosynthetic rate and transpiration rate compared to the fresh water irrigation in the S and SB treatments. Moreover, transpiration rate was reduced in SE, WUE was increased in SBE and SB. SB had the best effect of alleviating brackish water stress. Under the same culture substrate, brackish water significantly increased the soluble solid content compared to fresh water irrigation, and the highest soluble solid content was detected in SB, which was increased by 5.56%. SE and SB treatments significantly increased soluble sugar content in brackish water compared with fresh water irrigation by 53.84% and 50.15%, respectively, but there was no significant difference in yield. Compared with S treatment, SE increased transpiration rate under fresh water irrigation and had the highest Fv/Fm. SBE decreased the root-shoot ratio and SB increased the water use efficiency under fresh and brackish water irrigation. Compared with S treatment, SB treatment had the most significant effect on increasing soluble solid under brackish water irrigation, while SE treatment had the most significant effect on decreasing organic acid content and increasing soluble sugar content. Therefore, adding biochar and organic matter under different water irrigation can promote tomato growth, alleviate salt stress and improve fruit quality.

    To clarify the defense responses of Bemisia tabaci after feeding on ToCV-infected tomato, RNA-Seq analysis and qRT-PCR were performed to explore changes that occurred with the internal detoxification and protective enzyme systems as well as with the gene expression and metabolic functions 6, 12, 24, 48 hours respectively after B. tabaci MED fed on both ToCV-infected and uninfected tomato plants. The results showed that the transcription level of detoxification enzymes P450, GST, CarE and protective enzymes SOD, POD, CAT made different changes when B. tabaci MED feeding on ToCV-infected tomato at different times. The genes expression levels of P450, GST, CarE, SOD and POD tended to be up-regulated with the exception of CAT, among which P450 and SOD played the most major roles. Through GO annotation and KEGG function analysis of DEGs, it was found that biological function and metabolic pathways of DEGs of B. tabaci MED after feeding on ToCV-infected tomato for 12 h were different from other time points. After feeding for 12 h, B. tabaci MED mainly decomposed protein through lysosomes, while biosynthesis of amino acids to proteins were carried out through ribosomes at other times. In conclusion, B. tabaci that feeding on ToCV-infected tomato might have caused changes on the gene expression of detoxification and protective enzymes, and regulated the autoimmune response to ToCV invasion through lysosomal pathway. Among them, 12 hours feeding period might be the critical point for B. tabaci to interact with ToCV. The results here are helpful to further clarify the defense mechanism of B. tabaci toward ToCV infections, enrich the interaction theory of B. tabaci -ToCV-host, and provide a scientific basis for effective control of ToCV in the field.

The results showed that, the order of crop nutrient uptake was:K2O > N > Ca > P2O5 > Mg > Fe > Zn > Mn > B > Cu,the uptake ratios of N:P2O5:K2O in the AW and WS seasons were 1:0.4:2.1 and 1:0.3:1.2,and the demand ratios of N:P2O5:K2O in the seedling stage,flowering stage and picking stage of the whole growth stage were 1:0.5:1.9,1:0.4:1.8,and 1:0.3:1.7,respectively. For each ton of tomato fruit produced,the crop uptakes of the N,P2O5,K2O,Ca,and Mg were 2.5-2.6 kg,0.9-1.0 kg,3.3-5.4 kg,2.2-2.3 kg,0.4-0.5 kg,respectively,and the crop uptakes of Fe,Zn,Mn,B and Cu were 18.0-20.3 g,4.1-12.6 g,5.0-7.3 g,2.8-4.3 g,1.7-3.4 g,respectively. The crop uptakes of nitrogen phosphorus and potassium,calcium and magnesium, and iron manganese and zinc were mainly concentrated in the picking stage,the ratios were 53.6%,47.7%,50.5%,respectively;and the crop uptakes of boron and copper were concentrated in the flowering stage (36.6%). The nutrients distribution in the tomato stem and leaf,and fruit were different, nitrogen,phosphorus and potassium were mainly carried out by tomato fruit (62.9%-73.7%),and the middle and trace elements were mainly carried by tomato stem and leaf (64.8%-91.2%). In summary,during the fertilizer period,in the seedling stage it should be based on a comprehensive nutrient-based base fertilizer, the real-time and effective supply of nutrients during the flowering stage,and the nutrient supply of medium and trace elements should be appropriately increased. Returning tomato straw to the field was beneficial to reuse of medium and trace elements,reduced waste of resources caused by excessive fertilization,and effectively alleviated soil quality problems.

    To ascertain the effect of applying bio-organic fertilizer for 4 consecutive years on tomato fruit and soil biological characteristics, physiological and biochemical methods and high-throughput sequencing technology were combined to analyze its regulation effect on tomato fruit quality, soil nutrient content and microbial community structure.The results showed that,with chemical fertilizer replaced by bioorganic fertilizer, the sugar acid ratio, content of Vc and lycopene of tomatoes were significantly increased by 11.1%, 7.2% and 12.4% respectively. Soil nutrient measurement exhibited that, the high-efficiency nitrogen-fixing bacteria contained in bioorganic fertilizer could meet the nitrogen demand of tomato growth, and soil available phosphorus, available potassium and organic matter content were significantly increased by 147.0%, 38.8% and 35.6% respectively. High-throughput sequencing showed that, application of bioorganic fertilizer for four consecutive years could improve the relative abundance of soil Streptomyces, Ureibacillus and Bacillus, among which the activation effect on B. asahii was most significant. In addition,Coverage and Simpson index of tomato-planted soil microbial treated by bioorganic fertilizer for four consecutive years were both higher than those treated by common chemical fertilizer, which indicated that the bioorganic fertilizer containing high-efficiency nitrogen-fixing bacteria could improve soil microbe coverage and dominance to some extent. Obviously, continuous application of bioorganic fertilizer is helpful to improve tomatoes fruit quality, soil fertility and soil micro-ecological environment.

    In order to determine the bacterial quorum sensing (QS) signaling molecule, N -acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) induce resistance to fungal diseases in plants. Tomato was used as the test material, Botrytis cinerea was used as the pathogen indicator bacteria, and AHLs signal molecules with different side chain length and side chain modification were pretreated to inoculate the pathogen bacteria, and the long chain signal molecule N-3-oxo-tetradecanoyl was found. 3OC14-HSL had the best resistance to gray mold. Real-time quantitative PCR detection of disease resistance genes revealed that the signal molecule 3OC14-HSL pretreatment significantly induced up-regulation of the genes PI1 and PI2 in the tomato and jasmonic acid (JA) signaling pathway compared with the untreated control group; However, the NPR1 gene related to the salicylic acid signaling (SA) pathway was significantly down-regulated, but the PR1 gene was not significantly changed. Further DAB staining, determination of hydrogen peroxide content, and detection of peroxidase (POD) and superoxide dismutase(SOD)enzyme activities revealed that 3OC14-HSL pretreatment caused a large amount of reactive oxygen species in tomatoes compared to the untreated control group. 3OC14-HSL also could maintain high POD, SOD activity. These results indicated that the long-chain signaling molecule N- 3-oxo-tetradecanoyl-homoserine(3OC14-HSL) could induce resistance to gray mold of tomato, and the resistance effect might be related to the jasmonic acid signal pathway.

    In order to screen the suitable irrigation height for the tomato plug seedlings under ebb-and-flow irrigation, the tomato variety Zhongza 105 was taken as material to raise seedlings in plug during summer and winter.Under ebb-and-flow irrigation,the tomato variety Zhongza 105 was taken as material to raise seedlings in plug during summer and winter. Under different feeding height(1, 2, 3 cm), by comparing the water absorption rate of substrate, the seedling growth indexes, root vigor, as well as the water and fertilizer use efficiency, the suitable irrigation height was screened. The results showed that the water absorption rate of substrate increased with irrigation height. Both in summer and winter, under 3 cm of irrigation height, the shoot growth indexes including leaf aera and shoot dry weight were significantly higher than those under 1,2 cm, while the root growth indexes as well as the root-shoot ratio and seedling index showed no significant difference among three irrigation heights. Under 3 cm of irrigation height, the root vigor was significantly lower than that under 1,2 cm. In summer, under 1,2 cm, the water use efficiency was higher than that under 3 cm, and the nitrogen use efficiency showed highest under 2 cm of irrigation height. In winter, the water use efficiency and nitrogen use efficiency was higher at 2,3 cm. Based on these above indexes, for tomato plug seedlings under ebb-and-flow irrigation, both in summer and winter, the suitable irrigation height was 2 cm, which could not only ensure the seedlings growth and root vigor,but also improve the use efficiency of water and fertilizer.

    In order to explore the optimal planting time for tomato, and propose the technical measures for tomato yield. The experiments of 12 planting dates were performed from February 27, 2017 to January 27, 2018 to observe environmental factors,growth period and corresponding production of tomato in each growth period.Then,we further analyzed the correlation between environmental factors and yield at different growth stage. The results showed that:the whole growth period of tomato planted on April 27,2017 and May 27,2017 was the shortest,105 d and it was shortened by 41.67% compared with the whole growth period of tomato planted on September 27,2017. The mean maximum temperature, mean minimum temperature, mean temperature and daytime mean temperature, mean temperature at night,mean temperature difference, mean soil temperature, mean light intensity and mean relative humidity are key environmental factors for the growth period of tomato. The mean minimum temperature and mean temperature were significantly and negatively correlated with tomato yield from planting dates to blossoming dates, with correlation coefficients of -0.76, respectively. Mean temperature difference, mean light intensity, mean maximum temperature and mean temperature,respectively,were significantly and positively correlated with tomato yield from harvesting dates to uprooting dates, with correlation coefficients of 0.90, 0.81, 0.75 and 0.71, respectively.So temperature is a key environmental factor affecting tomato yield. According to the comparison of the yields of each treatment, the highest production in spring appeared in the planting dates of January 27, 2018,which was 127 437.45 kg/ha, followed by December 27,2017 and February 27, 2017 which were 117 674.25,115 912.95 kg/ha respectively. The planting dates of autumn sorghum was the highest on August 27, 2017 which was 62 007.90 kg/ha, followed by September 27,2017,which was 54 532.95 kg/ha. This indicates that the best planting dates of spring tomato in Ningxia greenhouse is from late December of the first year to early February of the second year, which environmental factors are conducive to the formation of tomato yield. The best planting dates of autumn tomato is from late August to early September. During this growth period, the yield of tomato can be increased by reducing the temperature during the planting dates-blossoming dates and increasing the temperature and light intensity during from harvesting dates to uprooting dates.

    To explore whether the biochar application could reduce the negative effect of excessive nitrogen fertilization on tomato growth, a pot experiment was carried out using randomized block design with two factors (application rates of nitrogen and biochar) under three levels. The application rates were 100, 200,400 mg/kg of nitrogen, and 0, 2.5, 5 g/kg of biochar, respectively. The dry weight and fresh weight of stems, leaves and fruits of tomato, the amount of irrigation water and the water-nitrogen use efficiency were measured and calculated. The results demonstrated that the dry weight of stems and leaves and the accumulated irrigation water amount decreased significantly in the treatment of high nitrogen rate, compared with the treatment of low nitrogen rate.The nitrogen use efficiency decreased significantly along with the increase of N application rate. Compared with the treatment without biochar application, the use of biochar significantly increased the dry matter of leaves and fruit, the accumulated irrigation water amount and the water-nitrogen use efficiency. It suggested that the application of biochar could reduce the negative effect of excessive N fertilization on tomato growth.

    In order to identify the function of SlETR6 gene in tomato under different abiotic stresses, the SlETR6 gene was cloned by RT-PCR from Solanum lycopersicum, and the phylogenetic tree was clustered based on its amino acids by MEGA 5.0 soft. The temporal and spatial (included root, leaf, flower, and fruit in different stage) expression patterns of SlETR6 were analyzed by Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR), and the relative expression level of SlETR6 gene was analyzed by qPCR under high salt stress, high temperature, low temperature and drought stress during tomato seedling development. The results showed that SlETR6 contained 2 265 bp ORFs, encoded 754 amino acid residues. The protein SlETR6 with a molecular mass of 80.05 ku and isoelectric point of 7.28, and had a closer relationship with Solanum tuberosum ETR2-like. Promoter analysis revealed that SlETR6 contained several stress-responsive elements involved in heat, drought, anaerobic, light, ethylene, salicylic acid, and gibberellin signaling. qPCR analysis showed that the SlETR6 was constitutively expressed in all examined tissues, including seed, root, flower, leaf and fruit,and it showed a higher level in flower and breaker fruit. SlETR6 was up-regulated under high salt stress 6 h compare to control, and the expression level was the highest at 12 h under stress, then return to the normal. The transcription level of SlETR6 was up-regulated significantly under high-temperature stress. Drought stress could significantly up-regulated the expression of SlETR6 in the early stage, and the expression level was the highest at 1 h under stress. These results suggested that SlETR6 might function as an stress-responsive gene under high salt stress, high temperature and drought stress during tomato development. This study provided a potential novel candidate for abiotic research in tomato.

The 4 leaves seedlings were planted in the nutrition bowls(Model 30 cm×28 cm, with moss peat as media) for 6 treatments(2 nitrogen level and 3 irrigation level), each with 40 pots and replicated 4 times for total of 960 plants. The experiment was from Apr.17 to Aug.3, 2017 for 109 days. Plants samples were taken every 10 days to measuring the growth status. The results showed, compared with the treatment of low nitrogen(N1), it was increased by 21.15%, 26.57% and 35.54% of growth rate, plant total dry matter and fruit dry matter under high nitrogen level(N2), respectively, and the proportion of fruit dry matter within plant dry matter was increased by 4%. Under the N1 level, more dry matter was distributed to the root section. Compared with N1, the proportion of increased dry matter allocated to the fruit in N2 was increased by about 8.24% with each 1 g increased of cumulative nitrogen application. The more irrigation, the better for plants grew in this experiment. Compared with low water level(W1), the total dry matter was increased by 23.55% and 13.29%, fruit dry matter by 19.75% and 16.28% in high and medium water irrigation level(W3, W2), respectively. There were about 66%-70% of increased plant dry matter production allocated to the fruit with additional 1 L irrigation amount. Plant achieved the highest dry matter accumulation under the treatment N2W3. Compared with N1W1, the total dry matter of per plant and the dry matter of fruit per plant were increased by 57.24% and 61.58% with N2W3. Under the same nitrogen level, the higher the irrigation water, the higher the nitrogen use efficiency was, especially at high nitrogen level. Nitrogen use efficiency in N2W3 increased by 28.58% compared with that of N2W1. Under the same water level, the higher nitrogen application, the higher the water use efficiency was, especially under high water treatment. The water use efficiency of N2W3 was increased by 33.97% compared with that of N1W3. It was concluded that once the irrigation water was increased at high nitrogen level, or the nitrogen level was increased at high water irrigation, the production rate, the total plant dry matter and the fruit dry matter were increased. The interaction of water irrigation and nitrogen application were promoted each other, and the treatment of N2W3 was suggested the best choice in this research range.

    To investigate the influence of oxygen concentrations in the root system on tomato development in hydroponics cultivation,two tomato cultivars,which called Henan 4 and Fenzhenzhu,were grown in nutrient solution under four dissolve oxygen (DO) concentrations,which were hypoxia (0.5-2.0 mg/L; Nitrogen treatment),normoxia (7.0-8.0 mg/L; Air treatment),supersaturate oxygen (14.0-17.0 mg/L; Oxygen treatment) and no aeration as control (6.4-1.2 mg/L). Plant biomass,root vitality,photosynthetic pigment contents and growth indexes were investigated at seedling stage. The result showed that with the increase of oxygen concentration, the growth of seedlings was better, and the root vitality of seedlings increased, but photosynthetic pigment contents reduced. Compared with CK, normoxia and saturated oxygen treatment significantly increased the longest root length and the dry and fresh quality of tomato seedlings at the end of treatment. On the 18th day, for the Henan 4 which compared with CK, the total dry weight increased 24.00% and 74.86% under normoxia and saturated oxygen treatment, respectively. And the longest root length increased 67.23% and 230.55%, respectively. However, the total dry weight reduced 3.43%, and the longest root length reduced 1.63% under hpoxia treatment. The roots and shoots were more flourishing and biomass were the highest under saturated oxygen, thus improving the oxygen concentration in rhizosphere could be beneficial to the growth and yield of tomato.

    Using single factor randomized block experiment,make saline water (EC=3 mS/cm)irrigation directly as control,to study effect on contents of mineral elements of tomato plants'roots,stems,leaves at fruit-set period,the early stage of full bearing period,later stage of full bearing period and different growing periods fruits of different irrigation methods of saline water.Results showed that:①These ten kinds of mineral elements in tomato roots,stems,leaves and fruits all showed regular changes.Six kinds of mineral elements contents in roots,stems,leaves were N,K,Ca greater than P,Mg,Na,in four kinds of microelements,the Fe,Mn was higher,next was Zn,Cu was the lowest;Except K,young fruits had the highest contents of five kinds of macroelement,the content of K was the highest in mature fruits.Microelements' content in fruits were Fe,Zn was higher,Cu,Mn was lower.In fruits,K was positive correlation with the other nine kinds of mineral elements.Na,Mg,Mn was antagonism with Zn,Cu,P. ② Saline water irrigation increased Na content of tomato root, stem, leaf and fruit in quality formation period, direct irrigation with saline water increased the maximum. Compared with freshwater irrigation, the total N content of all parts of tomato plant is also improved under saline water irrigation directly, but it was not conducive to the absorption and accumulation of N, P and 4 kinds trace elements of tomato fruit. Fresh water irrigation is beneficial to improve the content of P, K and Zn in each part of the plant, and promote the uptake and accumulation of N, P, K and Fe, Zn of tomato fruit. The content of Ca, Mg and Fe in each part of the plant can be improved when use saline water and fresh water rotation irrigation according to plant growth periods, Ca and Mg content of tomato at young fruit period and mature period are also higher under saline water freshwater irrigation in sequence and rotation irrigation according to plant growth periods. The contents of Cu and Mn in each part of plant are higher when use mixed water irrigation and saline water fresh water irrigation in sequence, so the content of Cu under mixed water irrigation and the content of Mn under saline water fresh water irrigation in sequence in the fruit are also higher at fruit quality formation period. So,using saline water irrigation in a short time or decreased the EC of saline water (rotation irrigation,mixing water irrigation)could avoid the negative influence of saline water and supplement the necessary elements of plants,they were N,Ca,Mg and Fe,Mn,Cu and so on.

    To investigate the alleviation effect of exogenous hydrogen sulfide on processing tomato seedling growth under salt stress, two processing tomato cultivars (KT-7 and KT-32) with different salt tolerances and treated with different concentrations (20, 50, 100, 150 μmol/L) sodium hydrosulfide processing tomato seedling under 250 mmol/L NaCl stress.The low concentrations of sodium hydrosulfide were used to spray on the leaves of seedling, and to study the seedling biomass, photosynthetic pigment content, relative water content, root activity, free proline accumulation, autioxidant enzyme(SOD, POD, CAT) activities, electrolytic leakage and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents.According to the results, under the salt stress, exogenous H2S treatment significantly improved the processing tomato seedling biomass, photosynthetic pigment content, relative water content, root activity, proline content and autioxidant enzyme activities. However, electrolytic leakage and MDA contents had a significantly drop. Among them, 50 μmol/L concentration had the best effect. Compared with salt stress alone, 50 μmol/L NaHS increased seedling biomass, chlorophyll a content, chlorophyll b content, carotenoids content, SOD activities by 30.8%-66.7%, 61.8%, 56.3%,57.0%, 9.1%, respectively, however,the electrolytic leakage and MDA contents descend 15 percentage points and 23.7%, in KT-7. 50 mmol/L NaHS increased seedling biomass, chlorophyll a content, chlorophyll b content, carotenoids content, SOD activities by 24.0%-96.4%, 49.8%, 52.0%, 46.7%, 10.2%,respectively, however,the electrolytic leakage and MDA contents descend 12 percentage points and 24.2%, in KT-32.These illustrated that the exogenous H2S regulated the antioxidant levels in leaves to reduce oxidative damage on processing tomato seedling during salt stress that improved the processing tomato seedling adaptability to salt stress. This study provided the basis for the further study of H2S function on processing tomato salt stress response mechanism.
