Abstract:
Objective: To study the effects of exogenous trehalose on the growth and total flavonoids content of licorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis) seedlings under NaCl stress. Methods: Using licorice seedlings as the material, the effects of NaCl stress on physiological growth, enzyme activity, ion content, osmotic regulation and total flavonoid content of licorice seedlings were studied in this experiment, Microsoft Excel 2010 was used for data processing and analysis, and SPSS19.0 statistical software was used for data analysis of variance. Results: Trehalose (10-20 mmol/L) significantly reduced the damage of NaCl to licorice seedlings, and the effect was the best when the concentration of exogenous trehalose was 15 mmol/L. Under NaCl stress, when exogenous trehalose concentration was 15 mmol/L, the growth of licorice seedlings was the most exuberant and the growth amount increased the most, and the K+ and K+/Na+ concentrations that affected the osmotic regulation of licorice seedlings increased the most, while the concentrations of Na+ and Cl- were decreased compared with those without NaCl stress. When the concentration of exogenous trehalose was 15 mmol/L, the activity of antioxidant enzymes in licorice seedlings under NaCl stress could be improved, and the content of light and chlorophyll in plant cells under NaCl stress could be increased. When the concentration of exogenous trehalose was 15 mmol/L, the contents of soluble sugar, proline and cellular regulatory substance MDA in licorice seedlings under NaCl stress could be reduced. Conclusion: The application of exogenous trehalose with appropriate concentration under NaCl stress can promote the growth of licorice seedlings and the accumulation of effective components, reduce the harm of salt damage to the growth of licorice, and enhance the growth ability of Licorice under NaCl stress.
