以100mmolL^-1NaCI处理耐盐小麦品种德抗961和盐敏感品种鲁麦15各2d,测定其胚芽鞘相对伸长速率及渗透调节能力。结果表明,NaCl处理抑制小麦胚芽鞘的伸长,其相对伸长速率最大值减小,生长最快的时间推后,但胚芽鞘最终长度没有改变;NaCI胁迫使小麦胚芽鞘渗透势下降,德抗961渗透调节能力强于鲁麦15;NaCl胁迫使小麦胚芽鞘Na^+、脯氨酸、总可溶性糖含量明显增加,德抗961增加幅度大于鲁麦15;NaCl胁迫下,德抗961胚芽鞘伸长明显好于鲁麦15,其具有较强渗透调节能力是原因之。因此,一定浓度NaCl处理下小麦胚芽鞘的长度可作为耐盐筛选的有用指标。
Soil salinity severely limited crop production worldwide. Breeding and planting salt-tolerant species were the most effective and economic way for utilizing saline soils. However, lacking of reliable, convenient, inexpensive and quick screening techniques was the limiting factor for salt-tolerant breeding program. It has been shown that coleoptile elongation under drought condition could be used as a useful index to screen drought-tolerant wheat cultivars. In the present study, a salt-tolerant wheat ( Triticum aestivum L. ) cultivar DK961 and a salt-sensitive one LM15 treated with 100 mmol L- 1 NaC1 for two days were used to examine the response of coleoptile elongation to NaC1 stress. Several indexes including radicle and coleoptile length, relative elongation rate (RER), fresh and dry weight, osmotic potential and osmotic adjustment ability, and contents of solutes such as proline, soluble sugars, Na^+ , and K^+ were determined, The results showed that NaC1 stress inhibited the radicle, coleoptile elongations and 100 mmol L^-1 NaC1 was the optimal concentration to show the difference between the two cultivars. NaC1 postponed the maximal elongation date. Interestingly, compared with controls, NaC1 stress did not affect the final coleoptile length of both cultivars. Fresh and dry weights of coleoptile were both decreased and the decrease degree of LM15 was more than that of DK961. Osmotic potentials of coleoptile of both cultivars were decreased by NaC1 stress and osmotic adjustment ability of DK961 was stronger than that of LM15; proline, soluble sugar and Na~ contents in coleoptile of both cultivars were increased by NaC1 stress, and the increase degrees of DK961 were more than those of LM15. However, K^+ content in coleoptile of both cultivars was decreased, and the decrease degree of LM15 was more than that of DK961. These results indicate that the coleoptile of salt-tolerant wheat cultivar (DK961) has a higher ability to maintain K~ in its cells than that of salt-sensitive one (LM15). C
