Abstract
A sand culture experiment was conducted to study the effects of nitric oxide(NO) donor sodium nitroprusside(SNP) on the growth,leaf active oxygen metabolism,and leaf osmotica accumulation of ryegrass(Lolium perenne L.) seedlings under NaHCO3 stress.Under the stress of 100 mmol NaHCO3·L-1,applying 60 μmol·L-1 of SNP could alleviate the seedling's growth inhibition,increase the leaf O2-· generation rate and H2O2 and malondialdehyde contents,promote the leaf superoxide dismutase,guaiacol peroxidase,ascorbate peroxidase,and plasma membrane H+-ATPase activities,increase the leaf glutathione,soluble sugar,soluble protein,and proline contents and K+/Na+ ratio,and decrease the leaf catalase activity and ascorbic acid content.Little effects were observed on the leaf free amino content.These results suggested that SNP could alleviate the damage of alkali stress on Lolium perenne seedling leaves via activating the antioxidant system activity,promoting the osmotica accumulation,and improving the Na+ and K+ balance,and accordingly,promote the alkali resistance of the ryegrass plant.
