Abstract

and MDA and cell membrane permeability, enhanced the root activity. The changes of drought-sensitive 'Fenghe 1' were greater than drought-tolerant 'Xianyu 335'. These results indicated that exogenous Spd had positive effects on the seedlings to capture and converse solar energy, thus promoting photosynthesis and the growth of maize seedlings. It would also enhance the adaptability of seedlings to drought stress by reducing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), increasing the accumulation of osmotic adjustment substances to stabilize the cell membrane system and improving the root vigor. The positive effects of Spd was more obvious for drought-sensitive variety 'Fenghe 1'.
