Abstract

Peanut, being moderately salt sensitive, requires efficient management strategies to endure salt stress. A pot experiment was envisaged to evaluate the effect of exogenous calcium chloride (CaCl2) on the underlying physiological and biochemical mechanisms in peanut during salinity stress. Salinity-induced membrane destabilization significantly increased thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) accumulation with susceptible cultivars (TG 37A and GJG 31) experiencing greater oxidative stress. There was a significant reduction in leaf stomatal conductance and net photosynthetic rate (PN), concomitant with the decrease in shoot and root potassium (K+) and shoot calcium (Ca2+) concentrations due to greater accumulation of sodium (Na+). The salt stress alleviating potential of calcium was exhibited by a significant increase in shoot K+/ Na+ ratio along with elevated Ca2+ concentrations, which aided in restricting Na+ accumulation in roots and shoots of calcium-treated, salt-stressed cultivars. This ionic homeostasis was accompanied with a significant increase in membrane stability index with reduced TBARS and H2O2 accumulation, ROS detoxification through elevated total antioxidant activity and increased osmoregulatory compounds such as proline, total phenols and soluble sugars in calcium-treated salt-stressed plants compared to control. The improved pigment retention, stomatal conductance and ionic balance contributed to a significant increase in PN, which was also reflected in the improved yield attributes of the peanut cultivars. Thus, the foliar application of CaCl2 offers a promising approach to alleviate the adverse impact of salt stress in peanut, particularly at 4 dSm−1, which otherwise imposes severe yield losses in the crop.

通过补钙缓解花生盐胁迫
花生对盐有中度敏感性,需要有效的管理策略来抵御盐胁迫。采用盆栽试验研究了盐胁迫下外源氯化钙(CaCl2)对花生生理生化机制的影响。盐诱导的膜失稳显著增加了硫代巴比妥酸活性物质(TBARS)和过氧化氢(H2O2)的积累,敏感品种TG 37A和GJG 31经历了更大的氧化应激。叶片气孔导度和净光合速率(PN)显著降低,同时由于钠(Na+)的大量积累导致茎部和根部钾(K+)和茎部钙(Ca2+)浓度降低。钙处理的盐胁迫品种根部和茎部K+/ Na+比值显著增加,Ca2+浓度显著升高,这有助于限制Na+在根和茎部的积累。与对照相比,钙处理盐胁迫植物的膜稳定性指数显著增加,TBARS和H2O2积累减少,ROS解毒通过提高总抗氧化活性和增加渗透调节化合物如脯氨酸、总酚和可溶性糖。色素潴留、气孔导度和离子平衡的改善显著提高了PN,这也反映在花生品种产量属性的改善上。因此,叶片施用CaCl2提供了一种很有希望的方法来减轻花生盐胁迫的不利影响,特别是在4 dSm−1时,否则会对作物造成严重的产量损失。
