Abstract
Abstract Salinity commonly affects photosynthesis and crop production worldwide. However, some studies have shown that hydrogen peroxide seed priming can increase the tolerance of plants to salt stress. In this context, this study aimed to test the hypothesis that the H2O2 seed priming can improve photosynthetic efficiency in sunflower plants under salt stress. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design, with four replicates. Six treatments were tested: control (deionized water); salt control (100 mM NaCl); 0.1 mM H2O2 (36 h) + 100 mM NaCl; 1 mM H2O2 (24 h) + 100 mM NaCl; 10 mM H2O2 (12 h) + 100 mM NaCl; and 100 mM H2O2 (12 h) + 100 mM NaCl. Compared to the control treatment, leaf, stem and root dry mass of stressed plants showed 73, 76, and 71% reduction, respectively. However, this effect was less pronounced in plants whose seeds were primed with H2O2. After five weeks, H2O2 seed priming increased the CO2 assimilation rate by 26%, instantaneous carboxylation efficiency by 38%, potential quantum yield and quantum yield of photochemical quenching of photosystems II by 22%, electron rate transport by 43%, and the chlorophyll b content by 71%. In addition, it reduced the non-photochemical quenching parameters by 22% compared to plants under salt control treatment.
期刊介绍:
Arid Land Research and Management, a cooperating journal of the International Union of Soil Sciences , is a common outlet and a valuable source of information for fundamental and applied research on soils affected by aridity. This journal covers land ecology, including flora and fauna, as well as soil chemistry, biology, physics, and other edaphic aspects. The journal emphasizes recovery of degraded lands and practical, appropriate uses of soils. Reports of biotechnological applications to land use and recovery are included. Full papers and short notes, as well as review articles and book and meeting reviews are published.
