Abstract

By the method of solution culture,wheat was used to investigate the effects of exogenous NO donor SNP on seed germination and seedlings physiological characteristics under Pb2+ stress.The results showed that Pb2+ treatment resulted in significant decreases in seed germination and seedling growth of wheat,and notable reduction in the levels of chlorophyll a,chlorophyll b and chlorophyll fluorescence,25 μmol·L-1 SNP could alleviate the inhibition of Pb2+ on these indexes.No significant changes in the activities of CAT and POD were observed in comparison with the control under Pb2+ stress.However,the application of SNP induced increases of CAT activity and soluble protein content in wheat seedlings under Pb2+ treatment.Therefore,exogenous NO could alleviate the poison of Pb2+ and enhance the adaptation of wheat seedlings to Pb2+ stress.
