Abstract:

In order to explore the mechanism and technology of alleviating "high temperature forcing ripening" of the upper leaves of flue-cured tobacco by different exogenous substances, a field warming shed was built to treat the upper leaves of flue-cured tobacco at high temperature at mature stage. The leaves were treated with water (H2O), salicylic acid (SA), melatonin (MT) and 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA) under natural climate growth (CK) and high temperature stress (HT), respectively. The effects of exogenous substances on photosynthesis and antioxidant properties of the upper leaves of flue-cured tobacco at mature stage were studied under high temperature stress. The responses of upper leaves to high temperature stress were compared under different exogenous substances. The results showed that the photosynthesis and antioxidant capacity of the upper leaves were inhibited by high temperature stress, thus affecting the accumulation of photosynthetic products in leaves. The correlation analysis showed that leaf forcing rate and leaf yield were significantly correlated with a number of photosynthetic indexes (net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, transpiration rate), antioxidant capacity indexes (superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, catalase, lipoxygenase, total antioxidant capacity), and photosynthetic products (total sugar, reducing sugar). After the application of exogenous substances to high temperature stressed tobacco leaves, the forcing rate of tobacco leaves decreased significantly. It was concluded that leaf spraying SA, MT and 6-BA could effectively improve the operation efficiency of photosynthetic apparatus, antioxidant enzyme activity and osmotic regulatory substance content in the upper leaves of flue-cured tobacco under high temperature stress, maintain the stability of leaf cell membrane structure, and reduce the forced maturing rate to ensure the tobacco yield and quality. Among them, the exogenous substance treatment with the best alleviating effect was 0.05 g/L 6-BA. It was followed by 0.02 g/L MT and 0.50 g/L SA.
