Abstract:

Adzuki bean cultivar Pearl Red was used as the test material in pot under portable rainproof shed, and normal water supply as control (80% field water holding), melatonin treatment under drought stress (100μmol/L melatonin was sprayed on the day of water control beginning, soil water content was gradually regulated and maintained 50% field capacity), drought stress treatment (equal amount of water was sprayed on the day of water control beginning, soil water content was gradually regulated and maintained 50% field capacity), to study effects of melatonin on drought resistance, photosynthetic physiology, morphology and yield of adzuki bean under drought stress. The results showed that melatonin could significantly increase antioxidant enzyme activity and infiltration regulators, decrease reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malonaldehyde contents, and increase plant height, stem diameter, leaf area and dry matter accumulation under drought stress. Melatonin significantly increased the content of photosynthetic pigment, photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters and carbohydrates (sucrose, fructose, soluble sugar) in adzuki bean leaves under drought stress. The application of exogenous melatonin increased the number of pods and grains per plant by 2.18% and 4.88%, respectively, compared with drought stress. It was concluded that 100μmol/L melatonin spraying on leaf surface could improve the drought resistance of adzuki bean, reduce the inhibition of photosynthesis of adzuki bean by drought stress, promote the growth of adzuki bean seedling and increase yield.

Key words: Adzuki bean, Drought stress, Melatonin, Photosynthesis
