Abstract:

This study investigated the regulatory effects of exogenous brassinosteroids (BR) on mung bean seedlings under saline-alkali stress. Three genotypes (?Lüfeng 2?, ?Nenlü 4?, and ?Zhonglü 27?) were used, with BR applied at concentrations of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mg/L. The results showed that saline-alkali stress inhibited root growth, reduced nutrient uptake, decreased photosynthetic pigment content, and lowered photosynthetic capacity, leading to reduced dry matter accumulation. The content of photosynthetic pigments in seedlings stage decreased, and their photosynthetic capacity weakened, resulting in a reduction in dry matter accumulation. Spraying BR treatment could significantly increase the chlorophyll content of mung bean seedlings stage. Under the treatment of 1.5 m/L, the total root length and root surface area of the underground part significantly increased. Meanwhile, by regulating the enhancement of the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT) in the plant body, and the increase in the contents of osmotic adjustment substances such as soluble protein, proline, and soluble sugar, the damage caused by the saline-alkali environment was significantly reduced. This treatment also enhanced the activity of antioxidant enzymes and increased the content of osmotic adjustment substances, thereby greatly reducing the damage caused by the saline-alkali environment.

Key words: Mung bean, Saline-alkali stress, Brassinosteroids, Seedling growth, Chlorophyll content, Antioxidant enzyme activity
