Abstract:

【Objective】 With the formation of soil salinization, not only causes the resource-wasting, but also restricts the agricultural production. Quinoa has salt-tolerant properties, It can alleviate salt stress. China is the country with the most rare earth content. There is a study that lanthanum may alleviate the effects of salt stress on plants. In this study, quinoa was treated with salt stress, which seed had been soaked with lanthanum nitrate before. The effects of soaking seeds with lanthanum nitrate on seed germination and seedling growth of quinoa under salt stress were examined to find a way to improve salt resistance of the species. 【Method】 In this study, quinoa was used as the research material and greenhouse potted planting method was adopted in order to study the effects of different lanthanum nitrate leaching species (25, 50, 100 mg·L ^-1) on seed germination and seedling growth under different salt stresses (100, 200, 300 mmol·L ^-1 sodium chloride solution). 【Result】(1) When lanthanum nitrate was 50 mg·L ^-1, the effect of quinoa seeds were the optimal, the germination percentage, germination potential, and germination index of quinoa seeds were the highest, and there were significant differences compared with other concentrations. (2) At the same socking concentration, plant height and root length of seedlings decreased with the increase of salt concentrations within 300 mmol·L ^-1 NaCl, while peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), soluble sugar, proline and other physiological and biochemical indexes increased with the increase of salt concentrations. (3) At the same salt concentration, plant height, root length and other growth indicators of quinoa seedlings showed the tendency of first increasing and then decreasing with the increase of soaking concentrations, as well as POD, SOD, soluble sugar, soluble protein, proline and other physiological and biochemical indexes. For MDA, the trends were reversed. (4) Quinoa seedlings survived and grown in the NaCl solutions less than 300 mmol·L ^-1, but optimal concentration was 300 mmol·L ^-1. At the same time 300 mmol·L ^-1 salt concentration, the growth index were the best when lanthanum nitrate was 50 mg·L ^-1.【Conclusion】 Under salt stress, quinoa seeds socked in low concentration solution of lanthanum nitrate could promote the seed germination and the shoot growth, strengthen the antioxidant enzyme activities of seedlings, and improve the content of the osmotic adjustment material, resulting in increasing resistance to salt stress. However, seedling growth was inhabited by high concentration solution of lanthanum nitrate. This study suggested that the resistance of quinoa to salt stress was enhanced by adding adequate lanthanum nitrate.
