Abstract: 【Objective】Phosphorus is one of the key elements of plant growth and development. Phosphorus deficiency can seriously affect crop yield and quality. Fulvic acid, as a natural organic compound, can promote plant growth and improve plant stress resistance. In order to ascertain the physiological regulatory mechanisms of fulvic acid on stress tolerance of tomato seedlings against phosphate deficiency, we will execute this experiment to explain the mitigative mechanisms of “genetic phosphate deficiency” by fulvic acid in tomato seedlings. It has launched the experiment to study on physiological control of tomato seedlings adapting to low phosphorus stress by fulvic acid. 【Method】 Tomato cultivar of ‘JinPeng No.1’ was used as the tested cultivar, and Hogland nutrient solution hydroponics was used in this experiment. When the tomato seedlings grew to three leaves, they were moved to the hydroponic basin for seven days. We studied the roles of applying different concentrations of exogenous fulvic acid (0, 0.04, 0.08, 0.12, 0.16, and 0.20 g·L-1; T0-T5 ) on the growth of tomato seedlings, root development, ability of photosynthesis, uptake and distribution of phosphate, accumulation and secretion of organic acid, and so on under hydroponic environment of phosphate deficiency.【Result】With the increase of the amount of fulvic acid (T1-T5), the physiological indexes of tomato seedlings showed a trend of rising first and then decreasing under low-phosphorus stress. Application of fulvic acid to 0.08 g·L-1 had a significant effect on increasing ratio of root to shoot; improving chlorophyll content, photosynthetic performance of leaves, enhancing phosphorus accumulation, distribution and transport in different tissues of tomato,phosphorus transporter-related gene's expression (PT1 and PHO1). PT1 can promote the roots of tomato seedlings to the environment in the uptake of phosphate alleviate low phosphorus stress and PHO1 can promote phosphate from root to stem and leaf distribution in order to effectively alleviate the shoot phosphorus deficiency. It can also improve the accumulation and secretion of organic acid (oxalate, malate, citrate, succinate, and tartrate), reducing the roots of anaerobic respiration products of lactic acid and acetic acid, promoting the proton pump gene (HA1) expression that can effectively change the environment of insoluble phosphorus to soluble phosphate and increased soluble phosphate content in the environment to promote plant root phosphorus content, improving growth- and development-related gene's expression (GRAS1) as well as decreasing the anthocyanin accumulation. 【Conclusion】Adding fulvic acid at a certain concentration under low-phosphorus stress can significantly improve shoot growth and root development of tomato seedlings. It indicates that the addition of fulvic acid can alleviate the phosphorus deficiency symptoms of plants to a certain extent and reveal the regulation of fulvic acid physiological mechanism of tomato actively against phosphorus deficiency.
