Abstract:
      This experiment investigated the effects of nitric oxide(NO) on alfalfa seedling under drought stress.The results showed that 0.1 mmol/L sodium nitroprusside(SNP) treatment could alleviate the rise of alfalfa seedling membrane permeability;the activity of catalase(CAT) enhanced first and declined then.SNP treatment could enhance the activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD) and peroxydase(POD),and decline of chlorophyll content and chlorophyll fluorescence parameter Fv/Fm and Fv/Fo of alfalfa seedling.These results indicated exogenous NO may improve the alfalfa seedling drought resistance.
