Abstract: |
In order to evaluate salt tolerance of different maize genotypes, 25 varieties/lines were planted in saline-alkali land subjected to salt stress in northern Ningxia, Yinchuan, with the soil salt contents being 2.337, 3.044 g·kg-1 and 6.935 g·kg-1). Based on phenotypes and physiological indexes measured at big flare stage, salt tolerance of the 25 maize genotypes were evaluated through principal component analysis and the subordinate function method. The results showed that plant height, stem diameter, relative chlorophyll content (SPAD values) were significantly decreased with the increase of salt stress. At mild stress (the soil salt content was 2.337 g·kg-1), there was a significant positive correlation between plant height, stem diameter and SPAD. Under severe stress (the soil salt content was 6.935 g·kg-1), there was a significant positive correlation between stem diameter, SPAD values and canopy temperature, and canopy temperature had a significantly negative correlation with superoxide dismutase (SOD). Membrane permeability and SOD were extremely significant positive correlated, and other agronomic traits and physiological indexes were not significantly correlated. According to comprehensive evaluation, the salt tolerance of maize varieties was divided into highly salt tolerant, salt tolerant, salt susceptible and highly salt susceptible. |
