Effects of water and salt stress on photosynthetic and fluorescence parameters of different cotton varieties at seedling stage
Using the main cotton varieties'Tahe 2,''Xinluzhong 56,'and'Xinluzhong 87'from the Xiao-haizi irrigation area in Xinjiang,this study set water amounts as the standard for irrigation(W1:upper limit 60%,lower limit 50%;W2:upper limit 70%,lower limit 60%;W3:upper limit 80%,lower limit 70%).The SPAD values,photosynthetic rates,and fluorescence parameters were analyzed under varying levels of soil salinity stress(S1:3 g·kg-1,S2:4.5 g·kg-1,S3:6 g·kg-1)and different irrigation thresholds.The results showed that the maximum value of 0~30 cm soil salt return was 27.44%for S1 treatment,68.44%for S2 and 64.39%for S3 treat-ment.In addition to the maximum yield of electron transfer at the cotton seedling stage,all the correlations between photosynthesis and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters showed significant differences(P<0.01).However,soil sa-linity mainly produced significant effects on Gs,Tr and ΦPSII,qP,Y(N0),α,ETRmax,and IK.The lower limit of irrigation only had significant effects on ΦPSII and Y(N0).The Gs of'Tahe 2'cotton were significantly greater by 92.1%in W3S1 treatment than that of W3S2 treatment,and the Pn and Gs of'Xinluzhong 56'were significantly lower than W1S1 treatment by 19.2%~68.2%under S1 and S3 treatments.W3 irrigation treatment in cotton'Xin-luzhong 87'and Tr increased by 39.4%~53.1%and 10.6%~20.8%compared with other irrigation treatments.Therefore,'Tahe 2'cotton was more sensitive to salt treatment.The moisture content of'Xinluzhong 56'cotton in the soil of 50%θ(field water capacity)fields significantly reduced the improvement of photosynthetic parameters.'Xinluzhong 87'cotton was more conducive to growth under W3 irrigation treatment.
