Efficacy of Salicylic Acid on Tobacco Virus Disease and Its Effects on Physiological Activity of Tobacco Seedlings
[Objective]The efficacy of spraying salicylic acid on tobacco mosaic virus and its effects on physiological activity of tobacco seedlings were studied to provide the theoretical basis for the green control of salicylic acid on tobacco virus disease.[Method]The floating seedling and pot experiment methods were adopted to investigate the effects of spraying salicylic acid with different concentrations[T1(0.50 mmol/L),T2(0.75 mmol/L)and T3(1.00 mmol/)]on the virus disease index and the defensive enzymes activity of tobacco leaves.[Result]After different concentrations of salicylic acid treatment,the defensive enzyme activity of tobacco seedling leaves reached the peak from the 3rd day to the 6th day.Meanwhile,the defensive enzyme activity and proline content were higher under T1 and T2 treatments.Among them,compared with the clear water control(CK),the POD activity of all treatments increased by 68.00%-74.36%,34.23%-44.22%and 4.39%-21.81%from the 3rd day to the 6th day,respectively.The SOD activity reached the highest on the 3rd day,which was 49.47%,65.71%and 27.27%higher than that of CK,respectively.The chitinase activity of T2 treatment reached the highest on the 3rd day with 925.55 U/g.T1 and T3 treatment reached the highest on the 6th day,which were 1 231.75 U/g and 820.45 U/g,respectively,and T1 was 67.12%higher than CK.The β-1,3-glucanase activity of three treatments reached the highest on the 3rd day,which was 97.12%,59.37%and 58.23%higher than CK,respectively.The proline content of three treatments reached the highest on the 6th day,which was 29.41%,27.71%and 17.80%higher than CK.The disease index of tobacco virus disease treated with 0.75 mmol/L salicylic acid was 26.22,which was much lower than that of CK(64.80),and the control efficacy reached 59.53%.[Conclusion]Salicylic acid treatment can induce the increase of POD,SOD,chitinase,β-1,3-glucanase activity and proline contents,which is closely related to the resistance of tobacco seedlings to virus disease.
