Effects of salt stress on ion balance,membrane lipid peroxidation,and osmotic regulation substance accumulation in thin skin muskmelon 'Huishu'
[Objective]To explore the physiological response mechanism of thin-skinned melon'Huishu'to salt(NaCl)stress and provide theoretical basis for melon cultivation,demonstration and promo-tion.[Methods]In this study,a substrate pot experiment was conducted to observe the changes in seedling growth,ion homeostasis,antioxidant enzyme system,and osmoregulation substances after 100 mmol/L NaCl short-term stress(5 d)and long-term stress(20 d).[Results]Salt stress inhibited seedling growth,de-stroyed ion balance and antioxidant systems.The plant height,petiole length,and leaf number decreased sig-nificantly with the prolongation of salt stress time,while the diameter,petiole diameter,and leaf thickness in-creased significantly with the prolongation of salt stress time.After salt stress,the Na+efflux velocity de-creased,the Na+content increased,the K+outflow velocity increased,and the K+content decreased.The content of malondialdehyde increased significantly.The content of malondialdehyde significantly increased,and the activities of SOD,POD,and CAT enzymes first increased and then decreased;the content of soluble sugar,soluble protein,and free proline increased significantly.[Conclusion]Under salt stress,the thin-skinned melon'Huishu'responds to salt stress by limiting its own growth,increasing the Na+content and re-ducing the K+content of its leaves,improving the antioxidant enzyme system,and accumulating more os-moregulation substances.
