Soil salinity is a big environmental issue affecting crop production. Although seed nanopriming has been widely used to improve seed germination and seedling growth under salinity,our knowledge about the underlying mechanisms is still insufficient. Herein,we newly synthesized selenium-doped carbon dots nanoparticles coated with poly acrylic acid (poly acrylic acid coated selenium doped carbon dots,PAA@Se-CDs) and used it to prime seeds of rapeseeds. The TEM (transmission electron microscope) size and zeta potential of PAA@Se-CDs are 3.8±0.2 nm and-30 mV,respectively. After 8 h priming,the PAA@Se-CDs nanoparticles were detected in the seed compartments (seed coat,cotyledon,and radicle),while no such signals were detected in the NNP (no nanoparticle control) group (SeO2 was used as the NNP). Nanopriming with PAA@Se-CDs nanoparticles increased rapeseeds germination (20％) and seedling fresh weight (161％) under saline conditions compared to NNP control. PAA@Se-CDs nanopriming signif-icantly enhanced endo-β-mannanase activities (255％increase,21.55μmol h-1 g-1 vs. 6.06μmol h-1 g-1,at DAS 1 (DAS,days after sowing)),total soluble sugar (33.63 mg g-1 FW (fresh weight) vs. 20.23 mg g-1 FW) and protein contents (1.96μg g-1 FW vs. 1.0μg g-1 FW) to support the growth of germinating seed-lings of rapeseeds under salt stress,in comparison with NNP control. The respiration rate and ATP content were increased by 76％ and 607％,respectively. The oxidative damage of salinity due to the over-accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was alleviated by PAA@Se-CDs nanopriming by increasing the antioxidant enzyme activities (SOD (superoxide dismutase),POD (peroxidase),and CAT (catalase)). Another mechanism behind PAA@Se-CDs nanopriming improving rapeseeds salt tolerance at seedling stage was reducing sodium (Na+) accumulation and improving potassium (K+) retention,hence increasing the K+/Na+ratio under saline conditions. Overall,our results not only showed that seed nanopriming with PAA@Se-CDs could be a good approach to improve salt tolerance,but also add more knowledge to the mechanism behind nanopriming-improved plant salt tolerance at germination and early seedling growth stage.
