Abstract

The effects of melatonine (MT) on the growth of Malachium aquaticum seedlings under salt stress were investigated through a pot experiment. The results showed that MT increased the biomass of M. aquaticum seedlings. With the increase of MT concentrations, the root, stem, leaf and shoot biomasses of M. aquaticum seedlings increased when the dose of MT was not more than 150 æmol/L, and decreased when the dose of MT was more than 150 æmol/L. MT also enhanced the photosynthetic pigment content and antioxidant enzyme activity of M. aquaticum seedlings. When applying MT on M. aquaticum seedlings, the soluble sugar content in roots decreased, and the soluble sugar content in stems and leaves increased. Therefore, MT could promote the growth of M. aquaticum seedlings under salt stress, and the best dose of MT was 150 æmol/L.
