Abstract

To investigate the effect of exogenous melatonin (MT) on the growth of kiwifruit seedling under weak light treatment, in this study, kiwifruit seedling was used as the experimental material, applied 100 mol/L MT solution by root irrigation, and determined physiological indexes under low light intensity. The results provide theoretical basis for improving the yield and quality of kiwifruit. The results showed that the chlorophyll and carotenoid content of kiwifruit leaves increased significantly under weak light treatment, but there was no significant relationship between the application of MT; The content of soluble sugar decreased firstly and then increased, the contents of soluble protein , CAT and POD increased substantially; Root irrigation MT solution can increased the degradation of soluble sugar and CAT, change the trend of soluble protein content and POD.
