Abstract

A pot experiment was carried out to study effects of different selenium concentrations (0, 5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 100 mg/kg) on the photosynthetic pigment content in Solanum alatum. The results showed that all concentrations of selenium inhibited the chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoid contents in S. alatum. The selenium concentrations order of S. alatum chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b contents from large to small were both ranked: 0, 10, 5, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mg/kg. Compared with the 0 mg/kg, only the selenium concentration of 10 mg/kg had little effect on the photosynthetic pigment contents of S. alatum. These results indicated that high concentrations of selenium stress have significant inhibitory the effects on the photosynthetic pigment contents in S. alatum, which were not conducive to the growth of S. alatum, but S. alatum could grow normally at a selenium concentration of 10 mg/kg.
