Effect of Ca2+ Foliar Application on Tolerance of Kosteletzkya virginica Seedlings to High Temperature
-
Abstract
After foliar application with 10 mmol·L-1 CaCl2 each day for the first week,Kosteletzkya virginica seedlings were moved into an incubator,kept at 40 ℃ and monitored periodically for related physiological indices.Results show that Ca2+ could lower contents of proline and soluble sugar,prevent seedlings from withering and decreasing in root activity.Besides,Ca2+ could inhibit the increase of membrane permeability,improve the activity of Ca2+-ATPase.Thus,Ca2+ improves the tolerance of K.virginica seedlings to heat.
