The invention discloses a method for relieving salt injury of soybean seedlings by using exogenous soybean isoflavone. The method comprises the following steps of: (1) dissolving the soybean isoflavone by using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to prepare soybean isoflavone aqueous solution containing 1 percent of DMSO, wherein the concentration of the aqueous solution is not more than 1.0mg / L; (2) soaking soybean seeds into the soybean isoflavone aqueous solution in an incubator of 25 DEG C, putting the seeds on a germinating bed after the seeds are soaked for 10 hours, and performing light shaded germination acceleration; (3) sowing the germinated seeds into a porous plastic cup filled with quartz sand, putting the plastic cup into a transfer box filled with 1 / 2 Hoagland nutrient solution, performing light cultivation, and changing the nutrient solution once every 2 to 3 days; and (4) moving seedlings to a porous foam board when a first pair of main leaves is grown, cultivating the seedlings in a transfer box filled with 100 to 130mmol / L NaCl solution prepared by using 1 / 2 Hoagland nutrient solution, observing the growth condition of the seedlings, measuring the area of the leaves, taking samples of a root, a stem and a leaf after the seedlings are treated for 6 days, and respectively measuring the soybean isoflavone content of the samples by adopting a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. By the method, the salt tolerance of the soybean seedlings can be enhanced, the salt injury of the soybean seedling is effectively relieved, and the method has more obvious effect on the soybean material with salt tolerance.
