[0002] During their growth, plants are often subjected to a variety of stresses, which in turn affect their growth and development, and reduce their yield and quality. Salt stress and drought stress are two major abiotic stresses that plants often face, causing physiological drought, ion toxicity and oxidative stress to plants, inhibiting plant growth, and in severe cases leading to plant death, ultimately reducing crop yields. Therefore, how to improve the salt and drought tolerance of crops has become a global concern.

[0003] Terpenoids, as a class of plant secondary metabolites, have a wide range of pharmacological effects, aromatic qualities and biological activities, and have shown wide application potential in many fields such as medicine, health products, cosmetics, pesticides, etc. Abietic acid (AA) is a tricyclic diterpenoid oxygen-containing compound, slightly soluble in water, and easily soluble in ether, ethanol, benzene, acetone, chloroform, and carbon disulfide.

However, the present invention is not limited to the following implementation methods, and the methods described are conventional methods unless otherwise specified. The raw materials described can be obtained from public commercial channels unless otherwise specified.

[0021] Example 1: Exogenous application of AA promotes millet seed germination under salt stress 1. Dissolve 3.0245 mg of abietic acid (AA) in 1 mL of anhydrous ethanol to prepare a 10 mmol / L stock solution, and then dilute it with water to a solution containing 0.1 μmol / L-60 μmol / L AA as the subsequent salt stress or drought stress treatment solution.

[0022] 2. Select plump and healthy millet seeds, first wash the seeds twice with 10% Tween water (Tween-20), then disinfect the seed surface with 70% anhydrous ethanol for 5 seconds, and then wash with sterile water 5-6 times. Set up three groups of experiments, namely the control group (divided into normal control group and salt treatment control group) and the experimental group (salt treatment experimental group), each group has three parallel experiments, and 35 millet seeds are selected for each parallel. Spread the soaked seeds on a 9 cm glass culture dish with sterilized filter paper placed in advance, and culture at 25°C; the normal control group is treated with 5 mL of aqueous solution, the salt treatment control group is treated with 5 mL of 150mM NaCl, and the salt treatment experimental group is treated with 150 mM NaCl containing 1 μM AA, 5 μM AA, 10 μM AA, and 15 μM AA. Culture for 1 to 5 days and count the seed germination data.

[0023] Figure 1 CK is distilled water, S 150 is 150 mM NaCl. Figure 1 It can be seen that compared with the salt treatment control group, exogenous application of AA can significantly increase the germination rate, cotyledon greening rate, sprout length, root length and fresh weight of millet seeds, significantly promote the germination of millet seeds, and improve the salt tolerance of millet during the germination period.

[0024] Example 2: Exogenous application of AA promotes wheat seed germination under salt stress 1. The preparation method of AA treatment solution is the same as that of Example 1.

[0026] Depend on Figure 2-1 It can be seen that compared with the salt treatment control group, exogenous application of AA can significantly increase the germination rate, cotyledon greening rate, sprout length, root length and fresh weight of wheat seeds, significantly promote the germination of wheat seeds, and improve the salt tolerance of wheat during the germination period.

[0027] The seeds were treated with 175 mM NaCl containing 10 μM AA, 25 μM AA, 50 μM AA, 75 μM AA, and 100 μM AA for 4 days, and the seed germination data were counted.

[0028] Depend on Figure 2-2 It can be seen that within the concentration range of 10 μM ~50 μM, AA increased the germination rate, root length, stem length and fresh weight of wheat; within the range of 75 μM ~100 μM, AA reduced the germination rate, root length and shoot length of wheat. Therefore, the appropriate concentration of AA for germination is 25 μM.

[0029] Example 3: Exogenous application of AA improves salt tolerance of millet seedlings 1. The preparation method of AA treatment solution, seed dosage, seed treatment, salt stress concentration and experimental settings are the same as those in Example 1.

After 7 days of culture, the relevant data are counted.

[0034] Depend on Figure 4It can be seen that compared with the salt stress control group, exogenous application of AA under salt stress can increase the plant height, root length and fresh weight of wheat seedlings and improve the salt tolerance of wheat seedlings. In the concentration range of 1-10 μM AA, the plant height, root length and fresh weight of wheat seedlings increased in a dose-dependent manner. The effect of 15 μM AA began to weaken.

Ensure that the soaking volume of each plant is 50-100 mL, soak for 12 hours, soak once every 7 days, and soak twice in total. Continue to grow for 7 days after the last soaking, and count the relevant data.

[0037] Depend on Figure 5 It can be seen that compared with the salt stress control group, exogenous application of AA under salt stress conditions can significantly increase the survival rate, chlorophyll content, plant height, root length and fresh weight of millet seedlings, and significantly improve the salt tolerance of millet. The survival rate, fresh weight and chlorophyll content of millet treated with 10 μM AA all showed the highest values.

[0045] 2. Select full and healthy wheat seeds. Plant 12 wheat seeds in each black plastic pot filled with nutrient soil. After the wheat germinates for 2 days, select 6 seedlings with consistent growth for retention. These 6 seedlings continue to grow for 3 days before treatment. Set up three groups of experiments, namely the control group (divided into a normal control group and a drought treatment group) and the experimental group (drought treatment experimental group), and set up three parallel experiments in each group (each 6 pots as a group). The normal control group was soaked in clean water, the drought treatment control group was soaked in 3L of quantitative clean water each time, and watering was stopped after soaking twice. The drought treatment experimental group was soaked in 3L of a solution containing 5 μM AA, 10 μMAA, and 20 μM AA, ensuring that the soaking volume of each plant was 50-100 mL; soak for 12 hours, soak once every 7 days, stop watering after soaking twice, start drought treatment, and count relevant data after 25 days.

Low concentration of AA had no significant effect on maize plant height, but high concentration of AA reduced maize plant height.

[0049] Example 10: Exogenous application of AA improves the weight and number of grains per ear of millet under salt tolerance 1. The preparation method of AA treatment solution is the same as that of Example 1.

[0050] 2. Select plump and healthy millet seeds. Plant 15 millet seeds in each black plastic pot filled with nutrient soil. After the millet germinates for 3 days, select 9 seedlings with consistent growth and remove the rest of the seedlings with tweezers. These 9 seedlings continue to grow for 3 days before processing. Set up three groups of experiments, namely the control group (divided into a normal control group and a salt-treated control group) and the experimental group (salt-treated experimental group). Each group has three parallel experiments (each 6 pots as a group). The normal control group was soaked in clean water, the salt-treated control group was soaked in 200 mM NaCl solution, and the salt-treated experimental group was soaked in 200 mM NaCl solution containing 10 μM AA; each soaking solution was quantitatively 2 L, ensuring that the soaking volume of each plant was 50-100 mL, and soaked 3 times (the first time was treated at the 3-leaf stage, the second time was treated at the jointing stage, and the third time was treated before heading), and then normal watering management was performed until the seeds were harvested, and relevant data were counted.

[0051] Depend on Fig.10 It can be seen that compared with the salt treatment control group, exogenous soaking in AA solution can significantly increase the weight and number of grains per ear of millet, and improve the yield of millet under salt stress.
