The present application relates to the field of
agricultural biotechnology and
plant science technology, and discloses a winter melon
seedling salt tolerance identification method based on multi-
modal characteristics, which comprises the following steps: uniformly germinating winter melon seeds, selecting seedlings with consistent growth vigor, setting up a clear water control group and a salt stress group with a response concentration of NaCl, and collecting multi-
modal data of photosynthetic
fluorescence, photosynthetic absorption,
colorimetric analysis and morphology at a preset time point. After the multi-
modal data is standardized and normalized, it is reduced in dimension by
principal component analysis, and the principal component scores are dimensionless by the
membership function method. The weight is calculated by combining the contribution rate, and the comprehensive salt tolerance evaluation value is obtained by weighting. According to the comprehensive salt tolerance evaluation value, the mean value and the standard deviation, the salt tolerance is divided into six levels: normal,
high resistance, medium resistance, medium sensitivity, sensitivity and high sensitivity, so that scientific identification is realized, and support is provided for winter melon salt-tolerant
germplasm screening and variety breeding.
