The invention belongs to the technical field of
saline-
alkali soil improvement, and particularly relates to a method for improving salt tolerance of soybeans under salt stress,
boric acid is applied to the soybeans under salt stress, soybean seedlings are used as materials, a
nutrient solution culture method is adopted, the
boric acid is applied to the soybean seedlings under salt stress simulated by 100 mM NaCl, and the final concentration of the
boric acid is larger than 25 [mu] M; preferably, the final concentration of the boric acid is 150 [mu] M. According to the method, boric acid is used for improving the salt tolerance of soybeans for the first time, under salt stress, boric acid is applied, the growth vigor and
photosynthesis of the soybeans can be improved,
oxidative damage of plants is relieved, the content of
sodium ions on the overground part is reduced, and phenylpropane
metabolism of roots is specifically started; the method is scientific, reliable and good in
repeatability, has important scientific value, provides important reference for improving the salt tolerance of soybeans, improves the yield of soybean crops, and provides a new scheme for effective utilization of
saline-
alkali soil.
