摘要
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is a widely grown and important forage crop. However, alkali stress is detrimental to alfalfa yield and nutritional quality. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a signaling molecule, it participates in and responds to metabolic regulation related to plant growth and development and stress. In this study, we clarify the effect of spraying alfalfa seedlings with GABA on the alkali tolerance of the seedlings. We determined that exogenous application of GABA at 75 mmol/L improved the resistance of alfalfa seedlings to alkali stress caused by exposure to 100 mmol/L NaHCO3, pH 8.5. Exogenous GABA significantly increased the chlorophyll content, the accumulation of soluble sugars in the plants, significantly decreased their relative electrical conductivity, malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide anion (O2−) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) contents, and significantly increased the activities of the antioxidant enzymes catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and peroxidase (POD). Exogenous GABA increased the activities of GAD and GABA-T, increased the content of glutamate and endogenous GABA, and regulated the expression of the genes MsGAD, MsGABA-T and MsGDH. In alfalfa plants that survived for a long time, compared to the control group, root length and fresh weight were significantly higher. Exogenous GABA had a positive effect on the resistance of alfalfa seedlings to alkali stress, and the effect was closely associated with GAD and GABA-T activity, glutamate content and the levels of endogenous GABA and antioxidants. This work provides a new method for the cultivation of early-stage alfalfa seedlings under low or moderate alkali stress conditions through the application of 75 mmol/L GABA.
