Abstract:
Taking pepper as test material, a seed soaking treatment method was used, the effects of different concentrations of vitamin
B
6 solution on pepper seed germination under 4 ℃ low temperature treatment and seedling growth under 12 ℃ low temperature treatment were studied, in order to provide reference for further study of
vitamin B
6 induced resistance and regulation mechanism of pepper.The results showed that the germination rate, germination potential and germination index of pepper seeds soaked
in 100 mg·L
<sup>-1 vitamin B
6 solution under 4 ℃ low temperature stress were significantly higher than those of the control; the pepper seed
s soaked in
100 mg·L
-1 vitamin B
6 solution grew to have two leaves.The malo
ndialdehyde content and ■ production rate of pepper seedlings treated at 12 ℃decreased significantly, and the root activity increased; the pe
pper seeds s
oaked in 80 mg·L
-1 vitamin B
6 solution grew to two leaves, and the root length, plant height and fresh weight of the seedlings were higher than that of the control group after being treated at 12
℃;the peppe
r seeds soaked in 40 mg·L
-1 vitamin B
6 solution grew to two leaves, and the activities of CAT,POD and SOD,and the root activity of pepper seedlings were increased after being treated at 12 ℃.Therefo
re, the appropriate concentration of vitamin B
6 solution could help to reduce the damage of low temperature to pepper seed germination and seedling growth, and improve its low temperature resistance.
