Effects of Selenium on Lipid Peroxidation of Soybean Seedings under Salt Stress

摘要

Experiments were conducted to study the effects of selenium (Se) on glutathione peroxidase (GSH -Px) activity and the accumulation of malonaldehyde(MDA) , the product of lipid peroxidation in soybean seedling, as well as the effect of Se on cell ultra structure of soybean leaf and nascent root under salt stress. Results showed that appropriate amount of Se addition increased GSH-Px activity in soybean leaves from 0. 810 to 1. 421 μmol • g~(-1) fresh weight • min~(-1) F = 9. 12~(**) ,and reduced the concentration of MDA from 20. 17 to 16.16 μmol • g~(-1) fresh weight, F =5. 44~*. Under salt stress, no obvious damage on chloplast membrane was observed in Se treated seedlings, and the structures of chloplast and mitochondrion were integrate, whereas in control (no Se addition), the cell membrane was destroyed seriously, chloplast degraded and mitochondrion disappeared. Compared with control, Se addition increased the dry matter weight of seedling by 2. 92% to 21. 86%, F =5.97~*.
