Abstract

A pot experiment was carried out to study the effects of exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) on the resistance of Capsella bursa-pastoris under salt stress. Spraying ABA increased the root, stem, leaf and shoot biomasses of C. bursa-pastoris under salt stress. ABA applications also enhanced the plant height of C. bursa-pastoris. With the increase in the ABA concentrations, the biomass and plant height of C. bursa-pastoris increased. ABA treatments enhanced the antioxidant enzyme (SOD, POD and CAT) activities of C. bursa-pastoris. With increasing ABA concentrations, the SOD, CAT and POD activities of C. bursa-pastoris were enhanced under salt stress and the soluble protein content of C. bursa-pastoris also showed an increasing trend. Therefore, ABA could enhance the resistance of C. bursa-pastoris to salt stress, and promote its growth.
