Abstract
Hexaconazole is one of the triazole complexes that are broadly used as systemic fungicides with non-traditional plant growth regulator properties. Hexaconazole-Cu complex (Hex-Cu) is a new triazole derivative, and the biological effect of Hex-Cu has been rarely studied. In this work, we investigated the functions of Hex-Cu in regulating growth and the response to salt stress in the seedlings of Triticum aestivum. Pretreated with 60μmolL(-1) Hex-Cu, the seedling plants got increased root/shoot ratio by 42.0%, and the contents of chlorophyll and soluble protein were also increased by 38.1% and 27.9%, respectively. Furthermore, Hex-Cu alleviated the growth inhibition caused by salt stress, enabled the seedlings to maintain a higher proline content and lower malondialdehyde accumulation. The functions of Hex-Cu in regulating the expression of proline synthetase (P5CS and P5CR) genes were investigated by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). Under 100mmolL(-1) NaCl stress, the expression of P5CS and P5CR in the seedlings by Hex-Cu pretreatment were significantly up-regulated. It attributed to the enhanced salt tolerance in plants.
