Abstract:

Drought is one of the important factors limiting the high and stable yield of soybean, and an important problem restricting the sustainable production of soybean in China. Using biological regulators to improve the drought tolerance of soybean in production is a new feasible biological water-saving mode. In this study, the field experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of coronatine (COR) on leaf water potential, photosynthetic characteristics, plant traits, yield and its components of soybean under conventional irrigation and no irrigation conditions from 2015 to 2016. Under conventional irrigation conditions, COR could not change the values of leaf water potential, chlorophyll content, photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, and activities of RuBP carboxylase and SPS in soybean leaves compared to control. And there was no significant difference in yield and biomass between COR treatment and control. However, under no irrigation conditions, COR significantly increased the leaf water potential, chlorophyll content, photosynthetic rate and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, as well as the activities of RuBP carboxylase and SPS of soybean leaves, thus improved the yield and yield components. These results suggest that COR has a positive regulatory effect on photosynthetic characteristics and yield formation of soybean under no irrigation conditions, and can be used as a new technical means for cultivation preventing drought resistance in soybean production.

Key words: coronatine, irrigation, soybean, photosynthetic characteristics, yield
