Abstract
Effects of drought stress on the physiological characteristics under varying degrees of stress on three common herbal ferns occurred in Shenzhen were investigated by membership function method,namely,Nephrolepis auriculata,Pteris linearis and Cyclosorus parasiticus.The results showed that the permanent wilting rate and foliage water losing rate of three ferns had the same responses under drought stress and with the order of C.parasiticusP.linearisN.auriculata.As drought stress increased,the relative water content of three ferns decreased obviously,the decreasing extent was C.parasiticusP.linearisN.auriculata,but the relative electric conductivity,contents of soluble sugar and proline increased,especially,N.auriculata presented slightly fluctuated,P.linearis increased obviously at drought stress for 9 to 12 days,C.parasiticus fluctuated largely and continually.However,with the drought stress increased deeply,the malondialdehyde(MDA)activities of three ferns exhibited the trends of increase,then decrease and increase.The MDA content of C.parasiticus was always higher than the others.Through comprehensive analysis,it was concluded that the drought resistant abilities of three ferns were ranked as N.auriculataP.linearisC.parasiticus.
