Abstract
Salt-tolerant wheat cultivar ‘DK961’ and salt-sensitive wheat cultivar ‘LM15’ were used to investigate the characteristics of Na + and K + uptake and correlation with salt tolerance. Results showed that K + uptake kinetics of roots was fitted to the Michaelis-Menten equation, namely V=V max ×[S]/([S]+K m )+k×[S], for both cultivars. Low concentration NaCl (25 mmol·L -1 ) treatment significantly enhanced high-affinity K + uptake system, and the effects on ‘DK961’ was stronger than that on ‘LM15’. High-affinity K + uptake of wheat roots possibly is driven by K + /H + symporter instead of K + /Na + symporter. NaCl treatment inhibited low-affinity K + uptake system, and the effects on ‘LM15’ was stronger than that on ‘DK961’. The K + content in roots and leaves significantly decreased in response to NaCl stress, while the Na + content significantly increased under NaCl stress. Under NaCl stress, K + content in roots and leaves of ‘DK961’ was significantly higher than that of ‘LM15’, and the Na + content of roots in ‘DK961’ was significantly higher than that in ‘LM15’. However, leaf Na + content of ‘DK961’ was significantly lower than that of ‘LM15’ under NaCl stress. Therefore, K + /Na + ratio in leaves of ‘DK961’ was higher than that in ‘LM15’ in response to NaCl stress. NSCCs (non-selective cation channels) are the main pathways for Na + uptake, and K + channels mediate Na + uptake. These results suggested that wheat enhanced salt tolerance partly via regulating root K + uptake system contributed to high K + /Na + ratio of leaves.
