Abstract
The effects of grafting on the soluble protein content and expression was conducted with a salt-tolerant Bottle Gourd Peel as the rootstock and a salt-sensitive mini-watermelon as the scion.Results showed that grafting significantly increased the growth and the content and expression level of soluble protein in leaves under 50 mmol·L-1 NaCl stress,while decreased in the own-root seedlings.Two proteins of 247.7×103 and 107.9×103 were expressed only in grafted seedlings,and twelve proteins changed obviously at least,relative molecular weight(×103)were 244.7,240.0,74.2,61.2,58.1,45.0,42.0,40.1,36.4,29.1,15.7 and 15.5.Therefore,it was possible that these proteins have relations with grafting improving the salt tolerance in watermelon seedlings.
