In order to explore the relationship between mineral ion and alkali tolerance of oats, the absorption and distribution characteristics of Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+ in roots, stems, leaves of different varieties oats (alkali tolerant vao 9, alkali sensitive Baiyan 5) under alkali stress (molar ratio of Na2CO3, NaHCO3=1∶1) were studied in potted experiment. Result showed that the Na+ content was increased, while K+ and Cu2+contents were decreased under alkali stress; the contents of Ca2+, Mg2+ were increased in roots and were decreased in shoots; while Fe2+, Zn2+contents were different in different stress treatments and different organs of two varieties. Na+ absorbed in vao 9 were less than that in Baiyan 5, and K+, Ca2+, Cu2+ absorbed in vao 9 were more than that in Baiyan 5, there were little difference in Mg2+, Fe2+, Zn2+ between two varieties. vao 9 could store Na+ in stems and distribute high contents of K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+ in leaves under 100 mmol·L-1 concentration, while Baiyan 5 accumulate the Na+ in leaves, K+ in stems and Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe2+, Cu2+, Zn2+ in roots, which led to lower contents of Na+ / K+, Na+/Ca2+, Na+/ Mg2+ in vao 9 that in Baiyan 5. It was concluded that vao 9 could keep ions balance to adapt to alkali stress through compartmentalizing Na+ in stem, selective absorption of K+, Ca2+, Cu2+ and distributing high mineral ion in leaves under high alkali stress. |
