Alleviating Effects of Methyl Jasmonate on Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) Seedlings under Low-Temperature Combined with Low-Light Stress
2024
Overview
Low temperature combined with low light (LL) is an important factor limiting pepper quality and yield. ‘Hang Jiao No. 2′ were used as experimental materials, and different concentrations of MeJA (T1 (0 μM), T2 (100 μM), T3 (150 μM), T4 (200 μM), T5 (250 μM) and T6 (300 μM)) were sprayed under LL stress to explore the positive effect of exogenous methyl jasmonate (MeJA) on peppers under LL stress. The photosynthetic properties, osmoregulatory substance, reactive oxygen species, antioxidant enzyme activities, and related gene expressions of the peppers were measured. Our results demonstrated that 200 μM MeJA treatment significantly increased chlorophyll content, light quantum flux per active RC electron transfer (Eto/RC), maximum captured photonic flux per active RC (TRo/RC), energy flux for electron transfer in the excitation cross section (Eto/CSm), energy flux captured by absorption in the excitation cross section (TRo/CSm), soluble protein, and soluble sugar content. Moreover, it significantly improved the maximum photochemical efficiency of PSII (Fv/Fm) and performance index based on absorbed light energy (PI (abs)) by 56.77% and 67.00%, respectively, and significantly decreased malondialdehyde (MDA) content and relative conductivity by 30.55% and 28.17%, respectively. Additionally, antioxidant enzyme activities were elevated, and the expression of the related genes was activated in pepper seedlings under stress, leading to a significant reduction in reactive oxygen species content. In conclusion, our findings confirmed that 200 μM MeJA could reduce the injury of LL to pepper leaves to the photosynthetic organs of pepper leaves, protect the integrity of the cell membrane, and further improve the tolerance of pepper seedlings to LL.
