Abstract

In this study, pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) inbred lines were grafted onto different rootstock genotypes and tested under saline conditions. A hydroponic experiment was conducted in nutrient solution growth system in a growth chamber of Erciyes University, Agricultural Faculty in Kayseri, Turkey. The experiment was conducted in spring 2017 growth season. Two pepper inbred lines (ERÜ-462 and ERÜ-1227) were grafted onto three different pepper rootstocks/genotypes (Scarface F1, 11B14, and Yaocali F1) and grown in 8 L pots filled with continuously aerated nutrient solution under saline conditions (8 dS m−1) with three replications. The growth chamber experiment was carried out to determine the effects of salt stress on plant growth, shoot and root dry weights, leaf area, photosynthesis, leaf total chlorophyll (a + b) and carotenoid content, proline content, glycine betaine content, leaf electrolyte leakage, leaf and root macro element concentration in grafted and non-grafted pepper plants. The results indicated that ERÜ-462 grafted on to Scarface and 11B14 rootstock genotypes were more tolerant to salinity than ERÜ-1227 in term of leaf chlorophyll (a + b) content and leaf carotenoid content, photosynthesis, and proline content. Though, higher shoot and root biomass, leaf area formation, root K+, Na+, Cl− contents were observed when ERÜ-1227 grafted on to Scarface and 11B14 rootstock genotypes. Strong rootstock promoted plant growth in pepper plant both under control and saline conditions and significant depression of plant biomass production under saline conditions was observed in both grafted and non-grafted plants. However, grafting onto vigorous rootstocks alleviated negative effects of salinity stress on pepper plants. Scarface and 11B14 were found more tolerant to salinity than non-grafted pepper plants and the other genotypes used as regard to investigated parameters.

Zusammenfassung

In dieser Studie wurden Paprika-Inzuchtlinien (Capsicum annuum L.) auf verschiedene Wurzelstockgenotypen gepfropft und unter salzhaltigen Bedingungen getestet. Ein hydroponisches Experiment wurde in einem Nährlösungs-Wachstumssystem in einer Wachstumskammer der Erciyes-Universität der Landwirtschaftlichen Fakultät in Kayseri, Türkei, durchgeführt. Das Experiment fand in der Wachstumssaison im Frühjahr 2017 statt. Zwei Paprika-Inzuchtlinien (ERÜ-462 und ERÜ-1227) wurden auf drei verschiedene Wurzelstöcke (Scarface F1, 11B14 und Yaocali F1) gepfropft und in 8‑Liter-Töpfen, die mit kontinuierlich belüfteter Nährlösung gefüllt waren, unter salzhaltigen Bedingungen (8 dS m−1) angebaut; das Experiment wurde drei Mal wiederholt. Das Wachstumskammerexperiment wurde durchgeführt, um die Auswirkungen von Salzstress auf das Pflanzenwachstum, das Spross- und Wurzeltrockengewicht, die Blattfläche, die Photosynthese, den Gesamtchlorophyll- (a + b) und Carotinoidgehalt, den Prolingehalt, den Glycinbetaingehalt, den Elektrolytverlust des Blatts und die Konzentration von Blatt- und Wurzel-Makroelementen bei gepfropften und nicht gepfropften Paprikapflanzen zu bestimmen. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass ERÜ-462, das auf Scarface- und 11B14-Wurzelstock-Genotypen gepfropft wurde, hinsichtlich des Blattchlorophyllgehalts und des Blattcarotinoidgehalts, der Photosynthese und des Prolingehalts salztoleranter war als ERÜ-1227. Allerdings wurden höhere Spross- und Wurzelbiomasse, Blattflächenbildung, Wurzel‑K+-, -Na+- und -Cl−-Gehalte beobachtet, wenn ERÜ-1227 auf Scarface- und 11B14-Wurzelstock-Genotypen gepfropft wurde. Ein starker Wurzelstock förderte das Pflanzenwachstum der Paprikapflanzen sowohl unter Kontroll- als auch unter salzhaltigen Bedingungen und eine signifikante Verringerung der Pflanzenbiomasseproduktion unter salzhaltigen Bedingungen wurde sowohl bei gepfropften als auch bei nicht gepfropften Pflanzen beobachtet. Das Pfropfen auf kräftige Wurzelstöcke milderte jedoch die negativen Auswirkungen von Salzstress auf Paprikapflanzen Scarface und 11B14 erwiesen sich in Bezug auf die untersuchten Parameter als salztoleranter als nicht gepfropfte Paprikapflanzen und die anderen verwendeten Genotypen.
