Abstract: The salinized land area accounts for 65.8% of the total land area in Tianjin. As an oil crop and a crop to improve the ecological environment, rape has a broad application prospect, and it is of great significance to study the salt tolerance of rape. The effects of exogenous salicylic acid on physiological characteristics of rape seedlings were studied under soil conditions with different salt content. The results showed that the soluble sugar content of rape seedlings increased significantly with the increase of salt content in the range of soil salt content from 0.04% to 0.35%, and decreased significantly with the further increase of salt content. The content of soluble sugar, soluble protein and proline in rape seedlings treated with salicylic acid were significantly increased compared with the control group under salt stress, while the content of malondialdehyde in rape seedlings treated with salicylic acid was significantly decreased compared with the control group. Compared with the control group, the catalase activity of rape seedlings was significantly increased by salicylic acid treatment at the high salt content above 0.35%. Compared with the control group, the superoxide dismutase activity of rape seedlings was significantly increased by salicylic acid treatment under various soil salt contents. The exogenous salicylic acid can increase the osmotic substance content, reduce the malondialdehyde content and enhance the activity of antioxidant enzymes of rape seedlings to alleviate the salt damage of rape. It is one of the effective methods to improve salt tolerance of rape seedlings by exogenous salicylic acid treatment.
