The study found that a low R:FR ratio helps alleviate the damage of salt stress on tomato seedlings by increasing photosynthetic efficiency and antioxidant enzyme activity, maintaining the integrity and stability of chloroplast structure.
The red light (R) to far-red light (FR) ratio (R:FR) regulates plant responses to salt stress, but the regulation mechanism is still unclear. In this study, tomato seedlings were grown under half-strength Hoagland solution with or without 150 mM NaCl at two different R:FR ratios (7.4 and 0.8). The photosynthetic capacity, antioxidant enzyme activities, and the phenotypes at chloroplast ultrastructure and whole plant levels were investigated. The results showed that low R:FR significantly alleviated the damage of tomato seedlings from salt stress. On day 4, 8, and 12 at low R:FR, the maximum photochemical quantum yields (F-v/F-m) of photosystem II (PSII) were increased by 4.53%, 3.89%, and 16.49%, respectively; the net photosynthetic rates (Pn) of leaves were increased by 16.21%, 90.81%, and 118.00%, respectively. Low R:FR enhanced the integrity and stability of the chloroplast structure of salinity-treated plants through maintaining the high activities of antioxidant enzymes and mitigated the degradation rate of photosynthetic pigments caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) under salt stress. The photosynthesis, antioxidant enzyme-related gene expression, and transcriptome sequencing analysis of tomato seedlings under different treatments were also investigated. Low R:FR promoted the de novo synthesis of D1 protein via triggering psbA expression, and upregulated the transcripts of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) related genes. Meanwhile, the transcriptome analysis confirmed the positive function of low R:FR on enhancing tomato salinity stress tolerance from the regulation of photosynthesis and ROS scavenging systems.
