Abstract:

The paper aims to reveal the drought resistance of different clones of Sambucus williamsii, to explore the adaptability of Sambucus williamsii to arid environment, and to provide experimental materials for afforestation in arid and barren mountains. We carried out the natural drought stress test by pot experiment method, and comprehensively evaluated the physiological indexes of each clone under different treatments by using the principal component analysis. The results showed that: the biomass increment of PT-1 was the largest, the root-shoot ratio of PT-2 was the largest under drought stress; with the increase of drought stress, the permeability of cell membrane increased, the permeability cell membrane of PT-2 and PT-1 was the smallest when the drought reached moderate and severe degree; the chlorophyll content and the SOD activity increased firstly and then decreased, the soluble sugar and proline increased with the increase of drought stress; under severe drought stress, the soluble sugar content of PT-1 was the highest. The principal component analysis showed that: the drought resistance ability from strong to weak was XY-2, JY-1, XY-1, XY-3, PT-1, PT-3, PT-2, among them, XY-2 and JY-1 had relatively strong drought resistance and could be further studied as drought-resistant clonal materials.
