Abstract
To evaluate utility of different salt-tolerant lines, three soybean lines with different resistance to salt were planted in the field under control and salt-stress conditions for two years. The results showed that net photosynthetic rate (P N) was significantly different among lines at the anthesis stage and decreased on average by 13.6-34.1% under conditions of salt stress. The stomatal conductance was a primary limiting factor for the reduction of P N under salt stress. Meanwhile, the grain yield (GY) decreased on average by 14.0-35.3% among lines under salt stress. The salt-tolerant lines S111-9 and S113-6 showed higher P N and GY under salt stress in comparison with the salt-sensitive cultivar Melrose. Regression analysis indicated that there was extremely significantly positive correlation between GY and P N under field conditions. Therefore, P N might be used as a physiological index for field resistance of soybean to salt stress.
