摘要： Allantoin as a nitrogen metabolite can improve the salt tolerance in plants, but its mechanism of action remain elusive. Herein, the effects of pretreatment with exogenous allantoin in salt tolerance were investigated in sugar beet. The seedlings were subjected to salt stress (300 mM Na+) without or with different allantoin concentrations (0.01, 0.1, and 1 mM). The effects of allantoin on plant growth, homeostasis, oxidative damage, osmoregulation, and polyamine metabolism were studied. The results showed that salt stress inhibited the net photosynthetic rate and plant growth, and caused oxidative damage. However, these adverse effects were mitigated by exogenous allantoin in a dose-dependent manner, especially at 0.1 mM. Allantoin reduced the accumulation of ROS by increasing the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), pemxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and AsA content. Under salt stress, allantoin reduced the root concentrations of free putrescine (Put) but increased the free spermine (Spm) in leaves and roots. Furthermore, allantoin decreased the Na+/K+ ratio and promoted the accumulation of betaine and soluble sugars in leaves and roots. Under salinity conditions, allantoin may enhance the antioxidant system and improve ion homeostasis by enhancing putrescine and/or spermine accumulation. In addition, Pearson's correlation and principal component analysis (PCA) established correlations between physiological parameters, and significant differences between different concentrations of allantoin were observed. In total, exogenous allantoin effectively reduced the oxidative damage and ion toxicity in sugar beet, caused by salinity, this finding would be helpful in improving salt tolerance in plant.
