Regulation of hydrogen rich water on strawberry seedlings and root endophytic bacteria under salt stress.

ABSTRACT: Salt stress could lead to plant growth barriers and crop yield reduction. Strawberries are sensitive to salt stress, and improving salt tolerance is important for strawberry production. This study aimed to explore the potential of hydrogen-rich water (HRW) to enhance salt tolerance in strawberries. Through pot experiments, we investigated how HRW affects plant growth, ion absorption, osmotic stress, oxidative stress, antioxidant enzyme levels, hormone levels, and root endophytic bacteria in strawberry seedlings under salt stress. The results showed that under 100 mM NaCl treatment, 50% and 100% HRW treatments significantly increased strawberry biomass by 0.29 g and 0.54g, respectively, wherein, 100% HRW significantly increased the shoot and root length by 15.34% and 24.49%, respectively.
