Abstract: Two cultivars of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum, cvs. ‘Jinpengchaoguan’ and ‘Zhongza No. 9’, with the former being more tolerant to salinealkaline stress) seedlings grown hydroponically were subjected to salinityalkalinity stress condition (NaCl:Na2SO4:NaHCO3:Na2CO3=1:9:9:1) without or with foliar application of 0.25 mmol·L-1spermidine (Spd), and the root morphology and physiological characteristics of mitochondrial membrane were analyzed 8 days after treatment, to explore the protective effects of exogenous Spd on mitochondrial function in tomato roots under salinityalkalinity stress. The results showed that the salinityalkalinity stress increased the concentrations of both mitochondrial H2O2 and MDA as well as the mitochondrial membrane permeability in the roots of the two cultivars, while it decreased the mitochondrial membrane fluidity, membrane potential, Cyt c/a and H+-ATPase activity, which impaired the mitochondria and therefore inhibited the root growth; and these effects were more obvious in ‘Zhongza No. 9’ than in ‘Jinpengechaoguan’. Under the salinityalkalinity stress, foliar application Spd could effectively decrease the concentrations of mitochondrial H2O2 and MDA and mitochondrial membrane permeability, while increased the mitochondrial membrane fluidity, membrane potential, Cyt c/a and H+-ATPase activity. These results suggested that exogenous Spd could effectively mitigate the damage on mitochondria induced by salinityalkalinity stress, and the alleviation effect was more obvious in ‘Zhongza No. 9’ than in ‘Jinpengchaoguan’.
