This study aims to investigate the physiological responses of strawberry plants under low temperature stress and the foliar application of potassium, calcium, amino acids and water as the adjusted management practices. The results showed that the effect of low temperature stress at 4°C for 24~48 h on strawberry plants was the most deleterious, with leaf electrolyte leakage rate reaching the peak at 24 h. The highest contents of both malondialdehyde (MDA) and soluble proteins in the plants were reached under low temperature stress 4℃for 48 h. Application of different foliar liquid fertilizers resulted in reduced level of soluble proteins by 1.0%~4.2%, and the water treatment reducing the least. The water treatment also led to the lowest MDA content 33.5 nmol·g-1. There were significant differences among the treatments. The lowest electrolyte leakage rate 14.9%, was exhibited in the water treatment. According to the results, foliar water application could increase the content of soluble proteins, reduce the MDA content, and lower down the electrolytes leakage. The water treatment was beneficial to the strawberry plants on low temperature tolerance. These physiological parameters could be used as the indicators of strawberry plants under low temperature stress. |
