The effects of spraying plant growth regulator under drought stress on seedling growth and physiological and biochemical indexes of soybean were studied based on pot experiment. The results indicated that the plant growth regulator could increase plant height
main root length
lateral root number
root/shoot ratio
chlorophyll content
proline content and the activity of peroxydase(POD)
and improve the ability of drought-resistance of soybean seedlings. Among the 4 plant growth regulators used in this experiment
PSB was the best effective for the drought-resistance of soybean seedlings.
