Proline priming: An efficient strategy to mitigate salinity impact at early developmental stages of the oilseed halophyte Cakile maritima

Résumé

Seed germination is a vital process, yet extremely sensitive to salinity. This is particularly true for coastal halophytes like the annual oilseed species Cakile maritima, which faces the simultaneous impact of wind, saltspray and seawater inundations in its natural biotopes. At the early developmental stages, this may jeopardize seed germination, plant establishment capacity and hence its development and persistence. Osmopriming is a pre-sowing approach aiming to improve seedling emergence and establishment in adverse environments. Here, we investigate the effect of proline (at 0, 1, 5, and 20 mM) pre-treatment on salt tolerance of C. maritima at the juvenile stage under salinity (0, 100, and 200 mM NaCl). Proline seed priming enhanced the germination rate (28% to 92%) and promoted seedling establishment of C. maritima by stimulating α-amylase activity even at the highest salinity (+55 %). Besides, after transfer of non-germinated seeds on distilled water, salt impact was fully reversible. At the seedling stage, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters showed that this osmoticum increased the maximal quantum yield of PSII photochemistry (Fv/Fm) and the quantum yield of photochemical energy conversion [Y(II)]. In contrast, the quantum yield of nonregulated nonphotochemical energy dissipation [Y(NO)] and the quantum yield of regulated nonphotochemical energy dissipation [Y(NPQ)], which might be correlated to the mitigation of the salt deleterious effects on PSII. Proline and carbohydrate concentrations also increased following priming. Overall, our data provide strong arguments for using proline at low doses (1 and 5 mM) as a successful priming agent to alleviate salinity-induced adverse effect on plants.
