Abstract
A method for improving plant drought tolerance, a sericin protein working solution and an application thereof are provided, which relate to the field of plant cultivation technologies. The method includes: preparing a sericin protein working solution with a concentration of 0.1 g/L to 0.5 g/L, and spraying the sericin protein working solution onto foliage of tomato plants. The method for improving plant drought tolerance significantly improve a survival rate, a biomass, and a water content of the tomato plants under drought stress conditions.
Claims6
An application of a sericin protein working solution in tomato plant cultivation, wherein the sericin protein working solution is configured to improve a drought tolerance of a tomato plant;
- wherein a preparation method of the sericin protein working solution comprises:
- fragmenting silkworm cocoons to obtain fragmented silkworm cocoons, boiling the fragmented silkworm cocoons in distilled water for 10 minutes (min) to 15 min to obtain a sericin protein stock solution;
- diluting the sericin protein stock solution with distilled water to a concentration of 0.1 gram per liter (g/L) to 0.5 g/L, to obtain the sericin protein working solution;
- and an amount ratio of the silkworm cocoons to the distilled water is 5 grams (g) to 10 g:
- 200 milliliters (mL);
- wherein the application comprises:
- spraying the sericin protein working solution onto adaxial surfaces of leaves of the tomato plant when the tomato plant grows to a five-true-leaves and one-heart stage, with a spray volume of 10 mL/plant to 15 mL/plant;
- wherein a spraying timing is set when the tomato plant grows to the five-true-leaves and one-heart stage, the spraying is performed at a time point when a cultivation environment changes from darkness to light;
- and
- wherein the cultivation environment is repeated cycles of 16 hours (h) of light and 8 h of darkness.
