摘　　要：A hydroponics experiment was conducted to evaluate the role of potassium (K) and silicon (Si) in mitigating the deleterious effects of NaCl on sugarcane genotypes differing in salt tolerance.Two salt-sensitive (CPF 243 and SPF 213) and two salt-tolerant (HSF 240 and CP 77-400) sugarcane genotypes were grown for six weeks in 1/2 strength Johnson's nutrient solution.The nutrient solution was salinized by two NaCl levels (0 and 100 mmol L 1 NaCl) and supplied with two levels of K (0 and 3 mmol L 1) and Si (0 and 2 mmol L 1).Applied NaCl enhanced Na + concentration in plant tissues and significantly (P ≤ 0.05) reduced shoot and root dry matter in four sugarcane genotypes.However,the magnitude of reduction was much greater in salt-sensitive genotypes than salt-tolerant genotypes.The salts interfered with the absorption of K + and Ca 2+ and significantly (P ≤ 0.05) decreased their uptake in sugarcane genotypes.Addition of K and Si either alone or in combination significantly (P ≤ 0.05) inhibited the uptake and transport of Na + from roots to shoots and improved dry matter yields under NaCl conditions.Potassium uptake,K + /Na + ratios,and Ca 2+ and Si uptake were also significantly (P ≤ 0.05) increased by the addition of K and/or Si to the root medium.In this study,K and Si-enhanced salt tolerance in sugarcane genotypes was ascribed to decreased Na + concentration and increased K + with a resultant improvement in K + /Na + ratio,which is a good indicator to assess plant tolerance to salt stress.However,further verification of these results is warranted under field conditions.A hydroponics experiment was conducted to evaluate the role of potassium （K） and silicon （Si） in mitigating the deleterious effects of NaCl on sugarcane genotypes differing in salt tolerance. Two salt-sensitive （CPF 243 and SPF 213） and two salt-tolerant （HSF 240 and CP 77-400） sugarcane genotypes were grown for six weeks in 1/2 strength Johnson＇s nutrient solution. The nutrient solution was salinized by two NaCl levels （0 and 100 mmol L^-1 NaCl） and supplied with two levels of K （0 and 3 mmol L^-1） and Si （0 and 2 mmol L^-1）. Applied NaCl enhanced Na^＋ concentration in plant tissues and significantly （P 〈 0.05） reduced shoot and root dry matter in four sugarcane genotypes. However, the magnitude of reduction was much greater in salt-sensitive genotypes than salt-tolerant genotypes. The salts interfered with the absorption of K^＋ and Ca^2＋ and significantly （P ≤0.05） decreased their uptake in sugarcane genotypes. Addition of K and Si either alone or in combination significantly （P ≤0.05） inhibited the uptake and transport of Na^＋ from roots to shoots and improved dry matter yields under NaCl conditions. Potassium uptake, K^＋/Na^＋ ratios, and Ca^2＋ and Si uptake were also significantly （P ≤ 0.05） increased by the addition of K and/or Si to the root medium. In this study, K and Si-enhanced salt tolerance in sugarcane genotypes was ascribed to decreased Na^＋ concentration and increased K^＋ with a resultant improvement in K^＋/Na^＋ ratio, which is a good indicator to assess plant tolerance to salt stress. However, further verification of these results is warranted under field conditions.
