Abstract:In this study, the salt-tolerant ability of 60 asparagus bean cultivars was identified by investigating their plant weight, leaf chlorophyll and soluble protein content, injury rate and CAT activity, after their seedlings exposure to 0 or 75 mM NaCl for 15 days. According to our patent technology (patent No. ZL200810048423.5), the salt tolerant comprehensive evaluation values (D value) of these cultivars were tested, and then they were classified into different salt-tolerant ability groups based on the evaluation standard. The results showed that eleven cultivars of them including Zikui,,Kangbingluhua etc were classified into salt-tolerant cultivar group, eight cultivars such as Zhijiang 14, Baipi, and Aiziweiqing etc into salt-sensitive group, the remaining 41 cultivars into moderate salt-tolerant group. The results provide the new information about asparagus bean cultivars’ salt tolerant ability and enrich the salt-tolerant germplasm identification data.
