Abstract
Matrine is a natural compound that can effectively kill agricultural pests. However, whether Matrine can affect nitrogen utilization in wheat has not been reported. In this research, leaf spraying Matrine (100mg/L) was used to study the changes of photosynthetic pigment and nitrogen metabolic capacity at seedling stage of wheat leaves by the way of sand culture under the condition of nitrogen deficit. The results showed that exogenous Matrine decreased SOD and CAT activities in wheat leaves, but increased photosynthetic pigment content, nitrate reductase activity and nitrogen content in wheat leaves, thus ensuring wheat growth and development. The research can provide theoretical basis and technical support for Matrine to resist the combined damage of biological and abiotic stress in wheat cultivation
