We investigated whether spermidine (Spd) application alleviates salinity-induced damage in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L), and explored defence mechanisms associated with stress-related ion balance, antioxidant metabolism, and gene expression. We examined the response of 30-day-old alfalfa maintained in hydroponic culture tests for 7 days and subjected to one of six treatments: half-strength Hoagland solution (control); 1% NaCl; 10M Spd+1% NaCl; 20M Spd+1% NaCl; 40M Spd+1% NaCl; and 60M Spd+1% NaCl. In salinity-stressed plants, chlorophyll b, chlorophyll a+b, and total protein showed significant decreases, while marked increases were detected in relative electrolyte leakage, H2O2 content, glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), glutathione reductase (GR) activity, the Na+/K+ ratio, and APX1, APX2, GR, and SOD gene expression levels. Chlorophyll a and total protein content markedly increased under exogenous application of 20M Spd, while H2O2 content, GSH, SOD, CAT, POD, GR activity, the Na+/K+ ratio, and APX2, GR, and SOD expression levels all decreased. These results indicated that exogenous application of 20M spermidine effectively alleviates salinity-induced damage in alfalfa. These findings could benefit alfalfa cultivation and promote the development and utilization of saline-alkali soil.
