The paper studied the effects of drought stress, selenium (Se) supply and their combination on growth and physiological characteristics of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv Shijiazhuang NO. 8) seedlings. The experimental design included two water treatments (well-watered, 75% of maximum field capacity; drought stress, 30% of maximum field capacity) and two Se levels (0; 0.5 mg/kg) to determine whether Se can modify the negative impacts of drought stress on seedling growth and physiological traits. Drought stress caused a marked decline in growth parameters and soluble protein content, whereas it induced an increase in root activity, proline content and the activities of peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT) of leaf tissue. On the other hand, Se supply induced an increase in biomass accumulation only underwellwatered condition. Under drought stress, Se supply increased free proline content, root activity and the activities of POD and CAT in leaf tissue, but did not significantly affect on growth parameters. These results implied that drought stress brought harmful effects on wheat seedlings, and that Se supply was favorable for biomass accumulation of wheat seedlings under well-watered condition. However, it did not significantly affect on biomass accumulation under drought stress, although it increased root activity and activities of some antioxidant index in experimental periods.
