The effects of exogenous salicylic acid (SA), sodium nitropusside (SNP, a nitric oxide donor), or their combination on dwarf polish wheat (Triticum polonicum L.) seedlings under UV-B stress were studied. UV-B stress significantly decreased plant height, shoot dry mass, pigment content, net photosynthetic rate, intercellular CO 2 concentration, stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, and variable to maximum chlorophyll fluorescence ratio (F v /F m ) in all plants, but less in the presence of SA, SNP, and their combination. On the other hand, there were considerable increases in malondialdehyde, proline, O 2•-and H 2 O 2 content under UV-B stress. When SA, SNP, and their combination were applied, the content of MDA, proline, H 2 O 2 , and O 2 •-was less increased. Moreover, there were considerable increases in activities of superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, ascorbate peroxidase, and glutathione reductase under UV-B stress and more in the presence of SA, SNP, and their combination. Therefore, it is considered that the combination of SA, SNP, and especially their combination can alleviate UV-B stress in dwarf polish wheat.
