Fungicides are widely used for controlling fungi in crop plants. However, their roles in conferring abiotic stress tolerance are still elusive. In this study, the effect of tebuconazole (TEB) and trifloxystrobin (TRI) on wheat seedlings (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Norin 61) was investigated under salt stress. Seedlings were pre-treated for 48 h with fungicide (1.375 µM TEB + 0.5 µM TRI) and then subjected to salt stress (250 mM NaCl) for 5 days. Salt treatment alone resulted in oxidative damage and increased lipid peroxidation as evident by higher malondialdehyde (MDA) and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) content. Salt stress also decreased the chlorophyll and relative water content and increased the proline (Pro) content. Furthermore, salt stress increased the dehydroascorbate (DHA) and glutathione disulfide (GSSG) content while ascorbate (AsA), the AsA/DHA ratio, reduced glutathione (GSH) and the GSH/GSSG ratio decreased. However, a combined application of TEB and TRI significantly alleviated growth inhibition, photosynthetic pigments and leaf water status improved under salt stress. Application of TEB and TRI also decreased MDA, electrolyte leakage, and H₂O₂ content by modulating the contents of AsA and GSH, and enzymatic antioxidant activities. In addition, TEB and TRI regulated K⁺/Na⁺ homeostasis by improving the K⁺/Na⁺ ratio under salt stress. These results suggested that exogenous application of TEB and TRI rendered the wheat seedling more tolerant to salinity stress by controlling ROS and methylglyoxal (MG) production through the regulation of the antioxidant defense and MG detoxification systems.
