Proline accumulation was studied in the leaves of Glycine max subjected to salt stress in the presence of aminoguanidine (AG, a specific inhibitor of diamine oxidase, DAO) and exogenous putrescine (Put). Both DAO activity and proline content were increased, while endogenous Put content was decreased in soybean leaves under 50 to 150 mM NaCl. There was a negative correlation between proline accumulation and endogenous Put content. The addition of AG during NaCl stress inhibited DAO activity, caused Put accumulation and a 15 to 20% decrease in proline content. Application of 1 mM Put to NaCl solution markedly increased proline content. The promotive effect of Put application could be alleviated by the treatment with Put plus AG. Moreover, the application of AG had no effect on proline accumulation in soybean seedlings grown under normal condition. These results indicate that the quantitative contribution of Put degradation to proline formation is 15-20%.
