[Method] A sand culture experiment was conducted under different cotton straw ex-tract levels (0%, 1.0%, 2.0%, 4.0%, 8.0% and 10.0%), and the morphology and physiological activity of wheat (Yangmai 13) root were studied. [Result] The cotton straw extract inhibited the elongation of wheat roots, but increased the root diame-ter, resulting in the decreased root surface area and volume; The extract treatments induced the increase of root reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, which led to an increased root membrane lipid peroxidation, thereby reducing the root vigor and in-hibiting the root water uptake and formation of biomass; With the increase of con-centration of cotton straw extract, the total phenolic acid content in the extract in-creased continuously, and the total phenolic acid content was closely related to the morphogenesis and physiological activity of wheat root. [Conclusion] The cotton straw extract inhibited the morphogenesis and physiological activity of wheat root through affecting the root ROS level, and the total phenolic content was one of the main limiting factors.展开更多
