The effects of SNP on membrane lipid peroxidation, osmotic adjustment substance and antioxidant activity of biennial ‘Bixiangzao’ rooted cuttings under cold stress were studied by foliar spray of SNP. The results show that suitable SNP concentration treatment could reduce the relative conductivity of tea leaves, inhibit the elevated malondialdehyde content, promote the accumulation of proline, soluble protein and sugar, and increase the superoxide dismutase, catalase activities, thereby alleviate the damage of cold stress on tea leaves. In addition, the optimal concentration of SNP was 200 μmol?L-1.
