Abstract: To ascertain the physiological and ecological response of salt stress to plants in coastal wetlands, three typical wetland plants, Iris pseudacorus L., Canna indica, and Pontederia cordata L.were used as experimental materials to study the tolerance of these three plants under different salinities (0.5‰、1.0‰、1.5‰、3.0‰) through hydroponic experiments. During the hydroponic treatment, the growth and physiological indexes of the plants were measured every 7 days. The results showed that,under salt stress, the growth of root system, leaf width and plant growth of Iris pseudacorus L., Canna indica, and Pontederia cordata L. showed an overall upward trend. When the salt stress concentration and stress time increase, the growth of the three plants will be inhibited in different ways; The change of MDA content except for Pontederia cordata L. and Iris pseudacorus L. cultivated under the stress of 1‰ NaCl, showed a trend from decline to rise. Canna indica and other treatments of Iris pseudacorus L. showed a trend of first increase and then decrease. The CAT of Iris pseudacorus L., Canna indica, and Pontederia cordata L. all showed a trend of first increase and then decrease. The results of this study showed that the salt tolerance of the three wetland plants was Canna indica>Iris pseudacorus L.>Pontederia cordata L..
