Abstract: In order to investigate the effects of CdCl2 treatment on the growth and protein expression of Nicotiana benthamiana,the seedlings were treated with CdCl2. The growth status of the seedlings was observed and the length of the root and stem was recorded. The protein of Nicotiana benthamiana were extracted by SDS extraction,and isolated by SDS-PAGE. A large number of experimental data showed that low concentration of CdCl2 could promote the growth of the seedlings,while the high concentration of CdCl2 inhibited the growth of the seedlings. When the concentration of CdCl2 reached 0.5 mmol/L,the growth of seedlings began to be inhibited. If the concentration of CdCl2 was greater than 1.5 mmol/L,the seedlings turned yellow and withered. SDS-PAGE showed that low concentration of CdCl2 could increase the total protein content of the plant,but with the increase of CdCl2 concentration,the total protein content of Nicotiana benthamiana significantly decreased.

Key words: CdCl2, Nicotiana benthamiana, seedling, total protein, SDS-PAGE
