To investigate the regulatory effect of the jasmonic acid (JA) signaling pathway on low-temperature tolerance in hulless barley seedlings, this study utilized ‘Kunlun 15’ as the experimental material. The agronomic traits and physiological indicators were measured under low-temperature stress treated with Bestatin and methyl jasmonate (MeJA), and the expression levels of JA synthesis and regulation-associated genes in leaves and roots were examined. The result indicated that low-temperature stress substantially decreased plant height, root length, plant dry (fresh) weight, root dry (fresh) weight, and SPAD value in hulless barley, indicating a marked inhibitory effect on growth. Treatment with either Bestatin or MeJA under low-temperature stress notably enhanced the accumulation of soluble sugars and free proline in both leaves and roots, increased the activity of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, POD, CAT), and significantly induced the gene expression of JA synthesis and signaling pathways as well as low temperature tolerance-related genes regulated by JA in hulless barley. These responses suggest that Bestatin and MeJA treatments mitigate low-temperature stress damage in hulless barley by improving its low-temperature resistance. The study elucidated consistent regulatory patterns in agronomic traits, physiological indicators, and gene expression induced by Bestatin and MeJA treatments in hulless barley.
