摘要
【目的】低磷胁迫是限制巨桉生长发育的主要因素之一。丛枝菌根(arbuscular mycorrhiza,AM)真菌与巨桉(Eucalyptus grandis)共生可以促进磷营养吸收。研究不同磷浓度胁迫下,接种AM真菌的巨桉中磷饥饿响应基因SPX和PHR的表达水平,以探究低磷条件下AM真菌对巨桉磷饥饿响应基因表达的影响。【方法】在不同供磷水平(3、30、100、300μmol/L NaH_(2)PO_(4))下对巨桉幼苗接种AM真菌异形根孢囊霉(Rhizophagus irregularis),测定植株生长指标和基因表达水平,筛选AM真菌诱导的巨桉磷饥饿响应途径关键基因PHR和SPX。【结果】接种AM真菌后,极低磷(3μmol/L)和低磷(30μmol/L)处理的巨桉幼苗菌根定殖率为82.61%和67.53%,显著高于中磷(100μmol/L)和高磷(300μmol/L)处理的38.60%和38.64%,株高、根长、生物量也显著提高。采用生物信息学方法从巨桉基因组中筛选出2个PHR基因和6个SPX基因,接种AM真菌的巨桉幼苗EgPHR 2表达水平比未接种幼苗分别上升273.64%(30μmol/L)、294.67%(100μmol/L)和698.15%(300μmol/L),EgSPX 2表达水平分别上升2517.15%(30μmol/L)、606.40%(100μmol/L)和923.13%(300μmol/L)。【结论】EgPHR 2和EgSPX 2表现出较强的菌根特异性,在菌根中高度表达,说明EgPHR 2和EgSPX 2的表达与AM真菌在巨桉幼苗根内的定殖密切相关,且EgPHR 2在高磷条件下表达水平更高,EgSPX 2在低磷条件下表达水平更高。
【Objective】Low phosphorus stress is one of the primary factors limiting the growth and development of eucalyptus(Eucalyptus grandis).Arbuscular mycorrhiza(AM)fungi,through their symbiotic relationship with plants,are known to enhance phosphorus absorption,particularly under low phosphorus conditions.This mutualistic association plays a crucial role in alleviating phosphorus limitation in plants by increasing the surface area for nutrient uptake and facilitating the transport of phosphorus from soil to plant.To investigate the effect of AM fungi on the expression of phosphorus(P)starvation response genes in E.grandis under low-P conditions,this study analyzed the expression levels of SPX and PHR genes,which are involved in P starvation response,in E.grandis seedlings inoculated with AM fungi across different phosphorus concentrations.Specifically,the study focused on the role of AM fungi in modulating the expression of key genes involved in the phosphate starvation response,namely,PHR and SPX genes.【Method】E.grandis seedlings were inoculated with the AM fungus Rhizophagus irregularis under varying phosphorus supply levels.Four phosphorus treatments were applied:extremely low(3μmol/L NaH_(2)PO_(4)),low(30μmol/L),medium(100μmol/L)and high(300μmol/L).The seedlings were grown under controlled conditions,and various plant physiological parameters,including plant height,root length and biomass,were measured to assess the impact of the phosphorus supply and AM fungi inoculation on growth.The gene expression levels of phosphate starvation response genes,particularly EgPHR 2 and EgSPX 2,were analyzed through quantitative PCR to identify key genes involved in the phosphorus acquisition pathway and their regulation under different phosphorus conditions.【Result】Mycorrhizal inoculation had a significant impact on the colonization rates of E.grandis roots,especially under low phosphorus conditions.The mycorrhizal colonization rates for seedlings treated with extremely low(3μmol/L NaH 2PO 4)and low(30μmol/L NaH 2PO 4)phosphorus were 82.61%and 67.53%,respectively,those were significantly higher than the colonization rates under medium(100μmol/L NaH 2PO 4,38.60%)and high phosphorus(300μmol/L NaH 2PO 4,38.64%)treatments.In addition to improved colonization,AM fungi inoculation also led to significant increases in plant height,root length,and biomass,particularly under phosphorus-limited conditions.Bioinformatics analysis of the E.grandis genome identified two PHR genes and six SPX genes that are likely involved in the phosphate starvation response.The expression of EgPHR 2 and EgSPX 2 in AM-inoculated seedlings was significantly higher compared to non-inoculated controls.Specifically,the expression of EgPHR 2 increased by 273.64%,294.67%,and 698.15%at 30μmol/L,100μmol/L and 300μmol/L phosphorus,respectively.Similarly,EgSPX 2 expression showed substantial increases of 2517.15%,606.40%and 923.13%under the same phosphorus conditions,indicating a strong upregulation of these genes in response to phosphorus limitation.【Conclusion】The findings of this study suggest that EgPHR 2 and EgSPX 2 are specifically involved in the expression is closely linked to the colonization of E.grandis roots by AM fungi.The expression of EgPHR 2 was particularly elevated under high phosphorus conditions,while EgSPX 2 showed higher expression under low phosphorus conditions,highlighting their distinct roles in phosphorus homeostasis.The results also demonstrate that AM fungi play a crucial role in E.grandis,particularly under phosphorus-deficient conditions,by modulating the expression of key genes involved in phosphorus acquisition and signaling pathways.
