不同化感潜力水稻(Oryza sativa L.)苗期的氮素养分效率及相关基因的表达

为了阐明养分水平引起水稻(Oryza sativa L.)化感抑草潜力变化的生理生态机制,研究了不同N素营养处理下,不同化感潜力水稻苗期对N素营养逆境的响应特性及N素养分效率的差异,并运用实时荧光定量RT-PCR技术(FQ-PCR)检测与N素代谢和次生代谢关键酶的基因表达.结果表明:弱化感水稻品种Lemont对N素营养胁迫较敏感,强化感水稻品种PI312777对资源波动的适应性较强,N素养分效率较高.FQ-PCR分析结果显示,在低N条件下Lemont中的亚硝酸还原酶基因(nir),谷氨酰胺合成酶基因(gs)相对表达量均有不同幅度的下调, PI312777分别下调了1.2倍和1.4倍,而Lemont分别下调了3.0倍和1.8倍, Lemont下调的幅度分别是PI312777的2.5倍和1.3倍,但对于苯丙氨酸解氨酶基因(pal)与3-羟基-3甲基戊二酰辅酶A还原酶基因(hmgr)而言, PI312777叶组织中的pal和hmgr均上调表达,与对照相比上调了6.0倍和1.6倍,而Lemont中对应的基因均下调表达,分别下调了1.3倍和6.8倍,佐证了上述差异的分子生态学特性.     

低钾胁迫对水稻(Oryza sativa L.)化感潜力变化的影响

研究以国际公认的化感水稻P1312777和非化感水稻Lemont为供体,稗草（Echinochloa cru-galli L.）为受体,采用稻／稗共培体系,研究低钾胁迫对水稻化感潜力变化的影响及其机制。受体稗草的形态指标分析结果表明,低钾胁迫促使化感水稻P1312777对共培稗草的根长、株高和干重的抑制率均升高,增幅远大于非化感水稻Lemont。受体稗草生理生化指标分析结果表明,低钾胁迫下化感与非化感水稻对受体稗草保护酶系（SOD、POD、CAT）及根系活力的抑制作用增强,但化感水稻P1312777比非化感水稻Lemont的抑制程度大,且达极显著差异。实时荧光定量PCR分析结果表明,低钾胁迫下,化感水稻P1312777根部与叶部中酚类代谢的关键酶——苯丙氨酸解氨酶、肉桂酸-4-羟化酶、羟化酶、O-甲基转移酶的基因均上调表达,而非化感水稻根部相应酶均下调表达,叶部除苯丙氨酸解氨酶上调,其余酶也下调表达。而萜类代谢途径关键酶——HMG—CoA还原酶、角鲨烯合酶、单萜烯环化酶、倍半萜烯环化酶、二萜烯环化酶的基因,在两种水稻根部中呈现出相同或相似的表达方式（上调或下调）,即HMG—CoA还原酶上调表达,角鲨烯合酶、单萜烯环化酶、倍半萜烯环化酶、二萜烯环化酶下调表达;而在水稻叶部,非化感水稻Lmont相应酶基因表达方式仍然不变,化感水稻P1312777除了角鲨烯合酶下调表达,其余4个酶均上调表达。水稻根系分泌物中酚类物质的HPLC分析结果表明,低钾胁迫下,化感水稻P1312777根系分泌物中,所检出的酚酸类物质总量是正常营养条件下的2．30倍,而非化感水稻Lemont则是正常营养条件下的0．91倍。综合分析认为低钾胁迫下,化感水稻P1312777抑草能力增强主要是由于酚类代谢途径关键酶基因表达上调,导致酚类代谢途径旺盛,分泌出更多的酚类物质,进而破坏受体稗草保护酶系统,抑制了稗草的正常生长。     

外源水杨酸调控水稻化感抑草作用及其分子生理特性

为了探讨外源水杨酸（SA）调控水稻化感抑草效应的可行性,研究了不同浓度的外源SA对强化感水稻PI312777抑草效应的影响及其生理生化特性,并运用实时定量RT-PCR(FQ-PCR)技术检测SA介导的关键酶苯丙氨酸解氨酶基因（ZB8）的相对表达量.结果表明：外源SA能够诱导水稻化感抑草效应增强,而且这种诱导效应与SA的浓度和处理时间相关.叶面喷施SA后,PI312777对稗草的抑制率显著提高,其根系活力、超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）和过氧化物酶（POD）活性增强,过氧化氢酶（CAT）活性降低;而伴生杂草稗草的相应生理指标的变化趋势则相反.PI312777植株中的苯丙氨酸解氨酶（PAL）活性增强,总酚含量升高.0.2 mmol·L^-1的SA诱导水稻化感抑草效应最显著,该浓度下目的基因ZB8的相对表达丰度随处理时间先上调后下调,在24 h达到表达高峰.     

不同氮素供应下水稻酚类物质代谢关键酶基因差异表达

运用实时荧光定量PCR技术探讨了不同供氮条件下强化感与弱化感水稻苯丙烷代谢途径中9个关键酶基因的表达差异。结果表明,与正常氮素供应相比,低氮胁迫引起强化感水稻‘P1312777’中与酚类代谢途径相关的9个关键酶基因表达量均上调,表达量增幅在1.9～5.4倍之间,且以PAL基因上调倍数最大。而弱化感水稻‘Lemont’则相反,只有2个基因(苯丙氨酸裂解酶基因和肉桂酰CoA基因)表达上调,但上调倍数分别是强化感水稻对应的基因的22%和74%,其余的7个基因表达均下调,降幅在29%～72%之间,表明低氮胁迫诱发的水稻化感抑草能力增强与其体内酚类物质合成代谢增强有关。     

低磷营养胁迫下水稻化感抑草潜力的变化特性及其作用机理

在低磷(0.5 mg·L^-1) 营养胁迫下,运用生理生化方法分析了化感水稻PI312777（PI）与非化感水稻Lemont (Le) 对稗草抑制作用潜力的变化特性及其内在机理.结果表明,在低磷营养胁迫下,化感水稻品种PI对受体稗草根干重的抑制能力明显提高,在处理后的5 、10和15 d,其对稗草地下部干重的抑制率分别增加了5.64%、3.89%和12.13%,增加幅度比非化感水稻品种Le显著.生理生化分析结果表明,与正常营养条件相比,用低磷营养下生长的化感水稻PI的根系分泌物处理稗草5、10和15 d,受体稗草叶片中POD活性的促进率分别提高了20.19%、15.47%和6.68%,吲哚乙酸氧化酶活性的促进率分别提高了18.08%、17.71%和12.50%,硝酸还原酶活性的抑制率分别增加了13.89%、18.60%和2.10%. 在低磷营养胁迫下,化感水稻通过抑制受体植物的硝酸还原酶活性,影响其对氮营养的吸收,同时显著提高了吲哚乙酸氧化酶活性,减缓了受体稗草的生长速度,提高了其抑草作用潜力.     

应用差异蛋白质组学方法分析作物化感作用的分子机理

试验旨在分析运用分子标记技术(QTL)和差异蛋白组学技术研究作物化感作用分子机理的差异性。首先运用差异蛋白组学技术探讨在生物胁迫(稗草)下水稻化感作用潜力变化的内在分子机理。分别用稗草和水稻的根系分泌物培养切自一株5叶龄化感水稻P I312777植株并经恢复的2个分蘖。7d后,提取处理和对照相同叶位叶片的全蛋白质并进行双向电泳,每张电泳胶片上获得800多个电泳胶点,其中差异表达的蛋白质点有4个。采用M ALD I-TOF-M S对各差异蛋白质点进行肽质量指纹图谱分析,经过SW ISS-PROT数据库查询,结果表明化感水稻P I312777在稗草胁迫下的特异蛋白分别与苯丙氨酸氨解酶(PAL)、硫还原型蛋白(T rx-m)、3-羟基-3-甲基戊二酰辅酶A还原酶(HM GR)和过氧化物酶(POD)相匹配。根据编码以上4个差异蛋白质的DNA序列,发现编码以上4个差异蛋白的基因分别位于水稻染色体4、7、8和12上的特定克隆位点,这就是与化感作用相关基因。前人也运用QTL方法开展作物化感作用的分子机理研究,但由于所采用的供体材料、受体植物及对表型性状的评价方法等的不同,定位结果存在较大的差异。综合比较两种方法后认为,运用差异蛋白组学技术分析水稻化感作用的分子机理,比QTL技术更加直接和深入。因为比较胁迫处理和对照植物组织的2-DE图谱将能鉴定出由表达候选基因编码的胁迫蛋白质,氨基酸残基序列的测定将揭示那些功能与胁迫性状密切相关的蛋白质,这种编码的基因就是兼具功能与表达的候选基因。     

不同供氮条件下水稻的化感抑草作用与资源竞争分析

为探讨化感水稻在不同氮素水平下的生物干扰现象,提出了一种新的测试方法———化感竞争分离法(allelopathyandcompetitionseparation basedbioassay,ACS),成功地区分了在稻/稗共生系统中水稻化感作用与资源竞争及其在不同N条件下的反应特性.结果表明,水稻PI312777具有较强的生物干扰能力.在不同N水平下,其资源竞争能力较强且表现稳定,但化感作用潜力则随供N水平的下降而明显增强.水稻Lemont不具化感作用潜力,在供N水平正常或充足条件下,其资源竞争能力减弱,但在N胁迫下却明显增强.这是在环境资源贫乏时,稻/稗共生系统中生态位竞争加剧的结果.     

水稻化感生物测试方法的比较及应用

选用8个化感作用潜力各异的水稻品种(系)：PI312777、Lemont、Moroberekan、IAC25、IACA7、IAC120、Batatais、Iguape Cateto为供试材料,以田间伴生稗草为受体材料,比较分析了目前较为通用的3种生物测试方法：琼脂迟播共培法(RSA)、石英砂迟播共培法(RSS)和根系分泌物培养法(SRE)对水稻化感潜力的测试效果．结果表明,RSA法应用于测试水稻化感作用潜力的效果最好,RSS法和SRE法的测试结果虽较为一致,但两者都存在不足．据此,运用RSA法对57个水稻材料进行了化感抗草种质资源的初步筛选,从中获得5个强化感作用潜力的水稻材料：Iguape Cateto、PI312777、Azucena、Taichung Native 1和IAC25．     

水稻和稗草共生土壤微生物生物量碳及酶活性的变化

以稻田稗草、化感水稻PI312777和普通水稻辽粳9为试材,研究了田间稗草和水稻1∶1共生条件下,土壤微生物生物量碳及脱氢酶、脲酶和转化酶活性的变化.结果表明：在稗草 的干扰下,化感水稻PI312777根区土壤微生物生物量碳含量比单作减少了 50.52％（P<0.01）,而行间土壤微生物生物量碳含量增加;普通水稻辽粳9根区土壤 微生物生物量碳含量比单作减少了38.99％（P<0.01）,但其行间土壤微生物生物量碳含量无明显变化.两个水稻品种根区土壤脱氢酶活性均被显著抑制（P<0.05）,下降率都在20％以上;PI312777根区土壤脲酶和转化酶活性均被显著促进（P<0.01）;而辽粳9根区土壤转化酶活性也被显著抑制（P<0.01）,但脲酶活性无明显变化.化感水稻根区土壤微生物生物量碳含量的显著减少及脲酶、转化酶活性的增加是其化感特性的表现,表明土壤微生物和酶均参与了水稻和稗草的种间作用,化感水稻具有抗稗草干扰的明显优势.     

不同水层和密度条件下化感作用水稻对无芒稗的干扰控制作用

不同水层下水稻对无芒稗的干扰控制作用研究表明,水稻化感作用品种吓一跳、谷梅2号和中156对无芒稗的株高抑制作用比无化感作用品种秀水63和春江11呈显著性差异．随盆栽水稻密度增加,水稻对无芒稗的干扰控制作用加大．在每盆4株栽植密度下,水稻化感作用品种鸡早籼、谷梅2号显著抑制无芒稗植株株高;在每盆32株密度时,水稻化感作用品种吓一跳、PI312777、TN1等对受控无芒稗的干扰控制与无化感作用品种春江11相比,呈显著性水平．     

Genomic analysis of allelopathic response to low nitrogen and barnyardgrass competition in rice (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Oryza sativa</Emphasis> L.)

To explore the molecular mechanism of allelopathic rice in response to low nitrogen (N) supply or accompanying weed stress, allelopathic rice PI 312777 and its counterpart Lemont were grown under low N supply or co-cultured with barnyardgrass [Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) Beauv.] in hydroponics. The suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) technique was employed to isolate the up-regulated genes in the treated rice accession. The results indicated that the expression of the genes associated with N utilization was significantly up-regulated in allelopathic rice PI 312777, and the higher efficiency of N uptake and its utilization were also detected in PI 312777 than that in Lemont when the two rice accessions were exposed to low N supply. This result suggested that the allelopathic rice had higher ability to adapt to low N stress than its non-allelopathic counterpart. However, a different response was observed when the allelopathic rice was exposed to accompanying weed (barnyardgrass) co-cultured in full Hoagland solution (normal N supply). It showed that the expression of the genes associated with allelochemical synthesis and its detoxification were all up-regulated in the allelopathic rice when co-cultured with the target weed under normal N supply. The results suggested that the allelopathic rice should be a better competitor in the rice-weed co-culture system, which could be attributed to increasing de novo biosynthesis and detoxification of allelochemicals in rice, consequently resulting in enhanced allelopathic effect on the target and preventing the autotoxicity in this process. These findings suggested that the accompanying weed, barnyardgrass is not only the stressful factor, but also one of the triggers in activating allelopathy in rice. This implies that the allelopathic rice is sensible of the existing target in chemical communication.     

Analysis of gene expressions associated with increased allelopathy in rice (Oryza sativa L.) induced by exogenous salicylic acid

The defense characteristics of allelopathic rice accession PI312777 and its counterpart Lemont induced by exogenous salicylic acid (SA) to suppress troublesome weed barnyardgrass (BYG) were investigated using the methods of suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR). The results showed that exogenous SA could induce the allelopathic effect of rice on BYG and this inducible defense was SA dose-respondent and treatment time-dependent. PI312777 exhibited higher inhibitory effect than Lemont on BYG after treated with different concentrations of SA. The activities of cell protective enzymes including SOD, POD and CAT in the BYG plants co-cultured with PI312777 treated by SA were highly depressed compared with the control (co-cultured with rice without SA-treatment). Similar but lower depression on these enzymes except for CAT was also observed in the BYG plants when co-cultured with Lemont treated by SA. It is therefore suggested that allelopathic rice should be more sensitive than non-allelopathic rice to exogenous SA. Seventeen genes induced by SA were obtained by SSH analysis from PI312777. These genes encode receptor-kinase proteins, ubiquitin carrier proteins, proteins related to phenylpropanoid metabolism, antioxidant related proteins and some growth-mediating proteins. The differential expressions of these genes were validated in part by qRT-PCR in the two rice accessions. Our work elucidated that allelopathic rice possesses an active chemical defense and auto-detoxifying enzyme system such as the up-regulated enzymes involved in de novo biosynthesis of phenolic allelochemicals and the glutathione-S-transferase (GST) associated with xenobiotic detoxification.     

Separation of allelopathy from resource competition using rice/barnyardgrass mixed-cultures

Plant-plant interference is the combined effect of allelopathy, resource competition, and many other factors. Separating allelopathy from resource competition is almost impossible in natural systems but it is important to evaluate the relative contribution of each of the two mechanisms on plant interference. Research on allelopathy in natural and cultivated plant communities has been hindered in the absence of a reliable method that can separate allelopathic effect from resource competition. In this paper, the interactions between allelopathic rice accession PI312777, non-allelopathic rice accession Lemont and barnyardgrass were explored respectively by using a target (rice)-neighbor (barnyardgrass) mixed-culture in hydroponic system. The relative competitive intensity (RCI), the relative neighbor effect (RNE) and the competitive ratio (CR) were used to quantify the intensity of competition between each of the two different potentially allelopathic rice accessions and barnyardgrass. Use of hydroponic culture system enabled us to exclude any uncontrolled factors that might operate in the soil and we were able to separate allelopathy from resource competition between each rice accession and barnyardgrass. The RCI and RNE values showed that the plant-plant interaction was positive (facilitation) for PI312777 but that was negative (competition) for Lemont and barnyardgrass in rice/barnyardgrass mixed-cultures. The CR values showed that one PI312777 plant was more competitive than 2 barnyardgrass plants. The allelopathic effects of PI312777 were much more intense than the resource competition in rice/barnyardgrass mixed cultures. The reverse was true for Lemont. These results demonstrate that the allelopathic effect of PI312777 was predominant in rice/barnyardgrass mixed-cultures. The most significant result of our study is the discovery of an experimental design, target-neighbor mixed-culture in combination with competition indices, can successfully separate allelopathic effects from competition.     

化感水稻根际微生物类群及酶活性变化

以化感水稻PI312777（PI）和非化感水稻Lemont（LE）为材料,分别测定不同水稻叶龄期（3～7叶期）根际微生物区系变化及根际土壤酶活性.结果表明,化感水稻明显影响土壤根际微生物类群及相关酶活性.化感水稻PI根际细菌、放线菌、固氮菌的数量高于非化感水稻LE,增幅分别在11.2%～28.3%、40%～78.6%和111.5%～173.9%之间,而真菌数量低于非化感水稻LE,最高仅为其值的25.5％,说明化感水稻PI对绝大多数细菌、放线菌、固氮菌生长有促进作用,对一些真菌生长有抑制作用.进一步分析表明,化感水稻PI对氨化细菌、亚硝酸细菌、硝酸细菌、好气性固氮菌、好气性纤维素分解菌、硫化细菌的生长具有促进作用,其中以氨化细菌、好气性固氮菌的更为明显,最低增幅分别为53.7％和57.6％;而对反硫化细菌、反硝化细菌生长有抑制作用,其值最高分别为非化感水稻的54.2％和50.6％.此外,化感水稻PI根系分泌物对脲酶、磷酸酶、蔗糖酶的活性具有促进作用,而对过氧化氢酶则呈抑制作用.
