巴西固氮螺菌Yu62由水稻和烟草根部向茎、叶的迁移运动(英文)

巴西固氮螺菌(Azospirillum brasilence)是重要的植物促生内生菌之一。用gfp基因标记固氮螺菌后接种无菌的水稻和烟草幼苗的根部,限菌培养一定时间后,用共聚焦激光显微镜观察,结果表明:除了根内部有发荧光的螺菌定殖外,螺菌还分布在茎、叶的表皮细胞,皮层细胞和维管系统组织的细胞和细胞间隙。从根、茎、叶器官分离固氮螺菌,都存在有较高的螺菌群体密度。这一结果证明螺菌在植物内存在着从根部向茎、叶顶端的迁移现象。这一发现为研究巴西固氮螺菌在宿主植物体内的迁移运动的机制、与植物细胞间的分子相互作用及其对植物的促生作用奠定了生态学和细胞形态学的基础,也为实际应用提供了进一步的科学依据,具有重要的科学和实践意义。

Migration of Azospirillum brasilense Yu62 from Root to Stem and Leaves Inside Rice and Tobacco Plants

Azospirillum brasilense Tarrand, Krieg et Doebereiner is one of the important plant growthpromotion endophytes. A. brasilense Yu62 tagged with gfp gene was inoculated into roots of rice and tobacco seedlings, which were then, cultured in gnotobiotic condition. At a certain days after inoculation the different portions of the seedling were observed under laser confocal microscope, resulting in that A.brasilense Yu62 bacteria were colonized in epidermal and cortical cells, intercellular spaces and vascular system of stem and leaf tissue interiors besides in roots. Higher populations of the bacteria isolated from roots, stems and leaves indicated that A. brasilense Yu62 bacteria could ascend themselves from roots to stems and leaves of rice and tobacco. This observation lays down the foundation for ecology and cell morphology of bacterial migration inside plants, interaction between A. brasilense Yu62 bacteria and host cells as well as the plant-growth promotion, provides scientific basis for further application, and is of importance in science and practice.
