Summary A mutant strain of Anabaena variabilis, strain SA-1 that supported growth of wheat plants in a hydroponic co-culture in nitrogen (N) free medium also produced enough oxygen (O2) to support root respiration. The steady-state concentration of net O2 in the co-culture was dependent on incident light intensity. At an incident photosynthetic photoflux (PPF) of 1000 mol photons·m–2·s–1, net O2 evolution by the co-culture in the root zone reached a maximum value of about 220 mol O2 evolved·h–1·mg chlorophyll (Chl)–1. The O2 concentration in the rhizosphere of the co-culture stayed above the ambient air level. O2 uptake in the dark by strain SA-1-supplemented wheat roots washed free of cyanobacterium was higher than the root respiration of nitrate-grown plants. Nitrate-grown plants required aeration for maximum growth while the wheat-cyanobacterial co-culture can be cultured without aeration. These results show that O2 produced by strain SA-1 can be used to supply the O2 needs for root respiration of wheat. Respiration reduced net O2 evolution by the mutant SA-1, decreasing the partial pressure of O2 at the sites of cyanobacterial attachment to the roots. This led to an increase in the specific activity of nitrogenase of the co-culture at the high light intensities used to support wheat growth. This activity of about 30 mol ethylene produced·mg Chl–1·h–1 was three-fold higher than the activities obtained with the free-living strain SA-1 assayed at the same light intensity. In the co-culture, ammonia produced by the mutant strain SA-1 was not detectable. The NH
inf4
sup+
produced by strain SA-1 was used by the wheat plants and, under these conditions, the total N content of the plants reached as high as 85% of the total N content of nitrate-grown plants. In the co-culture system the metabolism of wheat and the cyanobacterium complemented each other, leading to higher plant growth in N-free medium.

Direct association between wheat roots and an ammonia-excreting mutant of the cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis, strain SA-1, was required for maximal enhancement of growth of wheat plants in nitrogen (N)-free, hydroponic medium. Over 85% of the cyanobacterial mutant SA-1 inoculated to the roots were adsorbed under non-saturating conditions. The adsorption process of SA-1 to wheat roots was biphasic: an initial rapid adsorption was followed by a slow phase with about 10% of the initial adsorption rate. The maximal adsorption rate of filaments observed was 1.6 mg dry wt. SA-1 adsorbed·plant–1·h–1. Bypassing CO2 fixation and sugar formation, the 14C label from [14C]sucrose was directly applied to leaf blades to study sugar translocation. The 14C label from this treatment appeared in the wheat culture medium within an hour. Nitrate-grown plants excreted about 30% of the 14C label into the medium, compared to only 10% excreted by wheat/Anabaena co-cultures. SA-1 assimilated 27% of all 14C translocated from [U-14C]sucrose applied to wheat leaves, and 14C label from this treatment was recovered from strain SA-1 after 30 min. Roots and cyanobacteria accounted for 51% of all radioactive label recovered in the plants co-cultured with SA-1 vs 20% for nitrate-grown plants. We studied the activity of -fructosidase (invertase) in wheat of variety Yecora rojo. Roots from nitrate-grown wheat plants produced high levels of invertase activity, which converted over 85% of 3 mm sucrose into glucose and fructose in 24 h. The rate of sucrose disappearance in the medium of co-cultures using A. variabilis SA-1, was 70% of that of nitrate-grown plants, but the levels of glucose and fructose in these cultures were always very low during sucrose conversion, suggesting hexose assimilation. To study the role of diffusible metabolites, a dialysis membrane was employed to separate the ammonia-excreting SA-1 from the wheat roots. Containing SA-1 in a dialysis bag away from direct root contact, severely limited leaf growth to less than one-third of the growth rate of nitrate control cultures. Ammonia produced by mutant SA-1 in dialysis bag cultures was excreted into the medium at 0.4 mm vs 1.2 mm in free-living cultures, but ammonia was not detectable in co-cultures with or without the dialysis bag containing the mutant. The nitrogenase activity derepressed in the mutant and responsible for ammonia excretion was always higher in the association co-cultures than in either free cells or in dialysis-bag cultures. The nitrogenase activity of strain SA-1 was highest (200 mol ethylene formed·mg–1 Chl·h–1) when the cyanobacterium was associated with the root tips. Dialysis membrane separation of plant and cyanobacterium severely inhibited growth of wheat during a complete growth cycle of 2 months. Total biomass and grain yield were very similar for control cultures without inorganic N or SA-1, and for diffusion cultures containing SA-1, kept in a dialysis bag around the roots. Total biomass of the association co-culture attained 75% of the biomass of the nitrate-grown control. It is proposed that wheat roots supplied fructose derived from sucrose for growth and nitrogen fixation of SA-1 in the light, and that ammonia excreted by SA-1 was utilized by the wheat plant for its own growth.

Summary Growth of rice plants in a nitrogen-free medium was enhanced by inoculation with a nitrogenase-derepressed mutant (strain SA-1) of a cyanobacterium,Anabaena
variabilis which excretes NH4
+ into the medium. Both total dry weight and nitrogen content of rice plants were substantially increased in the presence of the mutant strain but not with the wild type parent, strain SA-0. 相似文献

In this work, we further analyzed an Azospirillum brasilense Sp7 mutant (Sp7::Tn5-33) showing a pleiotrophic phenotype due to a Tn5 insertion into an open reading frame of 840 bp (orf280). The deduced amino acid sequence of this region has high similarity to a family of universal stress proteins. Because the
most interesting property exhibited by the Sp7::Tn5-33 mutant was an enhanced in vitro nitrogen fixation activity, we addressed the question of whether it could benefit the
host plant. We found that the increased nitrogenase activity at the free-living state of the mutant bacterium was correlated
with an increased production of the nitrogenase reductase protein (NifH), in amounts approximately 1.5 times higher than the
wild type. The mutant strain exhibited the same level of auxin production and the same colonization pattern of wheat roots
as the wild type. We also observed that Sp7::Tn5-33 increased the total plant dry weight, although the N content did not differ significantly between wheat plants inoculated
with mutant or wild-type strains. 相似文献

The present study was undertaken to comparatively investigate the attachment capacities of Azospirillum brasilenseSp245 and its lipopolysaccharide-defective Omegon-Km mutants KM018 and KM252, as well as their activities with respect to the alteration of the morphology of wheat seedling root hairs. The adsorption dynamics of the parent Sp245 and mutant KM252 strains of azospirilla on the seedling roots of the soft spring wheat cv. Saratovskaya 29 were similar; however, the attachment capacity of the mutant KM252 was lower than that of the parent strain throughout the incubation period (15 min to 48 h). The mutation led to a considerable decrease in the hydrophobicity of the Azospirillumcell surface. The lipopolysaccharides extracted from the outer membrane of A. brasilenseSp245 and mutant cells with hot phenol and purified by chromatographic methods were found to induce the deformation of the wheat seedling root hairs, the lipopolysaccharide of the parent strain being the most active in this respect. The role of the carbohydrate moiety of lipopolysaccharides in the interaction of Azospirillumcells with plants is discussed. 相似文献

Biological control of take-all in wheat by endophytic Bacillus subtilis E1R-j and potential mode of action 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Bing Liu Hongping Qiao Lili Huang Heinrich Buchenauer Qingmei Han Zhensheng Kang Yufei Gong 《Biological Control》2009,49(3):277-285
The bacterial strain E1R-j, isolated as an endophyte from wheat roots, exhibited high antifungal activity to Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici (Ggt). Strain E1R-j was identified as Bacillus subtilis based on morphological, physiological and biochemical methods as well as on 16S rDNA analysis. This strain inhibited mycelium growth in vitro of numerous plant pathogenic fungi, especially of Ggt, Coniothyrium diplodiella, Phomopsis sp. and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. In greenhouse experiments, soil drenches with cell densities of 106, 109 and 1012 CFU ml−1 E1R-j reduced significantly take-all disease, caused by Ggt, in wheat seedling by 62.6%, 68.6% and 70.7%, respectively, compared to the inoculated control, 4 weeks after sowing. Growth parameters such as lengths and fresh weights of roots and shoots of Ggt-inoculated control plants were significantly lower compared to Ggt-inoculated and E1R-j treated plants. Field experiments in the season 2006/2007, heights of wheat plants in the Ggt inoculated plots were significantly reduced compared to the non inoculated treatments. Yield parameters such as kernels per head and thousand kernel weight (TKW) in inoculated control plants were lower compared to the other treatments. In the experimental year 2007/2008, independent treatments with the bacterial strain E1R-j and the fungicide Triadimefon reduced take-all disease in wheat roots by 55.3% and 61.9%, compared to the inoculated control plants. In this season plant height in inoculated control was significantly lower and also the yield parameters seeds per head and especially TKW were drastically reduced compared to the other treatments. E1R-j treatment alleviated the detrimental effects of take-all on grain yield parameters to a similar extent as Triadimefon application. SEM studies revealed that in the presence of E1R-j, hyphae of Ggt showed leakage, appeared ruptured, swollen and shriveled. Following root drench, strain E1R-j was able to colonize endophytically roots and leaves of wheat seedlings. While the population of the bacterial strain in wheat roots steadily increased from the second to the fourth leaf stage, in the leaf tissue the population of the strain rapidly declined. TEM studies also showed that cells of E1R-j were present in roots of wheat seedlings and effectively retarded infection and colonization of Ggt in root tissue; suppression of Ggt by E1R-j was accompanied by disintegration of hyphal cytoplasm. In addition, in the presence of E1R-j cells in Ggt-infected root tissue morphological defense reactions were triggered such as formation of wall appositions and papillae. The results presented indicate that the endophytic strain E1R-j of B. subtilis meets demands required for biocontrol of take-all. 相似文献

By employing serial enrichment, a derivative of Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 was obtained which grew at concentrations of butanol that prevented growth of the wild-type strain. The parent strain demonstrated a negative growth rate at 15 g of butanol/liter, whereas the SA-1 mutant was still able to grow at a rate which was 66% of the uninhibited control. SA-1 produced consistently higher concentrations of butanol (from 5 to 14%) and lower concentrations of acetone (12.5 to 40%) than the wild-type strain in 4 to 20% extruded corn broth (ECB). Although the highest concentration of butanol was produced by SA-1 and the wild-type strain in 14% ECB, the best solvent ratio with respect to optimizing butanol and decreasing acetone occurred between 4 and 8% ECB for SA-1. SA-1 demonstrated higher conversion efficiency to butanol than the wild-type strain at every concentration of ECB tested. Characterization of the wild-type and SA-1 strain in 6% ECB demonstrated the superiority of the latter in terms of growth rate, time of onset of butanol production, carbohydrate utilization, pH resistance, and final butanol concentration in the fermentation broth. 相似文献

Summary Factors influencing the Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of both monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plant species have been widely investigated. These factors
include manipulating Agrobacterium strains and plasmids, growth conditions for vir gene induction, plant genotype, inoculation and co-culture conditions, and the selection agents and their application regime.
We report here a novel physical parameter during co-culture, desiccation of plant cells or tissues post-Agrobacterium infection, which greatly enhances transfer DNA (T-DNA) delivery and increases stable transformation efficiency in wheat.
Desiccation during co-culture dramatically suppressed Agrobacterium growth, which is one of the factors known to favor plant cell recovery. Osmotic and abscisic acid treatments and desiccation
prior to inoculation did not have the same enhancement effect as desiccation during co-culture on T-DNA delivery in wheat.
An efficient transformation protocol has been developed based on desiccation and is suitable for both paromomycin and glyphosate
selection. Southern analysis showed approximately 67% of transgenic wheat plants received a single copy of the transgene. 相似文献

Sixteen actinobacterial strains isolated from various ecological niches in the Algerian Sahara were screened for their biocontrol potential in root rot disease caused by Fusarium culmorum and their promotion of durum wheat growth. All actinobacteria were studied for in vitro antagonistic activity and plant-growth-promotion traits, for the production of cyanhydric acid, siderophores, chitinases and indole-3-acetic acid, and for the solubilisation of inorganic phosphate. Strongly antagonistic actinobacteria were selected for the biocontrol of F. culmorum in vivo and for the growth promotion of durum wheat plants in autoclaved and non-autoclaved soils. The Streptosporangium becharense strain SG1 exhibited remarkable positive results in all trials. Compared to untreated wheat seeds, the root rot severity index was decreased significantly (P?0.05) by all seed bacterization treatments. However, the highest protective effect was obtained by the strain SG1, which reduced the disease severity index from 77.8% to 16%, whereas it was only reduced to 24.2% by chemical seed treatment with Dividend®. Moreover, strain SG1 led to significant increases in the shoot length, root length and dry weight of plants, thus opening up interesting perspectives for possible exploration in crop enhancement. 相似文献

A positive selection method for isolation of nitrogenase-derepressed mutant strains of a filamentous cyanobacterium, Anabaena variabilis, is described. Mutant strains that are resistant to a glutamate analog, L-methionine-D,L-sulfoximine, were screened for their ability to produce and excrete NH4+ into medium. Mutant strains capable of producing nitrogenase in the presence of NH4+ were selected from a population of NH4+-excreting mutants. One of the mutant strains (SA-1) studied in detail was found to be a conditional glutamine auxotroph requiring glutamine for growth in media containing N2, NO3-, or low concentrations of NH4+ (less than 0.5 mM). This glutamine requirement is a consequence of a block in the assimilation of NH4+ produced by an enzyme system like nitrogenase. Glutamate and aspartate failed to substitute for glutamine because of a defect in the transport and utilization of these amino acids. Strain SA-1 assimilated NH4+ when the concentration in the medium reached about 0.5 mM, and under these conditions the growth rate was similar to that of the parent. Mutant strain SA-1 produced L-methionine-D,L-sulfoximine-resistant glutamine synthetase activity. Kinetic properties of the enzyme from the parent and mutant were similar. Mutant strain SA-1 can potentially serve as a source of fertilizer nitrogen to support growth of crop plants, since the NH4+ produced by nitrogenase, utilizing sunlight and water as sources of energy and reductant, respectively, is excreted into the environment. 相似文献

The AGAMOUS-LIKE6 (AGL6)-like genes are ancient MADS-box genes and are functionally studied in a few model plants. The knowledge of these genes in wheat remains limited. Here, by studying a ‘double homoeolog mutant’ of the AGL6 gene in tetraploid wheat, we showed that AGL6 was required for the development of all four whorls of floral organs with dosage-dependent effect on floret fertility. Yeast two-hybrid analyses detected interactions of AGL6 with all classes of MADS-box proteins in the ABCDE model for floral organ development. AGL6 was found to interact with several additional proteins, including the G protein β and γ (DEP1) subunits. Analysis of the DEP1-B mutant showed a significant reduction in spikelet number per spike in tetraploid wheat, while overexpression of AGL6 in common wheat increased the spikelet number per spike and hence the grain number per spike. RNA-seq analysis identified the regulation of several meristem activity genes by AGL6, such as FUL2 and TaMADS55. Our work therefore extensively updated the wheat ABCDE model and proposed an alternative approach to improve wheat grain yield by manipulating the AGL6 gene. 相似文献

The hemibiotrophic pathogen Bipolaris sorokiniana causes root rot, leaf blotching, and black embryos in wheat and barley worldwide, resulting in significant yield and quality reductions. However, the mechanism underlying the host–pathogen interactions between B. sorokiniana and wheat or barley remains unknown. The B. sorokiniana genome encodes a large number of uncharacterized putative effector proteins. In this study, we identified a putative secreted protein, CsSp1, with a classic N-terminal signal peptide, that is induced during early infection. A split-marker approach was used to knock out CsSP1 in the Lankao 9-3 strain. Compared with the wild type, the deletion mutant ∆Cssp1 displayed less radial growth on potato dextrose agar plates and produced fewer spores, and complementary transformation completely restored the phenotype of the deletion mutant to that of the wild type. The pathogenicity of the deletion mutant in wheat was attenuated even though appressoria still penetrated the host. Additionally, the infectious hyphae in the deletion mutant became swollen and exhibited reduced growth in plant cells. The signal peptide of CsSp1 was functionally verified through a yeast YTK12 secretion system. Transient expression of CsSp1 in Nicotiana benthamiana inhibited lesion formation caused by Phytophthora capsici. Moreover, CsSp1 localized in the nucleus and cytoplasm of plant cells. In B. sorokiniana-infected wheat leaves, the salicylic acid-regulated genes TaPAL, TaPR1, and TaPR2 were down-regulated in the ∆Cssp1 strain compared with the wild-type strain under the same conditions. Therefore, CsSp1 is a virulence effector and is involved in triggering host immunity. 相似文献

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) incurs significant yield losses from powdery mildew, a major fungal disease caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt). enhanced disease resistance1 (EDR1) plays a negative role in the defense response against powdery mildew in Arabidopsis thaliana; however, the edr1 mutant does not show constitutively activated defense responses. This makes EDR1 an ideal target for approaches using new genome‐editing tools to improve resistance to powdery mildew. We cloned TaEDR1 from hexaploid wheat and found high similarity among the three homoeologs of EDR1. Knock‐down of TaEDR1 by virus‐induced gene silencing or RNA interference enhanced resistance to powdery mildew, indicating that TaEDR1 negatively regulates powdery mildew resistance in wheat. We used CRISPR/Cas9 technology to generate Taedr1 wheat plants by simultaneous modification of the three homoeologs of wheat EDR1. No off‐target mutations were detected in the Taedr1 mutant plants. The Taedr1 plants were resistant to powdery mildew and did not show mildew‐induced cell death. Our study represents the successful generation of a potentially valuable trait using genome‐editing technology in wheat and provides germplasm for disease resistance breeding. 相似文献

Background and aims
Production of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) by Azospirillum brasilense is one of the most important mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects observed in plants after inoculation with this bacterium. This study determined the contribution of the hisC1 gene, which encodes aromatic amino acid aminotransferase-1 (AAT1), to IAA production, and analyzed its expression in the free-living state and in association with the roots of wheat.Methods
We determined production of IAA and AAT activity in the mutant hisC::gusA-sm R . To study the expression of hisC1, a chromosomal gene fusion was analyzed by following β-glucuronidase (GUS) activity in vitro, in the presence of root exudates, and in association with roots.Results
IAA production in the hisC mutant was not reduced significantly compared to the activity of the wild-type strain. AAT1 activity was reduced by 50% when tyrosine was used as the amino acid donor, whereas there was a 30% reduction when tryptophan was used, compared to the activity of the wild-type strain. Expression of the fusion protein was up-regulated in both logarithmic and stationary phases by several compounds, including IAA, tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenyl acetic acid. We observed the expression of hisC1 in bacteria associated with wheat roots. Root exudates of wheat and maize were able to stimulate hisC1 expression.Conclusions
The expression data indicate that hisC1 is under a positive feedback control in the presence of root exudates and on plants, suggesting that AAT1 activity plays a role in Azospirillum–plant interactions. 相似文献17.
A two step selection procedure is described for high frequency transformation and regeneration of transgenic plants by coculture of leaf discs of Datura innoxia with Agrobacterium tumefaciens carrying binary vectors. Leaf discs were cocultured with disarmed A. tumefaciens vectors pGS Glucl, pGSTRN943, pGV2260 and pBI121, and subcultured on regeneration media containing kanamycin. Kanamycinresistant, putatively transformed callus and vegetative buds were isolated, and subcultured on media containing reduced amounts of growth regulators and kanamycin to induce shooting. Rooted shoots produced normal fertile plants. Transformation frequency was related to duration of preculture, co-culture, and the bacterial strain used. With pGS Glue 1, a 3 day co-culture resulted in 70% of leaf discs being transformed. Transformation was confirmed by histochemical test for GUS activity, by the ability of leaf discs to initiate callus and from NPTII test, and Southern blot analysis. Progeny of the transgenic plants showed Mendelian segregation for kanamycin resistance. 相似文献

The present investigation has been performed to evaluate nitrate reductase (NR) and nitrogenase activities as well as growth
and mineral nutrition of wheat plants grown under drought stress and inoculated with different Azospirillum strains (NR− and NR+). Fresh, dry mass and water content decreased with decreasing soil moisture content, which was accompanied with low soluble
sugars and soluble protein content and increase in the total amino acids content. Azospirillum inoculation with either bacterial strain (NR− and NR+) significantly increased the above characteristics even at 40 % moisture content. NR activity decreased in both the shoots
and roots by decreasing soil moisture content. NR+ strain exhibited increased root NR activity compared with uninoculated plants or inoculated with NR− strain. However, plants inoculated with NR−strain increased NR activity in the shoot more than in the root of the same plant and in the shoot of control plants. Inoculation
with either NR− and NR+
Azospirillum strains gave higher nitrogenase activity than uninoculated control plants. The low N supply (0.5 mM) did not affect nitrogenase
activity. NR−strain was less effective than NR+strain in promoting total N-yield, spike numbers and their mass per pot. Azospirillum inoculation exhibited no significant changes in wheat Mg2+ content. However, K+ and Ca2+ have shown significantly increased values. Azospirillum beneficial effect on plant N balance and growth are most probably composed of multiple mechanisms and beneficial NR is one
of them. The importance of Azospirillum NR+strains for increasing wheat resistance to water stress is also supported by the obtained data.

Wheat stripe rust caused by the fungus Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) is one of the most destructive wheat diseases resulting in significant losses to wheat production worldwide. The development of disease-resistant varieties is the most economical and effective measure to control diseases. Altering the susceptibility genes that promote pathogen compatibility via CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing technology has become a new strategy for developing disease-resistant wheat varieties. Calcineurin B-like protein (CBL)-interacting protein kinases (CIPKs) has been demonstrated to be involved in defence responses during plant-pathogen interactions. However, whether wheat CIPK functions as susceptibility factor is still unclear. Here, we isolated a CIPK homoeologue gene TaCIPK14 from wheat. Knockdown of TaCIPK14 significantly increased wheat resistance to Pst, whereas overexpression of TaCIPK14 resulted in enhanced wheat susceptibility to Pst by decreasing different aspects of the defence response, including accumulation of ROS and expression of pathogenesis-relative genes. We generated wheat Tacipk14 mutant plants by simultaneous modification of the three homoeologues of wheat TaCIPK14 via CRISPR/Cas9 technology. The Tacipk14 mutant lines expressed race-nonspecific (RNS) broad-spectrum resistance (BSR) to Pst. Moreover, no significant difference was found in agronomic yield traits between Tacipk14 mutant plants and Fielder control plants under greenhouse and field conditions. These results demonstrate that TaCIPK14 acts as an important susceptibility factor in wheat response to Pst, and knockout of TaCIPK14 represents a powerful strategy for generating new disease-resistant wheat varieties with BSR to Pst. 相似文献

Impact of PGPR inoculation on growth and antioxidant status of wheat under saline conditions 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Two plant growth‐promoting rhizobacterial (PGPR) strains, Bacillus subtilis SU47 and Arthrobacter sp. SU18, were found to tolerate 8% NaCl. Wheat co‐inoculated with these two PGPR strains, and grown under different salinity regimes (2–6 dS m?1), showed an increase in dry biomass, total soluble sugars and proline content. Wheat sodium content was reduced under co‐inoculated conditions but not after single inoculation with either strain or in the control. The activity of antioxidant enzymes in wheat leaves decreased under salinity stress after PGPR co‐inoculation, suggesting these PGPR species could be used for amelioration of stress in wheat plants. Activity of three antioxidant enzymes in wheat grown with both PGPR strains was reduced, most notably that of catalase activity at a salinity of 6 dS m?1, when compared with the control. The results indicate that co‐inoculation with B. subtilis and Arthrobacter sp. could alleviate the adverse effects of soil salinity on wheat growth. 相似文献
