谷子MDH基因非生物逆境响应特性研究

为揭示谷子MDH基因对逆境胁迫的响应,本研究通过序列比对得到2个谷子苹果酸脱氢酶(malate dehydrogenase, MDH)基因SiMDH1、SiMDH2,并对SiMDH1和SiMDH2的编码蛋白特征、基因结构、功能、进化等性状进行了系统的分析和预测,用荧光实时定量PCR(qPCR)检测了SiMDH1和SiMDH2在苗期不同逆境及关键生育期干旱胁迫和不同光照强度下的表达。蛋白特征参数和序列分析表明,SiMDH1和SiMDH2蛋白特征参数相似度很高,序列非常保守,都含有MDH基因的特征功能域苹果酸酶NAD结合域和苹果酸酶C端功能域。亚细胞定位预测显示,SiMDH1和SiMDH2主要定位于叶绿体、细胞质和线粒体。启动子区域顺式元件分析发现,在SiMDH1和SiMDH2启动子区域含有大量光应答、激素类和其他类应答元件。苗期逆境qPCR表达谱分析发现,SiMDH1和SiMDH2受脱落酸(ABA)、聚乙二醇(PEG)、高盐和低温不同程度诱导,揭示SiMDH1和SiMDH2参与了谷子苗期非生物逆境胁迫应答。进一步分析发现,SiMDH1和SiMDH2参与了谷子在拔节、抽穗、灌浆期的干旱应答,而光照强度会显著影响SiMDH1和SiMDH2基因在不同生育期的表达。本研究为进一步分析MDH逆境应答机制以及利用基因工程方法改善作物抗逆性提供了试验和理论支持。

接种根瘤菌后3个紫花苜蓿品种耐盐性综合评价

研究苜蓿中华根瘤菌共生3个耐盐性高的紫花苜蓿品种,以选育适宜在内蒙古盐渍土地区大量种植的紫花苜蓿品种。以内蒙古地区常见的3个紫花苜蓿品种(中苜1号、金皇后、阿尔冈金)为试验材料,利用不同浓度NaCl溶液(0、50、150 mmol/L)模拟盐害环境,对3个紫花苜蓿品种接种苜蓿中华根瘤菌,测定紫花苜蓿品种的地上部分鲜质量、根鲜质量、根瘤数、有效根瘤数、丙二醛(MDA)质量摩尔浓度、可溶性糖质量分数6项指标,依据隶属函数法进行耐盐性综合评价。当盐浓度达到50 mmol/L时,3个紫花苜蓿品种中金皇后与苜蓿中华根瘤菌共生耐盐效果最好,相比于不接种地上部分鲜质量增加6.14 g,MDA质量摩尔浓度低至0.91mmol/g,可溶性糖质量分数高达21.65 mg/g,在3个紫花苜蓿品种中膜脂过氧化程度最低,渗透调节能力最强。当盐浓度达到150 mmol/L时,接种苜蓿中华根瘤菌对3个紫花苜蓿品种影响微弱。耐盐性强弱依次为金皇后(接种RM)、中苜1号(接种RM)、阿尔冈金(接种RM)、中苜1号(未接种RM)、金皇后(未接种RM)、阿尔冈金(未接种RM)。不同盐浓度(0、50、150 mmol/L)对3个紫花苜蓿品种生长均有抑制作用,且抑制效果随盐浓度升高而增强。在轻度盐害(50 mmol/L)环境下,接种苜蓿中华根瘤菌有效缓解盐对紫花苜蓿的伤害,其中金皇后耐盐性最强。当重度盐害(150 mmol/L)发生时,接种苜蓿中华根瘤菌对紫花苜蓿作用效果不明显甚至不起作用。

A systematic approach to determine the impact of elevated CO2 levels on the chemical composition of wheat (Triticum aestivum)

Two wheat genetic lines (responsive and non-responsive to elevated CO₂) grown under ambient and free-air CO₂ enrichment (FACE) conditions were compared using fuzzy chromatography mass spectrometry (FCMS) metabolite fingerprinting. A more comprehensive survey of the changes in their chemical composition was made on selected samples using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) metabolomic profiling with high resolution accurate mass/tandem mass spectrometry (HRAM/MSⁿ). Principal component analysis (PCA) of the metabolite fingerprints showed four clusters for the two genetic lines (responsive and non-responsive) and the two CO₂ levels (ambient and elevated) in score plots. Metabolite profiling of representative samples for each of the four clusters identified 25 and 16 compounds from negative and positive data, respectively, including amino acids, saccharides, phenolic acids, flavonoids, and lipids. Loading plots demonstrated that some saccharides and lipids were responsible for discriminating between not only two genetic lines but also two CO₂ levels. Analysis of free amino acids (not bound) showed a clear pattern of reduced concentration for both lines with elevated CO₂. After acid hydrolysis, the responsive line 6 (41% increase in yield) showed the same pattern observed for free amino acids, but the non-responsive line 5 (6% increase in yield) showed different trends in concentrations of amino acids with elevated CO₂.     

Identification of CIMMYT spring bread wheat germplasm maintaining superior grain yield and quality under heat-stress

Unpredictable temperatures and rainfall associated with climate change are expected to affect wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in various countries. The development of climate-resilient spring wheat cultivars able to maintain grain yield and quality is essential to food security and economic returns. We tested 54 CIMMYT spring bread wheat genotypes, developed and/or released over a span of 50 years, in the field for two years under optimum sowing dates, as well as using two delayed sowing dates to expose crops to medium and severe heat-stress conditions. The grain yield and yield components were severely affected as the heat-stress increased. Two contrasting groups of 10 lines each were identified to determine the effect of heat-stress on bread-making quality. The first set included entries that produced high yields in optimal conditions and maintained higher yields under heat-stress (superior-yielding lines), while the second set included genotypes that did not perform well in the environment with high temperature (inferior-yielding lines). We identified genotypes exhibiting bread-making quality stability, as well as the quality traits that had higher correlation with the loaf volume in the environment without stress and under heat-stress. Of all the quality traits tested, dough extensibility (AlvL) and grain protein content had a significant influence in heat-stress adaptation. Most of the lines from the superior-yielding group were also able to maintain and even improve quality characteristics under heat-stress and therefore, could be used as parents in breeding to develop high-yielding and stable quality wheat varieties.
