丛枝菌根真菌对NaCl胁迫下番茄内源激素的影响

采用盆栽试验研究了不同浓度NaCl（03%、06%和10%）胁迫下,接种丛枝菌根真菌Glomus mosseae-2 对番茄内源激素的影响。结果表明：（1）盐胁迫下,植株生长受抑,生长促进物质IAA、GA3和Zeatin含量下降,生长抑制物质ABA含量增加,接种Glomus mosseae-2增加了植株干物质量和这些激素的含量;（2）菌根形成过程中,Glomus mosseae-2参与调节内源激素平衡, 降低了叶片ABA/IAA、ABA/GA3、ABA/Zeatin及ABA/ (IAA+GA3+Zeatin)的比值; （3）气孔导度（gs））和ABA/Zeatin值呈极显著负相关,同一盐浓度胁迫下,接菌株有较高gs和较低的ABA/Zeatin值。 ABA和Zeatin共同调节气孔对盐胁迫的响应,维持接菌株较高的气孔导度,增强了番茄的耐盐性。     

多环芳烃污染土壤的植物-微生物联合修复初探

在温室盆栽条件下,通过种植紫花苜蓿单独或联合接种菌根真菌(Glomus caledonium L.)(AM)和多环芳烃专性降解菌(DB),研究了利用植物-微生物强化修复多环芳烃(PAHs)长期污染土壤的效果。试验结果表明,接种菌根真菌和PAHs专性降解菌能促进紫花苜蓿的生长和土壤中PAHs的降解。经过90天修复试验,种植紫花苜蓿接种AM、DB和DB+AM处理的PAHs的降解率分别为47.9%、49.6%、60.1%,均高于只种植紫花苜蓿的对照处理(CK)(21.7%)。另外,随着PAHs苯环数的增加,其平均降解率逐渐降低,但是接种PAHs专性降解菌能够提高4环和5环PAHs的降解率。同时也发现土壤中脱氢酶活性和PAHs降解菌数量越高的处理,土壤PAHs的降解率也越高,这也是种植紫花苜蓿接种微生物能够有效促进土壤PAHs降解的原因。

Isotopic fractionation by saprotrophic microfungi: Effects of species, temperature and the age of colonies

Saprotrophic fungi represent an important resource for a number of fungivorous and omnivorous soil animals, but little is known about the patterns of isotopic fractionation by soil fungi. We grew five common species of saprotrophic microfungi in laboratory cultures on simple artificial substrate based on carbohydrates derived either from C3 or C4 plants. Fungal cultures were kept at 15, 20 or 25 °C. Isotopic composition of carbon (¹³C/¹²C) and nitrogen (¹⁵N/¹⁴N) in bulk fungal tissue was determined after 11, 21 and 32 days. The fractionation of carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes was species-specific, but generally did not differ in C3- and C4-based growth media. The Zygomycete Mucor plumbeus did not differ in δ¹³C from the carbon source used, though Ascomycetes (Alternaria alternata, Cladosporium cladosporioides, Trichoderma harzianum and Ulocladium botrytis) were depleted in heavy carbon relative to the carbon source by 0.5-0.9‰. Three species were significantly depleted in ¹⁵N relative to the sodium nitrate that was used as a single source of nitrogen. In all species, δ¹⁵N but not δ¹³C tended to increase with the age of fungal colonies. The effect of temperature on δ¹⁵N was weak and inconsistent in different species. In contrast, all fungi except T. harzianum accumulated more ¹³С at 25 °C than at 15 °C. The overall variation in the isotopic signatures of saprotrophic fungi growing in identical conditions reached 8‰ for δ¹⁵N and 2.5‰ for δ¹³C due to species-specific differences in the isotopic fractionation and the age of individual fungal colonies. This variation should be incorporated into the interpretation of the isotopic composition of fungivorous soil animals.     

Improved zinc tolerance in Eucalyptus globulus inoculated with Glomus deserticola and Trametes versicolor or Coriolopsis rigida

The potential of interactions between saprophytic and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi to improve Eucalyptus globulus grown in soil contaminated with Zn were investigated. The presence of 100 mg kg ⁻¹ Zn decreased the shoot and root dry weight of E. globulus colonized with Glomus deserticola less than in plants not colonized with AM. Zn also decreased the extent of root length colonization by AM and the AM fungus metabolic activity, measured as succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity of the fungal mycelium inside the E. globulus root. The saprophytic fungi Trametes versicolor and Coriolopsis rigida increased the shoot dry weight and the tolerance of E. globulus to Zn when these plants were AM-colonized. Both saprophytic fungi increased the percentage of AM root length colonization and elevated G. deserticola SDH activity in the presence of all Zn concentrations applied to the soil. In the presence of 500 and 1000 mg kg⁻¹ Zn, there were higher metal concentrations in roots and shoots of AM than in non-AM plants; furthermore, both saprophytic fungi increased Zn uptake by E. globulus colonized by G. deserticola. The higher root to shoot metal ratio observed in mycorrhizal E. globulus plants indicates that G. deserticola enhanced Zn uptake and accumulation in the root system, playing a filtering/sequestering role in the presence of Zn. However, saprophytic fungi did not increase the root to shoot Zn ratio in mycorrhizal E. globulus plants. The effect of the saprophytic fungi on the tolerance and the accumulation of Zn in E. globulus was mediated by its effect on the colonization and metabolic activity of the AM fungi.     

An AM fungus and a PGPR intensify the adverse effects of salinity on the stability of rhizosphere soil aggregates of Lactuca sativa

A mesocosm experiment was conducted to examine the effect of an arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus (Glomus mosseae (Nicol & Gerd.) Gerd. & Trappe) and a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR) (Pseudomonas mendocina Palleroni), alone or in combination, on the structural stability of the rhizosphere soil of Lactuca sativa L. grown under two levels of salinity. The plants inoculated with P. mendocina had significantly greater shoot biomass than the control plants at both salinity levels, whereas the mycorrhizal inoculation was only effective in increasing shoot biomass at the moderate salinity level. The aggregate stability of soils inoculated with the PGPR and/or G. mosseae significantly decreased with increasing saline stress (about 29% lower than those of soils under non-saline conditions). Only the inoculated soils showed higher concentrations of sodium (Na) under severe saline stress. The severe salinity stress decreased the glomalin-related soil protein (GRSP) concentration, but the highest values of GRSP were recorded in the inoculated soils. Our findings suggest that the use of AM fungi and/or a PGPR for alleviating salinity stress in lettuce plants could be limited by their detrimental effect on soil structural stability.     

Mycelium of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi increases soil water repellency and is sufficient to maintain water-stable soil aggregates

Using an in vitro bioreactor system in which the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus Glomus intraradices was grown in a soil devoid of detectable living microbes, we could show that the mycelium of this fungus contributed to the maintenance of water-stable soil aggregates and increased soil water repellency, as measured by water drop penetration time. This is to our knowledge the first demonstration of a causal link between AM fungal growth and water repellency of soil aggregates. Our results also place AM fungal contributions to soil aggregation on a firm mechanistic footing by showing that hyphae are sufficient to produce effects, in the absence of other soil biota, which have always been included in previous studies.     

食用菌抗重金属机制研究综述

综述了汞、铅、砷、镉、铜等重金属在食用菌栽培中的富集情况,以及对食用菌生长、抗氧化系统影响的研究现状。食用菌对汞、铅、硒等重金属都表现出了不同程度的富集现象,但是随着重金属浓度增大,对食用菌生长抑制作用增大,从而降低了食用菌对重金属的富集能力。食用菌的抗氧化系统是抵抗重金属胁迫的重要机制,但目前关于这方面的研究较少。
