The Effect of Detopping the Field Bean Plants (Vicia faba L. minor) and Lack of the Pod Setting on the Symbiosis with Root Nodule Bacteria

The plants of field bean var. Nadwiślaνski were detopped after about 1 month since the beginning of flowering and after that all flower buds were removed from some plants. The effect of a change in the trophic balance on the setting and subsequent growth of root nodules was studied.
The removal of pods had the greater effect on the increase in the weight of the remaining organs than the detopping of plants. Detopping retarded the ageing of the plants and delayed the phase of the greatest reduction of the number of pods. The detopping of plants revealed their considerable compensative possibilities in terms of production of the pod weight and the potential of leaves for biomass production. The data obtained indicate that plant detopping may disturb the root–bacteria exchange of signals, necessary to initiate the nodule development, while the further growth of nodules depends, above all, on the amount of available photosynthates.
A very high correlation between the dry weight of the whole plant to the dry weight of leaves ratio and the weight of nodules was observed. It proves the importance of the trophic balance of the plant for the root nodule weight production.     

小叶锦鸡儿根瘤固氮活性的动态变化

对多年生小叶锦鸡儿不同生育期根瘤固氮能力、不同树龄小叶锦鸡儿根瘤固氮能力进行调查,结果表明:开花期固氮酶活性最高,此时土壤含氮量和植株含氮量最高;新瘤多发生于果后营养期,植株生物量的峰值出现在结实期;二年生和五年生植株的根瘤固氮能力强于三年、四年生植株,随生长年限的延长,植株生物量逐渐增大,含氮量呈小幅度下降趋势。     

大豆GmNRT1.2a和GmNRT1.2b基因的克隆及功能探究

拟南芥中硝酸盐的吸收、转运和分配是通过硝酸盐转运蛋白(nitrate transporter, NRT)实现的。尽管之前的生物信息学分析推测大豆GmNRT1.2s可能参与共生固氮过程,但尚未开展相应的功能研究。本研究通过对其表达模式分析収现,GmNRT1.2a和GmNRT1.2b分别在根和叶中高表达,且受硝酸盐诱导,在接种根瘤菌与结瘤因子(nodfactors,NFs)后表达量明显升高。功能研究结果显示,过表达GmNRT1.2a或GmNRT1.2b后大豆根瘤数目显著增加。本研究为深入探究GmNRT1.2a和GmNRT1.2b调控大豆共生固氮过程的分子机制提供了一定的数据支持。     

花生根瘤愈伤组织的诱导和分化

生长健壮的花生根瘤在CLS培养基上诱导出愈伤组织，形成愈伤组织的频率达到26．5－46．6％。瘤愈伤组织能多次继代，生长良好，在分化培养基D－57和D－59上已分化形成了根，其生根频率分别为56％和78％。显微观察表明，愈伤组织分化的具有正常根的解剖结构。     

接种根瘤菌对西南地区大豆光合性能和固氮能力的影响

为探讨接种根瘤菌对西南地区大豆固氮能力的有效性,在大田试验条件下,以根瘤菌株 Bradyrhizobium japonicum5038和B. japonicum 5136侵染南黑豆20和南夏豆25,比较两个大豆品种接种后植株的光合特性和叶绿素 含量,考察根瘤数量并测定分析其蔗糖含量、豆血红蛋白含量和固氮酶活性。结果表明：接种后两大豆品种叶片 chla/b值显著下降,叶绿素含量、净光合速率和气孔导度显著增加;根瘤数、单株瘤重、植株地上部和地下部生物量 均显著增加,单个瘤重和根冠比则无显著变化;根瘤内蔗糖含量和豆血红蛋白含量均显著增加,固氮酶活性提高。 不同大豆品种对不同菌株的响应不同,南夏豆25与根瘤菌B.japonicum5136的适配性最好,接种后大豆光合性能和 固氮能力的改善效果明显优于南黑豆20。

GmFW1 expression decreased in GmSymRK knockdown transgenic soybean roots

SymRK and GmFWL1 both play important roles in nodulation. However, during symbiotic development, the details of Nod factor signaling association with the regulation of cell division in nodules are unknown. SymRK, the immediately downstream component of these Nod factor receptors, is central to the Nod factor signaling cascade. In this study, specified RNAi plasmid of GmSymRK was constructed and transformed into soybean roots by agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated hairy root transformation. We found that the nodule number decreased substantially in GmSymRK knockdown soybean transgenic roots. Further to study the relationship between GmFWL1 and Nod factor signaling, we analyzed the GmFWL1 expression levels in the GmSymRK RNAi soybean transgenic roots and found that rhizobia inoculation led to substantially reduced GmFWL1 expression in GmSymRK RNAi soybean transgenic roots. Our studies showed that the regulation of cell division was affected by Nod factor signaling during nodule development in soybean, which provides important information toward understanding the functions of GmSymRK and GmFWL1 in symbiotic signaling and nodule development.
