General and specialized metabolites in peanut roots regulate arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis

Arbuscular mycorrhizae(AM)fungi form symbiotic associations with plant roots,providing nutritional benefits and promoting plant growth and defenses against various stresses.Metabolic changes in the roots during AM fungal colonization are key to understanding the development and maintenance of these symbioses.Here,we investigated metabolic changes in the roots of peanut(Arachis hypogaea L.)plants during the colonization and development of AM symbiosis,and compared them to uncolonized roots.The primary changes during the initial stage of AM colonization were in the contents and compositions of phenylpropanoid and flavonoid compounds.These compounds function in signaling pathways that regulate recognition,interactions,and pre-colonization between roots and AM fungi.Flavonoid compounds decreased by 25%when the symbiosis was fully established compared to the initial colonization stage.After AM symbiosis was established,general metabolism strongly shifted toward the formation of lipids,amino acids,carboxylic acids,and carbohydrates.Lipid compounds increased by 8.5%from the pre-symbiotic stage to well-established symbiosis.Lyso-phosphatidylcholines,which are signaling compounds,were only present in AM roots,and decreased in content after the symbiosis was established.In the initial stage of AM establishment,the content of salicylic acid increased two-fold,whereas jasmonic acid and abscisic acid decreased compared to uncolonized roots.The jasmonic acid content decreased in roots after the symbiosis was well established.AM symbiosis was associated with high levels of calcium,magnesium,and D-(+)-mannose,which stimulated seedling growth.Overall,specific metabolites that favor the establishment of AM symbiosis were common in the roots,primarily during early colonization,whereas general metabolism was strongly altered when AM symbiosis was well-established.In conclusion,specialized metabolites function as signaling compounds to establish AM symbiosis.These compounds are no longer produced after the symbiosis between the roots and AM becomes fully established.

Testing the Effect of Soil Heterogeneity on Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Fungi (AMF) Contribution to Plant Productivity

Most natural soils are heterogeneous and nutrient availability and soil structure change greatly over small distances. It is still unclear whether AMF are advantageous for plants under such heterogeneous soil conditions. The objective of this study was to determine whether diverse AMF community support host plant community productivity in heterogeneous soil. It was also tested whether soil heterogeneity affects plant productivity. This was carried out in a greenhouse experiment made up of two factors: soil heterogeneity and AMF richness. Soil heterogeneity was simulated by mixing three soil types (sand, field soil and organic soil) together (homogenous soil (HM)), mixing them partly (semi homogenous (SH)) or keeping the three soil types separate in three compartments within one pot (heterogeneous (HT)). AMF richness was simulated by adding no AMF, one of four different AMF species separately, or all four different AMF together. The pots were planted with a mixture of Trifolium pratense and Lolium multiflorum. There was no effect of soil heterogeneity on total plant biomass. However, the biomass of the individual plant species was greatly affected by soil heterogeneity with Lolium being the most abundant in the heterogeneous soil and Trifolium being the most abundant in the homogenous soil. Total plant biomass did not increase with AMF richness. Moreover, opposite to the hypothesis, AMF richness was not beneficial for plant productivity in a heterogenous soil environment. However, there were significant differences in plant biomass with different AMF treatments in the SH and HT treatment indicating that effects of AMF on plant productivity are influenced by soil type. These effects on yield and AMF reflect a combination of local responses to growing conditions. The results show that AMF influence on plant yield may not always be positive but is strongly dependent on ecological elasticity and environmental condition.

Effects of Two Kinds of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) Inoculums on Cucumber Seedlings Growth

To study the effects of AMF （ arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi） ineeulums on seedling growth of cucumber, vegetable seeds were inoculated with two kinds of AMF ineculums BF （ mycorrhiza for plants） and VT （ mycorrhiza for vegetables） from Czech Republic during sowing in trays in greenhouse. The root AMF infection rates in seedlings were 49.30% and 37.65% respectively after 35 d growth. The plant height, stem diameter, fresh and dry weight of those seedlings inoculated with BF and VT were higher than that in CK. Compared with the CK, VT inoculation significantly improved the root activity, chlorophyll content and photosynthetic rate of cucumber seedlings. Comprehensive analysis showed that VT could promote seedling growth of protected cucumber.

弱光及干旱条件下AMF对切花月季光合和AsA-GSH循环的影响

旨在探究弱光及干旱条件下丛枝菌根真菌(AMF)对切花月季光合、AsA-GSH循环以及渗透调节物质的影响。盆栽条件下设置100%全光照(L1)、50%全光照(L2)2个光照处理组,80%土壤持水量(W1)和40%土壤持水量(W2)2个水分处理组,接种AMF[变形球囊霉(Glomus versiforme)+异形根孢囊霉(Rhizophagus irregularis)]及不接种对照(CK)共8个处理。结果表明,AMF能够侵染切花月季根系,显著提高切花月季生长品质。弱光和/或干旱胁迫下,与不接种对照相比,接种AMF能有效地促进切花月季叶片的净光合速率(P_(n))、蒸腾速率(T_(r))、气孔导度(G_(s))和水分利用效率(WUE)增加,降低细胞间隙CO_(2)浓度(C_(i));在L2W2处理条件下,与不接种对照相比,接种AMF使切花月季叶片中的抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)、谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)、单脱氢抗坏血酸还原酶(MDAR)和脱氢抗坏血酸还原酶(DHAR)活性分别提高5.2%、15.4%、21.7%和35.9%;接种AMF的抗坏血酸(AsA)含量与对照处理无显著差异,还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH)含量提高8.1%,GSH/GSSG比值增加7.9%;接种AMF后切花月季丙二醛(MDA)含量显著降低,可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白和脯氨酸(Pro)含量明显增加。结论认为AMF通过维持AsA/DHA和GSH/GSSG的稳定,提高AsA-GSH循环中相关酶活性,增加切花月季叶片可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白和脯氨酸含量而降低MDA含量来适应水分和光照的变化,形成适应光照和水分条件变化的生理生态对策来改善切花月季生长品质。

The Effects of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi on Reactive Oxyradical Scavenging System of Tomato Under Salt Tolerance

The effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi （AMF）, Glomus mosseae, on oxygen radical scavenging system of tomato under salt stress were studied in potted culture experiments. The response of tomato （Lycopersieon eseulentum L.） cultivar Zhongza 9 seedlings with AMF inoculation and control to salt stress （0, 0.5 and 1.0% NaCl solution, respectively） was investigated. The results showed that the salt stress significantly reduced the dry matter content of roots, stems and leaves, and also the leaf area as compared with the control treatment. However, arbuscular mycorrhizal-inoculated （AM） significantly improved the dry matter and the leaf area in the salt-stressed plants. The effect of AMF on dry matter was more pronounced in aerial bromass than in root biomass which might be due to AM colonization. The activities of SOD, POD, ASA-POD, and CAT in leaves and roots of mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal treatment of tomato plants were increased and had different rules under different NaCl concentrations （solution of 0, 0.5 and 1% NaCl）, but all enzymes had a rise in the beginning of treatment under salt stress conditions. The AMF did not change the rule of tomato itself under salt stress, but AMF increased these enzyme activities in different levels. The AMF treatment significantly increased SOD, POD and ASA-POD activities in leaves and roots, whereas it had little effects on CAT in root. O2- production rate and MDA content in leaves increased continuously, which showed a positive line correlation with salt stress concentration. O2- production rate and MDA content in tomato plants significantly decreased by AM treatment compared with nonmycorrhizal treatment. In conclusion, AM could alleviate the growth limitations imposed by saline conditions, and thereby play a very important role in promoting plant growth under salt stress in tomato.

神东矿区接种AMF对植物−土壤生态化学计量及养分回收的影响

矿区采煤沉陷地植被恢复和微生物复垦是打造绿色矿山的关键点。丛枝菌根真菌(Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi,AMF)和恢复植被类型对植物−枯落叶−土壤连续体的生态化学计量学特征及养分回收的影响尚不明朗,但对阐明西北干旱采煤沉陷区生态修复后养分循环和可持续发展具有重要意义。选择复垦10 a后接种AMF与对照的紫穗槐、沙棘、文冠果、欧李、野樱桃5种恢复植被及对应植被的0~10 cm土壤进行研究,旨在探明接菌和恢复植被类型对植物−枯落叶−土壤连续体碳(C)、氮(N)、磷(P)含量和生态化学计量比,养分回收率、养分限制的影响。结果表明:5种恢复植被各器官平均养分含量与全国水平相比呈现出高C、P低N的特点,土壤N的缺乏限制了枯落物分解和植物生长。冗余分析表明影响植物生态化学计量的主要土壤因子是土壤有机碳、P、土壤易提取球囊霉素并且土壤养分与叶养分回收在菌根介导下呈正相关。AMF接种提高了植物、土壤养分含量、N、P回收率和土壤碳氮比,降低了植被的氮磷比,进而缓解植物N限制,增加植物生长速率支持恢复植被重建,促进连续体养分循环。在不同人工重建植被中接菌的固氮植被紫穗槐和沙棘养分含量、稳定性及生长速率高。植物−枯落叶−土壤连续体生态化学计量及养分回收特征预测土壤氮限制沉陷区可持续生态恢复,接种AMF则促进沉陷区持续生态恢复的潜力。

Effectivity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi collected from reclaimed mine soil and tallgrass prairie

We examined suitability of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) associated with cool-season nonnative forages on reclaimed surface-mined land in southeast Ohio for establishment of native warm-season grasses. The goal of establishing these grasses is to diversify a post-reclamation landscape that is incapable of supporting native forest species. A 16-week glasshouse study compared AMF from a 30-year reclaimed mine soil (WL) with AMF from native Ohio tallgrass prairie soil (CL). Four native grasses were examined from seedling through 16 weeks of growth. Comparisons were made between CL and WL AMF on colonized (+AMF) and non-colonized plants (–AMF) at three levels of soil phosphorus (P). Leaves were counted at 4 week intervals. Shoot and root biomass and percent AMF root colonization were measured at termination. We found no difference between WL and CL AMF. Added soil P did not reduce AMF colonization, but did reduce AMF efficacy. Big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii Vitman), Indiangrass (Sorghastrum nutans (L.) Nash), and tall dropseed (Sporobolus asper (Michx.) Kunth) benefited from AMF only at low soil P while slender wheatgrass (Elymus trachycaulus (Link) Gould ex Shinners) exhibited no benefit. Establishment of tallgrass prairie dominants big blue-stem and Indiangrass would be supported by the mine soil AMF. It appears that the non-native forage species have supported AMF equally functional as AMF from a regionally native tallgrass prairie. Tall dropseed and slender wheatgrass were found to be less dependent on AMF than big bluestem or Indiangrass and thus would be useful in areas with little or no AMF inoculum.

Genome-wide analyses of mi RNAs in mycorrhizal plants in response to late blight and elucidation of the role of miR319c in tomato resistance

Tomato(Solanum lycopersicum), an economically important vegetable crop cultivated worldwide, often suffers massive financial losses due to Phytophthora infestans(P. infestans) spread and breakouts. Arbuscular mycorrhiza(AM) fungi mediated biocontrol has demonstrated great potential in plant resistance. However, little information is available on the regulation of mycorrhizal tomato resistance against P. infestans.Therefore, microRNAs(miRNAs) sequencing technology was used to analyse miRNA and their targets in the mycorrhizal tomato after P.infestans infection. Our study showed a lower severity of necrotic lesions in mycorrhizal tomato than in nonmycorrhizal controls. We investigated 35 miRNAs that showed the opposite expression tendency in mycorrhizal and nonmycorrhizal tomato after P. infestans infection when compared with uninfected P. infestans. Among them, miR319c was upregulated in mycorrhizal tomato leaves after pathogen infection. Overexpression of miR319c or silencing of its target gene(TCP1) increased tomato resistance to P. infestans, implying that miR319c acts as a positive regulator in tomato after pathogen infection. Additionally, we examined the induced expression patterns of miR319c and TCP1 in tomato plants exposed to salicylic acid(SA) treatment, and SA content and the expression levels of SA-related genes were also measured in overexpressing transgenic plants. The result revealed that miR319c can not only participates in tomato resistance to P. infestans by regulating SA content, but also indirectly regulates the expression levels of key genes in the SA pathway by regulating TCP1. In this study, we propose a novel mechanism in which the miR319c in mycorrhizal tomato increases resistance to P. infestans.

Diversity of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Species Associated with Soybean (Glycine max L. Merill) in Benin

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMFs) could be used to sustainably improve crop yields. The present study evaluated the diversity of AMF species associated with soybean (Glycine max L. Merill) in main soybean-producing areas in Benin. Composite soil samples from 13 production areas at a rate of 04 villages per production areas were collected. A spore trapping device was set up to reveal the diversity of spores. The physical and chemical properties of the soils, the frequency and intensity of mycorrhization of roots, and the diversity of AMF spores were determined in the soil samples following trapping. As result, eight morphotypes belonging to four genera: Glomus, Acaulospora Gigaspora and Disversispora and three families: Diversisporales, Glomérales and Paraglomérales were observed. An important variability of spore densities was observed from one production areas to another with a higher abundance in the production areas of Copargo estimated at 3584 spores/100g soil. The biological diversity indexes as Shannon (0.0311), Simpson (0.0204) and Hill (0.0235), varied significantly (p < 0.05) from one production areas to another. There was significant correlation between the parameters studied, particularly between the physico-chemical parameters of the soils and between the physico-chemical parameters and the biological diversity indexes. For the mycorrhization parameters, the mycorhization frequencies did not vary from one production areas to another, unlike the intensities, which significantly varied from one production areas to another (2.31% to 24.62%). Finally, this study revealed that the physico-chemical parameters of the soils had an influence on the other parameters studied. Moreover, there were an abundance and a significant diversification of AMFs associated with soybean in the different production areas, which are influenced by certain physico-chemical soil parameters.

Effect of Inoculation with Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungus on Nitrogen and Phosphorus Utilization in Upland Rice-Mungbean Intercropping System

The effect of arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi （AMF） on plant growth and nutrition utilization in upland rice and mungbean intercropping system was studied. A pot experiment was conducted in the greenhouse and AMF colonization rates of rice and mungbean roots, plant nutrient contents, the ability of nitrogen fixation, and nutrient contents changed in the soil were analyzed. The results were obtained as follows： the rates of AMF colonization of rice and mungbean roots were reached to 14.47 and 92.2% in intercopping system, and increased by 4.11 and 11.95% compared with that of in monocropping; the nirtrogen contents of mungbean and rice were increased by 83.72 and 64.83% in shoots, and 53.76 and 41.29% in roots, respectively, while the contents of iron in shoot and root of mungbean were increased by 223.08 and 60.19%, respectively. In the intercropping system with inoculation of AMF, the biomass of mungbean increased by 288.8%. However, the biomass of rice was not significantly changed among all treatments with or without inoculation of AMF recorded. The number and dry weight of nodules were significantly increased either when mungbean was intercropped with rice or inoculated with AMF. When compared with that of monocropping without AMF inoculation, the contents of nitrogen, phosphorus and iron in nodules of intercropping mungbean with inoculation increased by 80.14, 69.54 and 39.62%, respectively. Additionally, intercropping with AMF inoculation significantly increased soil nitrogen content, but reduced soil phosphorus content. We concluded that upland rice-mungbean intercropping system and inoculation with AMF improved the nutrient uptake, the ability of nitrogen fixation and the growth of mungbean.

丛枝菌根真菌(AMF)对蒙古沙冬青幼苗的促生特性及作用机制

为解决蒙古沙冬青(Ammopiptanthus mongolicus)幼苗根系不发达、再生性差、移栽造林成活率低的技术难题及其资源的有效扩繁和保存,试验采用丛枝菌根真菌(AMF)不同接菌方式处理蒙古沙冬青实生幼苗根系,分析AMF对其侵染状况及植株生长和生物量的变化,根系及叶片生理特性、根际土壤酶活性变化及其与幼苗生长和生物量变化的关联性。研究旨在探讨根系菌根化作用对蒙古沙冬青幼苗的促生长及作用机制。结果表明:丛枝菌根真菌(根内根孢囊霉Rhiaophagus intraradice,摩西斗管囊霉Funneliformis mosseae)可有效侵染蒙古沙冬青幼苗根系并与其根系构建互惠共生体,不同菌种与宿主植物的亲和程度存在差异。(1)单接菌和混合接菌与未接菌(CK)相比生长量均有所提高,主要表现在植物株高(34.7%~47.3%)和根长(32.7%~72.9%)相对较大。其中混合接菌较单接菌处理显著增加了总根投影面积、总根体积、根冠比、根干重及根表面积、植株总生物量和苗木质量指数。(2)接种AMF,特别是接种R.i+F.m幼苗根系活力、根系阳离子交换量及根系可溶性蛋白含量较对照显著提升338.7%、177.2%和240.4%,根系硝酸还原酶及碱性磷酸酶活性也显著高于单一接菌(R.i、F.m)及未接菌处理。同时该处理下幼苗叶净光合速率和可溶性蛋白含量较对照显著提高237.5%和54.3%。(3)3种接菌方式均可显著提升蒙古沙冬青幼苗根际土壤脲酶、碱性磷酸酶和蔗糖酶活性,且3种土壤酶均在混合接菌时活性提升速率最为显著,分别较对照激增564.7%、145.8%和154.3%。综合以上指标分析,AMF通过侵染蒙古沙冬青根系刺激幼苗根际土壤酶的产生和分泌并促进其根系阳离子交换及活力提升,有助于增强根系代谢过程中酶促作用及蛋白等营养物质的积累,同时影响和改善了幼苗光合代谢和营养储存,从而促进沙冬青根系及幼苗生长和生物量累积。

Comparison of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal Community in Roots and Rhizosphere of Invasive Cenchrus incertus and Native Plant in Inner Mongolia,China

Plant invasions could significantly alter arbuscular mycorrhizal(AM) fungal communities, but the effect may vary with plant species and local environments. Identifying changes in the AM fungal community due to plant invasion could improve our understanding of the invasion processes. Here, we examined the AM fungal community composition both in roots and rhizosphere soils of the invasive plant Cenchrus incertus and the dominant native plant Setaria viridis in a typical steppe in Inner Mongolia by using terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism analyses(T-RFLP). The results showed that AM fungal abundance in the rhizosphere soils of C. incertus was significantly lower than that of S. viridis. The AM fungal community composition in the rhizosphere soils of the two plant species also largely differed. In general, AM fungal community structures in roots corresponded very well to that in rhizosphere soils for both plant species. The dominant AM fungal type both in invasive and native plants was T-RFLP 524 bp, which represents Glomus sp.(Virtual taxa 109 and 287). Three specific T-RF types(280,190 and 141bp) were significantly more abundant in C. incertus, representing three clusters in Glomus which also named as VT(virtual taxa) 287, 64 and 214, Rhizophagus intraradices(VT 113) and Diversispora sp.(VT 60). While the specific T-RF types,189 and 279 bp, for S. viridis, only existed in Glomus cluster 1(VT 156), were significantly less abundant in C. incertus. These results indicated that AM fungi might play an important role in the invasion process of C. incertus, which still remains to be further investigated.

横断山脉亚高山带几种高山栎林下丛枝菌根菌(AMF)调查

[目的]明确横断山脉亚高山带高山栎林下AMF孢子分类地位。[方法]自横断山脉亚高山带不同地段选择6个高山栎根围土壤和根系样本,对其土壤中AMF孢子利用湿筛沉淀法进行选取。利用AMF特异引物对其ITS区段18S rRNA基因进行扩增,结合形态学与分子生物学手段对其进行鉴定,构建系统发育演化树并推测其亲缘关系。[结果]四川、西藏高山栎林下土壤AMF孢子与根系克隆为类球囊霉属(Paraglomus),云南香格里拉高山栎林下土壤AMF孢子与根系克隆为球囊霉属(Glomus)。克隆结果表明:AMF能够广泛存在于高山栎组植物根系。根系苯胺蓝染色结果可见明显类似丛枝和泡囊的结构。综合高山栎土壤AMF孢子与根际AMF鉴定结果认为,高山栎林下存在大量AMF,且目前不同采样地高山栎林下根围土和根系分别仅发现一种AMF存在,提示各高山栎同时仅能与一种AMF发生共生关系。此外,高山栎林下AMF孢子在演化过程中发生分化并介于Paraglomus与Glomus的分类地位之间,且西藏、四川地区AMF与云南香格里拉地区AMF存在差异。[结论]本研究发现,自然条件下横断山脉亚高山地区高山栎林下菌塘普遍存在AMF,且云南香格里拉地区高山栎根系AM与Glomus属更接近,说明AM在长期演化过程中随地域迁移出现分化。为了解横断山脉亚高山带高山栎林下AMF的形成与演化提供理论参考。

以月见草为试验材料,进行盆栽试验。采取双因素试验设计,设置无NaCl对照和150 mmol/L NaCl胁迫处理以及分别接种幼套近明球囊霉(Claroideoglomus etunicatum)、摩西斗管囊霉(Funnelifor mismosseae)、根内根孢囊霉(Rhizophagus intraradices)和不接种丛枝菌根真菌(AMF)处理,研究接种不同的AMF对盐胁迫下月见草的生长、生理以及次生代谢产物的影响,以期为增强月见草的耐盐性提供新方法。结果表明:盐胁迫下,与未接种AMF的月见草相比,接种AMF的月见草的株高、根长、基径、地上干质量和地下干质量均显著提高,同时,月见草叶片的叶绿素、可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白、脯氨酸、总黄酮和总酚的质量分数均显著提高,此外,净光合速率和抗氧化酶活性也显著增强,然而,丙二醛质量摩尔浓度显著降低。说明接种AMF可以提高盐胁迫下月见草的光合能力和渗透调节能力,增加抗氧化酶活性,促进次生代谢产物的积累,从而促进其生长发育。综合月见草的各个指标发现,接种AMF能够提高月见草的抗盐能力,不同AMF对月见草耐盐性的提升效果不同。其中以接种根内根孢囊霉对提高月见草耐盐性的效果最为显著,摩西斗管囊霉次之,幼套近明球囊霉的效果较差。
