Advances in the study on the mechanism of efficient phosphorus absorption and utilization in cereals and legumes intercropping systems
ZHANG Yinjie;GENG Sainan;YU Xiaona;LI Lantao;ZHANG Qian;WANG Yilun;Based on a theoretical analysis of the biological differences in phosphorus uptake between cereal and legume crops and the principles of intercropping, this paper focuses on how cereal and legume intercropping systems achieve complementary niche advantages and promote efficient phosphorus uptake and utilization through the crop-microorganism-soil interaction network involving mechanisms such as light regulation, spatial niche differentiation mediated by root architecture, soil phosphorus mobilization mediated by root exudates, root-microorganism symbiosis, rhizosphere microbial regulation, and soil structure optimization.Meanwhile, future research directions to enhance the potential of cereal/legume intercropping systems for reducing phosphorus input and increasing use efficiency are prospected from the perspectives of mining key genes and signaling pathways for efficient phosphorus regulation through multi-omics technologies, constructing synthetic functional microbial communities and optimizing their colonization techniques.
Research on pathogenicity of different fungal isolates of wheat Fusarium head blight
LIU Shengli;DONG Chunhao;SHEN Qinghua;LIU Zhen;TIAN Zhicheng;LI Na;XU Hao;ZHENG Jizhou;TANG Jianwei;LI Qiaoyun;HUANG Zhenpu;GAO Yan;YIN Guihong;【Objective】It is imperative to investigate the pathogenicity of principal Fusarium isolates employed for both inoculation procedures and resistance evaluation against Fusarium head blight(FHB) in national and Henan Province regional trials of new wheat cultivars.The selection of dominant isolates demonstrating robust pathogenicity aims to establish a reference system for future FHB resistance identification and genetic improvement in wheat breeding programs.【Method】Nine Fusarium isolates(F0301, F0609, F0980, F1312, 14 AY1-2, 14 KF3-8, 14 LY9-2-4, 14 YY1-3, 14 ZK1-4) from national and Henan provincial wheat variety regional trials were evaluated for their pathogenic potential against Fusarium head blight.Pathogenicity assessment incorporated quantitative analysis of mycelial expansion dynamics, mycotoxin chemotypes, deoxynivalenol production capacity, and post-inoculation disease incidence quantification.【Result】Pathogenicity hierarchy analysis revealed a virulence gradient among the nine Fusarium isolates: F1312,14 AY1-2,14 YY1-3 > F0301 > 14 KF3-8 > 14 ZK1-4,14 LY9-2-4 > F0980 > F0609.Statistical analysis demonstrated no significant divergence within the F1312,14 AY1-2,14 YY1-3 cluster, nor among the composite national isolates, Henan provincial isolates, 14 KF3-8, 14 LY9-2-4, and 14 ZK1-4.【Conclusion】The pathogenicity of the F0609 isolate was weak, and the identification results of FHB on wheat materials were milder than those of previous studies.Therefore, more attention should be paid to the infection of this isolate in future FHB-resistant regional test inoculation identification.The pathogenicity of 14 AY1-2, 14 YY1-3, and F1312 isolates was strong.Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to changes in the 14 AY1-2, 14 YY1-3, and F1312 isolates in future genetic breeding for resistance to FHB.This work may aid in monitoring FHB incidence, help promote timely control measures to reduce the damage caused by FHB and ensure wheat yield and food safety.
The mining and analysis of key genes in fatty acid metabolism of Carthamus tinctorius L. seeds
LIU Yang;CHANG Jianfeng;ZHANG Bo;HU Peng;WANG Rongrong;WEI Junjie;HONG Liya;LI Juan;LI Lianzhen;【Objective】To identify the key genes affecting fatty acid development in safflower seeds, so as to provide a theoretical basis and technical support for a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms of safflower fatty acid synthesis.【Method】Safflower seeds collected at 4, 10, 16, and 22 days after flowering(referred to as D4, D10, D16, and D22, respectively) were used as materials.The contents of 37 fatty acids in seeds at different developmental stages were measured.Transcriptome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis methods were employed to identify differentially expressed genes.Gene ontology(GO) and kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG) enrichment analyses were conducted to explore the biological processes and biochemical metabolic pathways in which the differentially expressed genes in safflower seeds at different growth stages were involved.【Result】n the early stage of safflower seed development, saturated fatty acids accounted for 56.52% of the total fatty acids.After the 10 th day after flowering, the content of linoleic acid increased from 5.03% to 75.41%.KEGG analysis indicated that the period from D4 to D10 was the critical stage for safflower fatty acid synthesis, with 37 differentially expressed genes enriched in the biosynthetic pathway of unsaturated fatty acids.The encoded products included stearoyl-CoA desaturase, omega-6 fatty acid desaturase, very-long-chain enoyl-CoA reductase, and acetyl-CoA acyltransferase.【Conclusion】A total of 29 genes involved in the fatty acid metabolic process of safflower seeds were identified.It was found that the expression of ACC, FATA, DGAT1 and FAD2 enzyme genes promoted the accumulation of fatty acids in safflower seeds.
