Metabolite profiling of rhizosphere soil of different allelopathic potential rice accessions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Identification of the allelopathy-interrelated metabolites from the allelopathic rice rhizosphere is crucial to understand the allelopathic mechanism of rice, which in turn can promote its applications to farming. In this study, the metabolites from the rhizosphere soil of five different rice lines, including allelopathic rice accession PI312777 (PI) and non-allelopathic rice accession Lemont (Le) as well as their genetic derivatives (e.g., phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) gene overexpression transgenic lines of PI and Le, namely, PO and LO respectively, and PAL RNA interference line of PI, namely, PR) were identified and comparatively analyzed to explore the positive compounds that are involved in the process of rice allelopathy.

Results

The results showed that 21 non-polar compounds and 21 polar compounds differed in content in the rhizosphere soil of PI and Le, which include several volatile fatty acids and long-chain fatty acids. The relative contents of fatty acids also differed between PAL overexpressing or RNA interference (RNAi)-silenced line and their wild-type respectively. Acetic acid content also differed among groups, i.e., it is higher in the high allelopathic potential rice. Further analysis showed that different metabolites from the ADS8 resin-extracted phase were more abundant than that those from the ADS21 resin-extracted phase, suggesting that the allelochemicals in root exudates of allelopathic rice are mainly non-polar substances. KEGG annotation of these differential metabolites revealed that these compounds were related to nutrient metabolism, secondary metabolite synthesis, signaling substance synthesis, and toxin degradation.

Conclusions

Rice allelochemicals deposited in the ADS8 resin-extracted phase were more abundant than those in the ADS21 resin-extracted phase. Allelochemicals in root exudates of allelopathic rice are mainly non-polar substances, and long-chain fatty acids are considered as allelopathy interrelated metabolites.

Project description:BackgroundAllelopathy in rice (Oryza sativa) is a chemically induced response that is elevated by the exogenous application of chemical compounds and barnyard grass root exudates. An in-depth understanding of the response mechanisms of rice to chemical induction is necessary for the identification of target genes for increasing the allelopathic potential of rice. However, no previous studies have evaluated the transcriptomic changes associated with allelopathy in rice in response to barnyard grass exudates treatment. Thus, the aim of the present study was to reveal differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in allelopathic and non-allelopathic rice seedlings treated with barnyard grass exudates to identify target allelopathy genes.ResultsThe inhibitory effect of the culture solutions on the allelopathic rice accession PI312777 (PI) and the non-allelopathic rice accession Lemont (LE) significantly increased (P < 0.05) after treatment with barnyard grass root exudates. The RNA sequencing results revealed that 14,891 genes in PI(+B) vs. LE(+B), 12,505 genes in PI(+B) vs. PI(-B), and 5857 genes in LE(+B) vs. LE(-B) were differentially expressed following root exudates treatment. These DEGs were classified into three categories and 32 functional groups, i.e., 12 groups in the biological process category, 12 groups in the cellular component category, and eight groups in the molecular function category. There were 5857 and 2846 upregulated genes and 135 and 50 upregulated Gene Ontology terms (P < 0.05) in the biological process category in PI(+B) vs. PI(-B) and LE(+B) vs. LE(-B), respectively. These results indicated that the allelopathic accession PI is more sensitive than the non-allelopathic accession LE to exogenous root exudates treatment. Genes related to rice allelochemical-related biosynthesis pathways, particularly the shikimic acid and acetic acid pathways, were significantly differentially expressed in both rice accessions. These findings suggested that phenolic acids, fatty acids, and flavonoids, which constitute the downstream metabolites of the shikimic acid and acetic acid pathways, are significantly expressed in response to root exudates of barnyard grass.ConclusionsThe allelopathic potential of both rice accessions could be significantly enhanced by barnyard grass root exudates application. Furthermore, genes related to the biosynthesis pathways of reported rice allelochemicals were significantly differentially expressed in both accessions. Phenylalanine ammonia lyase was determined to be a potential target for the regulation of chemical induction.

Project description:BackgroundAllelopathic rice releases allelochemicals through its root systems, thereby exerting a negative effect on paddy weeds. This research aimed to evaluate the relationship between fine-root traits and the rice allelopathic potential at the seedling stage.MethodsTwo allelopathic rice cultivars, 'PI312777' and 'Taichung Native1,' and one non-allelopathic rice cultivar, 'Lemont,' were grown to the 3-6 leaf stage in a hydroponic system. Their fine roots were collected for morphological trait (root length, root surface area, root volume, and root tips number) in smaller diameter cutoffs and proliferative trait (root biomass) analysis. Their root-exudates were used for quantitative analysis of phenolic acids contents and an evaluation of allelopathic potential. Correlation analysis was also used to assess whether any linear relationships existed.ResultsOur results showed that allelopathic rice cultivars had significantly higher fine-root length having diameters <0.2 mm, more root tips number, and greater root biomass, coupled with higher allelopathic potential and phenolic acid contents of their root exudates, comparing with non-allelopathic rice cultivar. These fine-root traits were significantly-positively correlated to allelopathic inhibition and total phenolic contents in rice root-exudates. However, there were not significant correlations among the rice allelopathic potential and total phenolic acid contents of rice root-exudates with the root length, root surface area, and root volume of fine root in diameter >0.2 mm.DiscussionOur results implied that fine-root traits appears to be important in understanding rice allelopathy at the seedling stage. The high allelopathic potential of rice cultivars might be attributed to their higher length of fine roots <0.2 mm in diameter and more number of root tips of fine root, which could accumulate and release more allelochemicals to solutions, thereby resulting in high inhibition on target plants. The mechanisms regulating this process need to be further studied.
