Response of Soybean Root to Phosphorus Deficiency under Sucrose Feeding: Insight from Morphological and Metabolome Characterizations.

ABSTRACT: Phosphorus (P) is one the least available essential plant macronutrients in soils that is a major constraint on plant growth. Soybean (Glycine max L.) production is often limited due to low P availability. The better management of P deficiency requires improvement of soybean's P use efficiency. Sugars are implicated in P starvation responses, and a complete understanding of the role of sucrose together with P in coordinating P starvation responses is missing in soybean. This study explored global metabolomic changes in previously screened low-P-tolerant (Liaodou, L13) and low-P-sensitive (Tiefeng 3, T3) soybean genotypes by liquid chromatography coupled mass spectrometry. We also studied the root morphological response to sucrose application (1%) in P-starved soybean genotypes against normal P supply. Root morphology in L13 genotype has significantly improved P starvation responses as compared to the T3 genotype. Exogenous sucrose application greatly affected root length, root volume, and root surface area in L13 genotype while low-P-sensitive genotype, i.e., T3, only responded by increasing number of lateral roots. Root?:?shoot ratio increased after sucrose treatment regardless of P conditions, in both genotypes. T3 showed a relatively higher number of differentially accumulated metabolites between P-starved and normal P conditions as compared to L13 genotype. Common metabolites accumulated under the influence of sucrose were 5-O-methylembelin, D-glucuronic acid, and N-acetyl-L-phenylalanine. We have discussed the possible roles of the pathways associated with these metabolites. The differentially accumulated metabolites between both genotypes under the influence of sucrose are also discussed. These results are important to further explore the role of sucrose in the observed pathways. Especially, our results are relevant to formulate strategies for improving P efficiency of soybean genotypes with different P efficiencies.

Project description:BackgroundPhosphorus (P) deficiency in desert ecosystems is widespread. Generally, desert species may allocate an enormous proportion of photosynthetic carbon to their root systems to adjust their P-acquisition strategies. However, root P-acquisition strategies of deep-rooted desert species and the coordination response of root traits at different growth stages to differing soil P availability remains unclear. In this study, a two-year pot experiment was performed with four soil P-supply treatments (0, 0.9, 2.8, and 4.7 mg P kg-1 y-1 for the control, low-, intermediate-, and high-P supply, respectively). Root morphological and physiological traits of one- and two-year-old Alhagi sparsifolia seedlings were measured.ResultsFor two-year-old seedlings, control or low-P supply significantly increased their leaf Mn concentration, coarse and fine roots' specific root length (SRL), specific root surface area (SRSA), and acid phosphatase activity (APase), but SRL and SRSA of one-year-old seedlings were higher under intermediate-P supply treatment. Root morphological traits were closely correlated with root APase activity and leaf Mn concentration. One-year-old seedlings had higher root APase activity, leaf Mn concentration, and root tissue density (RTD), but lower SRL and SRSA. Two-year-old seedlings had higher root APase activity, leaf Mn concentration, SRL and SRSA, but a lower RTD. Root APase activity was significantly positively correlated with the leaf Mn concentration, regardless of coarse or fine roots. Furthermore, root P concentrations of coarse and fine roots were driven by different root traits, with root biomass and carboxylates secretion particularly crucial root traits for the root P-acquisition of one- and two-year-old seedlings.ConclusionsVariation of root traits at different growth stages are coordinated with root P concentrations, indicating a trade-off between root traits and P-acquisition strategies. Alhagi sparsifolia developed two P-activation strategies, increasing P-mobilizing phosphatase activity and carboxylates secretion, to acclimate P-impoverished in soil. The adaptive variation of root traits at different growth stages and diversified P-activation strategies are conducive to maintaining the desert ecosystem productivity.

Project description:BackgroundPhosphorus (P) is one of the most essential macronutrients for crops. The growth and yield of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) are always limited by P deficiency. However, the transcriptional and metabolic regulatory mechanisms were less studied. In this study, valuable phenotype, transcriptome and metabolome data were analyzed to illustrate the regulatory mechanisms of peanut under P deficiency stress.ResultIn present study, two treatments of P level in deficiency with no P application (-P) and in sufficiency with 0.6 mM P application (+ P) were used to investigate the response of peanut on morphology, physiology, transcriptome, microRNAs (miRNAs), and metabolome characterizations. The growth and development of plants were significantly inhibited under -P treatment. A total of 6088 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified including several transcription factor family genes, phosphate transporter genes, hormone metabolism related genes and antioxidant enzyme related genes that highly related to P deficiency stress. The Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses indicated that 117 genes were annotated in the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway under P deficiency stress. A total of 6 miRNAs have been identified significantly differential expression between + P and -P group by high-throughput sequencing of miRNAs, including two up-regulated miRNAs (ahy-miR160-5p and ahy-miR3518) and four down-regulated miRNAs (ahy-miR408-5p, ahy-miR408-3p, ahy-miR398, and ahy-miR3515). Further, the predicted 22 target genes for 6 miRNAs and cis-elements in 2000 bp promoter region of miRNA genes were analyzed. A total of 439 differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs) showed obviously differences in two experimental conditions.ConclusionsAccording to the result of transcripome and metabolome analyses, we can draw a conclusion that by increasing the content of lignin, amino acids, and levan combining with decreasing the content of LPC, cell reduced permeability, maintained stability, raised the antioxidant capacity, and increased the P uptake in struggling for survival under P deficiency stress.
