Project description:To investigate the effects of organic fertilizer replacing chemical fertilizer on the growth and development of barley (Kunlun-14), a pot experiment was conducted. The study examined the impacts of different ratios of organic fertilizer replacing chemical fertilizer nitrogen (0%, 40%, 100%, denoted as OFR0, OFR40, OFR100, respectively) on the growth characteristics, leaf carbon-nitrogen balance, and nitrogen metabolism enzyme activities of barley.

Project description:Comparative analysis of tobacco leaves transcriptomes unveils carotenoid pathway potentially determined the characteristics of aroma compounds in different environmental regions. Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) is a sensitive crop to environmental changes, and a tobacco with unique volatile aroma fractions always formed in specific ecological conditions. In order to investigate the differential expressed genes caused by environmental changes and reveal the formation mechanism of characteristics of tobacco in three different aroma tobacco regions of Guizhou Province, Agilent tobacco microarray was adapted for transcriptome comparison of tobacco leaves in medium aroma tobacco region Kaiyang and light aroma tobacco regions Weining and Tianzhu. Results showed that there was big difference among the gene expression profiles of tobacco leaves in different environmental conditions. A total of 517 differential expressed genes (DEGs) between Weining and Tianzhu were identified, while 733 and 1,005 genes differentially expressed between Longgang and another two tobacco regions Weining and Tianzhu, respectively. Compared with Longgang, up-regulated genes in Weining and Tianzhu were likely involved in secondary metabolism pathways, especially carotenoid pathway, including PHYTOENE SYNTHASE, PHYTOENE DEHYDROGENASE, LYCOPENE ε-CYCLASE, CAROTENOID β-HYDROXYLASE and CAROTENOID CLEAVAGE DIOXYGENASE 1 genes, while most down-regulated genes played important roles in response to temperature and light radiation, such as heat shock proteins. Gene Ontology and MapMan analyses demonstrated that the DEGs among different environmental regions were significantly enriched in light reaction of photosystem II, response of stimulus and secondary metabolism, suggesting they played crucial roles in environmental adaptation and accumulation of aroma compounds in tobacco plants. Through comprehensive transcriptome comparison, we not only identified several stress response genes in tobacco leaves from different environmental regions but also highlighted the importance of carotenoid pathway genes for characteristics of aroma compounds in specific growing regions. Our study primarily laid the foundation for further understanding the molecular mechanism of environmental adaptation of tobacco plants and molecular regulation of aroma substances in tobacco leaves.
Project description:<p>While irrigation and fertilization are basic cultivation practices in poplar plantations on a global scale, the impact of these practices on the environment is not well understood. Here, we demonstrate that water-urea coupling and water-compound fertilizer coupling differentially impact soil ecosystems. We report that water-fertilizer coupling did not significantly alter taxonomic diversity indices (richness, evenness), but it did drive significant shifts in microbial community composition, reflected by changes in the relative abundance of specific taxa (e.g., core phyla) and their functional profiles. Water-urea coupling reduced Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria in non-rhizosphere soils while increasing Acidobacteria and Chloroflexi. In contrast, water-compound fertilizer coupling amplified Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria dominance in rhizosphere soils. Water-fertilizer coupling reshaped microbial composition and functional gene abundance linked to nitrogen and sulfur cycling, indicating a potential shift in microbial-mediated N and S transformation processes. Water-urea treatment enriched denitrification genes and dissimilatory nitrate reduction genes (napABC) in rhizosphere soil, while water-compound fertilizer treatment enhanced nitrification (amoABC, HAO) and denitrification gene abundance in both soils. For sulfur (S) cycling, water-urea treatment favored thiosulfate oxidation genes (SOX complex), whereas water-compound fertilizer treatment increased assimilatory sulfate reduction genes. Multi-omics integration linked these microbial dynamics to metabolic reprogramming—water-urea increased lipid and secondary metabolites in rhizosphere soils, while water-compound fertilizers elevated amino acid-associated metabolites in non-rhizosphere soils.</p>
