Description

Method for researching functions of acid phosphatase in symbiosis of alfalfa rhizobium and mycorrhiza
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of leguminous plant research, in particular to a method for researching functions of acid phosphatase in alfalfa root nodule and mycorrhiza symbiosis.
Background
The symbiotic system formed by the leguminous plants and rhizobia or AM fungi has important significance for agricultural sustainable development. The biological nitrogen fixation process of rhizobia and leguminous plants mainly provides a nitrogen source required for the growth of the plants, and AM fungus can improve the phosphorus homeostasis in the plants; meanwhile, nitrogen and phosphorus are two major elements necessary for the growth and development of plants, and the deficient phosphorus content in the soil not only influences the growth of leguminous crops, but also has adverse effect on symbiotic nitrogen fixation of leguminous plants.
At present, researches on PAP family genes of leguminous plants mostly focus on assisting plants to cope with phosphorus stress and improving phosphorus nutrition of plants, but few reports exist about the functions of proteins of the family in the symbiotic process of plants and microorganisms. Purple Acid Phosphatase (PAP) is the most important type of acid phosphatase, and plays an important role in activating organic phosphorus around plant rhizosphere and promoting decomposition and recycling of organic phosphorus in plant tissues. The research selects MtPA 2 with high expression in rhizobium and mycorrhiza and MtPA 3 with low phosphorus and rhizobium induced expression as research objects, researches the function and action mechanism of the PAP protein in the symbiosis of leguminous plants and microorganisms, and expects to provide basis for clarifying the regulation mechanism of the PAP protein in the growth and development of plants; meanwhile, the difference of the expression modes of MtPA 2 not induced by phosphorus and MtPA 3 induced by low-phosphorus stress indicates that the MtPA 2 and the MtPA 3 have different functions in the plant phosphorus metabolism process, the research on the expression and the function of MtPA 2 and MtPA 3 in the alfalfa nodulation process can be more helpful to understand the interaction between PAP family members in plants, and a new opinion and a new insight are provided for the plant to respond to the low-phosphorus stress and coordinate the molecular mechanism of the body for self-phosphorus homeostasis.
MtPA 2 transcription levels in roots or nodules were significantly increased after inoculation with Rhizobium or AM fungi (Rhizophagusgurrriregularis); in addition, the transcription level of MtPA 2 in the nitrogen fixation region of the nodule is obviously higher than that of other parts of the nodule by combining the transcription group data applied to the symbiosis of plants, rhizobia and AM fungi by a laser microdissection technology; meanwhile, the transcription level of the gene is highest in cortex cells containing the branches; these transcriptome data suggest that MtPA 2 plays an important role in the symbiosis of Medicago truncatula with Rhizobium and AM fungi, i.e., MtPA 2 gene was the final subject.
Based on this, the present invention has devised a functional study method of acid phosphatase in alfalfa rhizobium and mycorrhiza symbiosis to solve the above-mentioned problems.

Comparing the expression of MtPA 2 in roots and mycorrhiza, the expression level of MtPA 2 in mycorrhiza was significantly higher than that in roots, which is consistent with the previous test results in mycorrhiza, as shown in FIG. 9,
in the embodiment, the spatiotemporal expression comprises the spatiotemporal expression of MtPAP2 in alfalfa rhizobia and the spatiotemporal expression of MtPAP2 in alfalfa mycorrhiza,
the specific implementation steps of the spatio-temporal expression of MtPA 2 in alfalfa root nodules are as follows: collecting plant materials of 9 days, 15 days, 21 days and 28 days after the inoculation of the sinorhizobium meliloti s.meliloti1021, extracting RNA, carrying out reverse transcription to cDNA for RT-qPCR analysis, and taking a nodulin gene MtN5 stably expressed in the rhizobium as a positive control; as shown in FIG. 1(A), the results show that the relative expression level of MtPA 2 in the root nodules in each period of symbiotic nitrogen fixation is higher than that in the roots, and the relative expression level in the root nodules at 15 days and 28 days after inoculation is highest and is 29.37 times of that in the roots of the inoculation experimental group; in addition, the relative expression level of MtPA 2 in roots at each period under symbiotic conditions is not significantly different from that under non-symbiotic conditions as shown in FIG. 1(B), which indicates that MtPA 2 is expressed in roots and stems in a small amount under non-symbiotic conditions, but after inoculation of rhizobia, the expression level of the gene in nodules at the symbiotic metaphase (15dpi) and symbiotic anaphase (28dpi) of nodule nitrogen fixation is obviously increased and is significantly higher than that in other tissues. Its abundant expression in nodules at various stages of symbiosis indicates that the protein may be involved in phosphorus metabolism during the symbiosis of nodules.
The specific implementation steps of the spatiotemporal expression of MtPA 2 in alfalfa mycorrhiza are as follows: collecting plant materials of 9 days, 15 days, 21 days and 28 days after the inoculation of the AM fungus R.irregularis, dividing the collected root sample into two parts, using one part for TB staining, statistically analyzing the symbiotic level data of the AM fungus, another part of the RNA was extracted, and transcript level analysis was performed, and the phosphorus transporter MtPT4 involved in the formation of the clump was used as a control, as shown in FIG. 4(A), the symbiotic level data show that as the mycorrhizal symbiosis relationship is established, the infection rate (F), the infection intensity (M) and the arbuscular abundance (A) are sequentially increased, the infection rate (F) of the middle and later symbiosis period (21-28dpi) is up to 80.4 percent, the infection intensity (M) is up to 61.3 percent, the arbuscular abundance (A) is up to 40.6 percent, as shown in FIG. 3, it was shown that the AM fungus had invaded most of the root segments of the host plant at this time, as shown in FIG. 2, and formed a number of arbuscular structures. At this time, the mycorrhizal fungi can transport phosphorus absorbed by the hyphae outside the root to the host plant through the arbuscular branches, so that phosphorus is accumulated in cells containing the arbuscular branches and cells of adjacent cortex in a large amount.
The RT-qPCR results show that the expression level of MtPA 2 in roots at each period has no significant difference in the control group which is not inoculated with AM fungus. At 9d after inoculation of AM fungus, the expression level in roots was not significantly different from that in uninoculated roots, while in the 15-28d root segment, the gene expression was significantly increased, reaching the highest at 28d, 28 times that in uninoculated AM fungus roots, as shown in FIG. 4 (B).
In combination with the mycorrhizal symbiosis level results, no arbuscular formation occurred in the 9d roots after inoculation, at which time no phosphorus transport occurred between the mycorrhizal fungi and the plant. Formation of the arbuscular branches and increase in arbuscular abundance at 15d-21d after inoculation indicate that the transport efficiency of phosphorus between the mycorrhizal fungi and the plant cell is enhanced and phosphorus begins to accumulate gradually in the cells containing the arbuscular branches and adjacent cells. Therefore, after inoculation of 28d, the arbuscular abundance (A) in the whole root segment reaches 28.7%, and although the arbuscular abundance in the root is slightly reduced, the expression level is still about 5.4 times higher than that of 15-21d, which indicates that the protein is related to the balance and distribution of phosphorus in root tissues during the mycorrhizal fungi colonization symbiosis process.
The specific implementation steps of the spatio-temporal expression of MtPA 2 in mycorrhizal symbiosis are as follows: transferring the obtained positive plants into sterile sandy soil, inoculating AM fungi after 3-5 days of phosphorus starvation treatment, and collecting root samples after 14 days and 28 days of inoculation respectively. The results show that under non-symbiotic conditions, mtpp 2 is predominantly expressed in the vascular bundles in the columella in roots (see fig. 12A, D, M, P); after inoculation with AM fungus, mtpp 2 was expressed not only in the pericycle tissue in roots at pre-symbiotic (14dpi) and post-symbiotic (28dpi) stages, but also strongly in cortical cells adjacent to the pericycle in roots (fig. 12G, J, S, V), and these cortical cells contained or were adjacent to the pericycle-containing cortical cells (fig. 12I, L, U, X); the results of the space-time expression positioning further verify that the MtPA 2 is subjected to AM fungus induced expression, and meanwhile, the expression part of the gene also shows that the gene is highly expressed mainly in cells containing arbuscular branches and adjacent cortex, which are accumulated by phosphorus, suggesting that the protein can be transported to other tissues through the action of phosphorus transport protein by releasing a large amount of phosphorus accumulated in the cells containing arbuscular branches and adjacent cortex, and further, the balance of phosphorus in root tissues in the mycorrhizal symbiosis process is regulated.
In FIG. 12, A-L are observed for 14dpi positive transformed plants; M-X is the observation of positive transformation plants of 28 dpi; A-F, M-R is observation of a missed plant; G-L and S-X are observed for inoculated plants; the diagrams D, E, J, K, P, Q, V and W are respectively partial enlargements of the diagrams A, B, G, H, M, N, S and T; panels A, D, G, J, M, P, S and V are brightfield shots, and panels B, E, H, K, N, Q, T and W are WGA 488-stained GFP fluorescence field shots; a, B, C, G, H, I, M, N, O, S, T, and U, wherein bar is 100 μ M, D, E, F, J, K, L, P, Q, R, V, W, and X, wherein bar is 50 μ M.

Overexpression of mtpp 2 was detected at the transcript level in alfalfa root tumors:
in order to determine whether the constructed overexpression vector obtains overexpression in alfalfa hair roots and root nodules, a transgenic plant is obtained through alfalfa hair root transformation, after the plant hair roots grow for 10 days, root samples are harvested, RNA is extracted, reverse transcription is carried out to obtain cDNA, and overexpression efficiency detection is carried out; the result shows that the relative expression amount of MtPA 2 in the hairy roots of the over-expressed plants is 8.6 times (n is 9, p is less than 0.001) of that of an empty vector control group (control) (as shown in FIG. 14, A), which indicates that the MtPA 2 gene obtains gene over-expression; inoculating sinorhizobium meliloti S.meliloti1021 to the obtained positive plants, harvesting a rhizobium sample after 28 days, extracting RNA, performing reverse transcription to obtain cDNA, and performing transcription level detection. The results showed that the relative expression of mtpp 2 in the root nodules of the over-expressed plants was 17.5 times (n 9, p <0.001) that of the empty vector control plants (control) (as shown in fig. 14, B), indicating that this batch of plants can be used for subsequent symbiotic phenotype identification.
Overexpression of the MtPA 2 gene affects nodule symbiosis:
the symbiotic phenotype identification is carried out on the obtained over-expression plants, and the result shows that compared with the empty vector control (control) plants, the MtPA 2 over-expression plants have better overground growth vigor, longer and dense underground roots and large and more nodules, and as shown in figure 16, in order to quantify the influence degree of MtPA 2 over-expression on symbiotic nitrogen fixation, the statistical analysis is respectively carried out on symbiotic indexes such as overground fresh weight, nitrogen-fixing enzyme activity, nodule number, fresh weight of nodules and the like of the two groups of plants; the results show that the overground part fresh weight of the control group plant (control) is 0.09 g/piece on average, and the overground part fresh weight of the over-expression plant is 0.12 g/piece on average (as shown in figure 17, A), compared with the control group, the overground part fresh weight of the over-expression plant is obviously increased (p is less than 0.01, and n is 18); compared with the control group, the nitrogen-fixing enzyme activity of the over-expression plant is remarkably increased (p is less than 0.01, and n is 9); the average number of nodules per plant in the control group was 17.5, while the average number of nodules per plant in the overexpression group was 30.72 (fig. 17, C), and the number of nodules in the overexpression plant was significantly increased compared to the control group (p <0.001, n ═ 9); the fresh root nodule weight of the control plant (control) is 0.004 g/grain on average, while the fresh root nodule weight of the over-expressed plant is 0.009 g/grain on average (as shown in fig. 17, D), and compared with the control group, the fresh root nodule weight of the over-expressed plant is significantly increased (p <0.001, and n is 9).
In conclusion, the mass expression of the MtPA 2 gene promotes the formation and development of the nodule, improves the nitrogen-fixing enzyme activity, and further promotes the growth of the overground part.
Construction of MtPA 2 gene silencing vector:
since overexpression of the mtpp 2 gene promotes root nodule development and plant growth, is silencing the expression of this gene also detrimental to root nodule development or inhibits plant growth?

Transcriptional level measurements in nodules following silencing of mtpp 2:
in order to determine whether the constructed RNAi interference vector plays a role in alfalfa hair roots and root nodules, a transgenic plant is obtained through alfalfa hair root transformation, after the plant hair roots grow for 10 days, root samples are harvested, RNA is extracted, the RNA is reversely transcribed into cDNA, and silencing efficiency detection is carried out; the results showed that the relative expression of mtpp 2 in the roots of the silenced plants was 0.35 times (n-9, p <0.001) that of the empty vector control plants (control) (fig. 20, a); the MtPA 2 gene expression is inhibited; inoculating sinorhizobium meliloti S.meliloti1021 to the obtained positive plants, harvesting a rhizobium sample after 21 days, extracting RNA, performing reverse transcription to obtain cDNA, and performing transcription level detection; the results showed that the relative expression of mtpp 2 in silenced plant nodules was 0.07 times (n-9, p <0.001) that of empty vector control plants (control) (fig. 20, B); indicating that the batch of plants can be used for the subsequent symbiotic phenotype identification.
Mtpp 2 gene silencing affects nodule symbiosis:
carrying out symbiotic phenotype identification on the obtained silent plants; the results showed that the mtpp 2 silenced plants grew less overground, had shorter underground roots, had small nodules and mostly necrotic nodules with faint color, compared to the empty vector control (control) plants (fig. 21, a-D).
In order to quantify the degree of influence of the silenced MtPA 2 on symbiotic nitrogen fixation, the overground fresh weight, the azotobacter activity, the number of nodules and the fresh weight of nodules of the two groups of plants are respectively subjected to statistical analysis; the results showed that the fresh weight of aerial parts of the control plants (control) averaged 0.061 g/grain, while the silenced plants averaged 0.048 g/grain, with a significant decrease in the fresh weight of the silenced plants above ground compared to the control (p <0.05, n-9) (fig. 22, a); the average of the azotase activity of the plants in the control group is 3.93 mu molg-1NDWh-1, the azotase activity of the silenced plants is 2.48 mu molg-1NDWh-1, and compared with the control group, the azotase activity of the silenced plants is remarkably reduced (p is less than 0.001, and n is 9) (figure 22, B); the average number of nodules per plant in the control group was 17.8, with an average number of nodules per plant of 16.5 for the roses, an average number of nodules per 1.3 for the xanthomas, and an average number of nodules per plant of 16.8 for the silenced plants, with an average number of nodules per 10.6 for the roses and an average number of nodules per 6.1 for the xanthomas, there was no significant difference in the total number of nodules of the silenced plants compared to the control group, but the number of nodules was significantly reduced and the number of necrotic yellow nodules was significantly increased (p >0.05, n-9) (fig. 22, C); the fresh root nodule weight of the control plant (control) was 0.003 g/piece on average, while that of the silenced plant was 0.002 g/piece on average, and the fresh root nodule weight of the silenced plant was significantly reduced compared to the control (p <0.05, n-9) (fig. 22, D).
In conclusion, due to silencing of the MtPA 2 gene, phosphorus elements required by symbiotic nitrogen fixation cannot be timely transported to the root nodule, so that the activity of the root nodule nitrogen fixation enzyme is reduced, and the overground growth of the plant is influenced.
To further examine the role of mtpp 2 in nodule formation and development, 9-12 positive nodules were randomly picked from the empty vector control, overexpression and silencing groups, respectively, and fixed by FAA, paraffin-embedded, slit, stained with toluidine blue, and observed under a stereomicroscope.
