摘要:

调环酸钙(Pro-Ca)可以积极调节作物对盐碱胁迫的耐受性。然而,施用Pro-Ca的最佳浓度及其增强大豆耐盐碱性和产量的机制仍不清楚。本研究旨在确定外源施用Pro-Ca的最佳浓度,并揭示Pro-Ca对盐碱胁迫下大豆修复和产量响应的潜在机制。结果表明,盐碱胁迫通过触发活性氧(ROS)产生,导致Na+过度积累对基粒片层造成氧化损伤,从而对大豆幼苗的形态和生理特性产生负面影响。施用100 mg L−1 Pro-Ca为最佳,通过显著降低盐碱胁迫下的Na+吸收来改善干物质积累和归一化植被指数(NDVI)。此外,综合生理、超微结构和转录组数据表明,Pro-Ca显著增强了抗坏血酸-谷胱甘肽(AsA-GSH)循环,通过上调相关基因的表达来增强抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)、谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)、脱氢抗坏血酸还原酶(DHAR)和单脱氢抗坏血酸还原酶(MDHAR)的活性以及AsA/DHA和GSH/GSSG的比率以淬灭ROS,从而保护内囊体膜和线粒体膜免受降解。编码抗坏血酸和醛酸代谢的差异表达基因(DEGs)在膜的组成部分中显著富集(P<0.05)。此外,Pro-Ca处理上调了盐碱胁迫下编码光系统的基因表达,降低了光抑制和气孔限制(Ls),并减轻了盐碱胁迫引起的光系统损伤和产量下降。总之,叶片喷施Pro-Ca可通过抑制Na+内流、增强AsA-GSH循环、维持生物膜系统和提高光合效率来有效增强大豆幼苗对盐碱胁迫的耐受性。

Abstract:

Prohexadione-calcium (Pro-Ca) has been shown to positively regulate crop tolerance to saline–alkali stress.  However, the optimal concentration of Pro-Ca application and the mechanisms through which it enhances saline–alkali tolerance and yield in soybean remain unclear.  This study aimed to determine the optimal concentration of exogenously applied Pro-Ca and reveal the mechanisms underlying Pro-Ca’s effect on remediation and yield response in soybean under saline–alkali stress.  The results indicated that saline–alkali stress negatively impacted the morphological and physiological traits of soybean seedlings by triggering the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to oxidative damage of the grana lamellae due to excessive accumulation of Na+.  An application of 100 mg L−1 Pro-Ca was found to be optimal, promoting dry matter accumulation and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) by significantly reducing Na+ uptake under saline–alkali stress.  Moreover, integrated physiological, ultrastructural, and transcriptomic analyses indicated that Pro-Ca significantly enhanced the ascorbate–glutathione (AsA–GSH) cycle by up-regulating the expression of related genes to enhance the activities of ascorbate peroxidase (APX), glutathione reductase (GR), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), and the AsA/dehydroascorbate (DHA) and GSH/oxidized glutathione (GSSG) ratios to quench ROS, thereby protecting both thylakoid and mitochondrial membranes from degradation.  The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) encoding ascorbate and aldarate metabolism were significantly (P<0.05) enriched in the integral component of the membranes.  Furthermore, Pro-Ca treatment up-regulated the expression of genes encoding photosystems under saline–alkali stress, thereby reducing the photoinhibition and stomatal limitation (Ls), mitigating damage to photosystems, and preventing yield reduction.  In summary, foliar application of Pro-Ca could efficiently enhance soybean seedlings’ tolerance to saline–alkali stress by inhibiting Na+ influx, enhancing the AsA–GSH cycle, maintaining the biomembrane system, and improving photosynthetic efficiency.
