Abstract: To insight into mechanisms of elephant grass adapting to low phosphorus (P) stress,the effects of different P sources on elephant grass growth were investigated by hydroponic experiments. Three PpPAP genes related to ATP utilization were cloned from elephant grass by homologous cloning and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) technology. Results showed that dry weight and total P content at the application of adenosine triphosphate (+ATP) treatment were significantly higher than those at low P (-P) treatment,suggesting that elephant grass has a strong ability to utilize ATP. QRT-PCR analysis showed that after 10 days of growth,the expression of these three PpPAPs associated with ATP utilization in the roots was 170%~403% greater than that of in +ATP treated plants compared to those grown under normal P (+P) treatment. Furthermore,+ATP treatment led to significant increases in the activities of root intracellular and secreted acid phosphatase (ACP),compared to +P treatment. Taken together,the results herein suggest that the expression of PpPAP genes in roots of elephant grass were up-regulated by P deficiency,which may promote the synthesis and secretion of ACP. These adaptive responses of elephant grass may contribute to the utilization of ATP under low P stress.

摘要: 为解析象草(Pennisetum purpureum)适应低磷胁迫机理,本研究通过水培试验,分析了不同磷源处理对象草生长的影响,并利用同源克隆和cDNA末端快速扩增(rapid amplification of cDNA ends,RACE)技术,从象草中克隆了3个可能参与ATP利用的PAP基因。结果表明,在腺嘌呤核苷三磷酸处理(+ATP)下,象草的干重和全磷含量显著高于低磷处理(-P),表明象草对ATP具有较强的利用能力。荧光定量PCR分析表明,与正常供磷处理(+P)相比,+ATP处理10 d使3个可能参与ATP利用的PAP基因在象草根系中的表达量提高170%~403%,并伴随着根系胞内和分泌的酸性磷酸酶(acid phosphatase,ACP)活性显著增加。综上所述,在低磷胁迫条件下,象草根系中PpPAPs基因上调表达,可能促进了根系ACP的合成与分泌,这有助于象草对ATP的活化利用。
