Effects of Magnesium Nutrition on Soybean Growth and Transcriptomic Response to Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal Inoculation

ABSTRACT: In the study, two soybean genotypes were selected to conduct high and low P, high and low Mg, and AM fungal inoculation treatments, combined with RNA-seq sequencing technique in order to investigate the physiological and molecular mechanisms of the symbiosis between soybean and AM fungi affected by P and Mg treatments. The results showed that both Mg application and AM fungal inoculation were beneficial to promote soybean growth under low P condition. And there was a synergistic effect between the Mg concentration and the P concentration in the root of HN112 under the inoculation condition. RNA-seq sequencing was carried out using the roots of P-efficient soybean HN89 under different Mg and inoculation treatments with low P condition, and the difference of gene expression profiles was analyzed between high and low Mg treatments, and different inoculation treatments. According to the analysis of GO function classification and KEGG enrichment, under high Mg condition, the metabolic pathway was mainly enriched in lipid metabolism and glucose metabolism pathway under the inoculation treatment compared with the non-inoculation treatment, which regulated carbon metabolism pathway. Under the low Mg condition, the metabolic pathway was mainly enriched in the photosynthesis- antenna protein pathway to regulate the photosynthesis pathway under the inoculation treatment compared with the non-inoculation treatment. At the same time, the inoculation treatment significantly increased soybean root starch concentration under low Mg condition, compared with the non-inoculation treatment, suggesting that the significant up-regulation of a large number of photosynthesis related genes might be related to the significant increase of starch concentration at this treatment.

Project description:Background: The unprecedented rise in atmospheric CO2 concentration and injudicious fertilization or heterogeneous distribution of Mg in the soil warrant further research to understand the synergistic and holistic mechanisms involved in the plant growth regulation. The objective of this work is to understand responses in plants along with interactive effect of elevated CO2 and Mg levels by comparing data on single stress with that of combined stresses. Results: This study investigated the influence of elevated CO2 (800 μL L−1) on physiological and transcriptomic profiles in Arabidopsis cultured in hydroponic media treated with 1 μM (low), 1000 μM (normal) and 10000 μM (high) Mg2+. Following 7-d treatment, elevated CO2 increased the shoot growth and chlorophyll content under both low and normal Mg supply, whereas root growth was improved exclusively under normal Mg nutrition. Notably, the effect of elevated CO2 on mineral homeostasis in both shoots and roots was less than that of Mg supply. Irrespective of CO2 treatment, high Mg increased leaf number but decreased root growth and absorption of P, K, Ca, Fe and Mn whereas low Mg increased the concentration of P, K, Ca and Fe in leaves. Elevated CO2 decreased the expression of genes related to cadmium response, cell redox homeostasis and lipid localization, but enhanced photosynthesis, signal transduction, protein phosphorylation, NBS-LRR disease resistance proteins and subsequently programmed cell death in low-Mg shoots. By comparison, elevated CO2 enhanced the response of lipid localization (mainly LTP transfer protein/protease inhibitor), endomembrane system, heme binding and cell wall modification in high-Mg roots. Some of these transcriptomic results are substantially in accordance with our physiological and/or biochemical analysis. Conclusions: Contrasting changes were found between roots and shoots with the shoot transcriptome being more severely affected by low Mg while the root transcriptome more affected by high Mg. Elevated CO2 had a greater effect on transcript response in low Mg-fed shoots as well as in high Mg-fed roots. The present findings broaden our current understanding on the interactive effect of elevated CO2 and Mg levels in the Arabidopsis, which may help to design the novel metabolic engineering strategies to cope with Mg deficiency/excess in crops under elevated CO2.
