Project description:The environment plays important role in the interaction between plant hosts and pathogens. The application of chemical fertilizer is a crucial breeding technology to enhance crop yield since last century. As the most abundant fertilizer, nitrogen often increases disease susceptibility for crop plants. The underlying mechanism for nitrogen induced disease susceptibility is elusive. Here we found that nitrogen application activate gibberellin signaling by degradation of SLR1, the repressor protein in gibberellin signaling, which result in simultaneously promoting plant growth and disease susceptibility. SLR1, physically interacts with OsNPR1 and consequently facilitate OsNPR1 mediated defense responses. Transcriptome analysis showed that OsNPR1-SLR1 module plays a vital role in transcriptional reprogramming for both disease resistance and plant growth. Increase of SLR1 protein level in gibberellin deficient rice plants neutralizes disease susceptibility but sacrifice yield enhancement under high nitrogen supply. Mutation in SD1, encoding OsGA2ox2, produced more grains than WT,and maintains disease resistance under high nitrogen supply. Taken together, our work reveals the molecular mechanism underlying nitrogen-induced disease susceptibility, and demonstrates that the application of sd1 rice varieties prevent the tradeoff between disease susceptibility and yield increase under high nitrogen supply.
Project description:Increasing global food production demands have resulted in increased fertilizer usage, causing detrimental environmental impacts. Biostimulants, such as humic substances, are currently being applied as a strategy to increase plant nutrient-use efficiency and minimize environmental impacts within cropping systems. Humalite is a unique, naturally occurring coal-like substance found in deposits across southern Alberta. These deposits contain exceptionally high ratios of humic acids (>70%) and micronutrients due to their unique freshwater depositional environment. Humalite has begun to be applied to fields by local growers in Alberta, despite limited scientific data on yield impacts across diverse crops. Recent work has shown positive impacts on plant growth, yield and nutrient usage in wheat plants supplemented with Humalite; however, there is little known of the impact of Humalite at the molecular level. Here, we report a quantitative proteomics approach to identify systems-level molecular changes induced by the addition of different Humalite application rates in field-grown wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under three urea fertilizer application rates. In particular, we see wide-ranging protein abundance changes in proteins associated with several metabolic pathways and growth-related biological processes that suggest how Humalite modulates the plant molecular landscape. Our results provide new, functional information that will help better inform agricultural producers on optimal biostimulant and fertilizer usage.

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.
