基因表达调控是水稻化感作用形成的重要基础。本研究对化感水稻P1312777(Oryza sativaL.)的OsMYB(CT82953)基因分别进行过表达(overexpression,OE)和RNA干扰(RNAi),再与稗草(Echinochloa crusgalli,BYG)共培养,以野生型P1312777为对照。结果发现,与稗草共培养下CT829537-OEPl312777的酚类代谢关键酶基因表达上调,根系及其水培液中的总酚酸浓度增加,抑草能力增强;相同处理下CT829537-RNAiPl312777则相反,其酚类代谢关键酶基因较野生型植株表达下调,总酚酸浓度降低,抑草能力下降。这表明OsMYB(CT829537)通过调节化感水稻的酚酸类物质合成进而影响其抑草能力。
Regulation of gene expression is a vital process in the formation of rice allelopathy. In this study, allelopathic rice PI312777 (Oryza sativa L.) was modified by RNA interference (RNAi) and overexpression(OE) technologies to inhibit or en- hance gene expression of OsMYB (CT829537) in PI312777 respectively. The results showed that up-regulation of phenolic syn- thesis related genes was found in CT829537-OE transgenic PI312777 co-cultured with bamyardgrass (BYG), compared with that in wild type. However, the reverse was true in the CT829537-RNAi transgenic PI312777. Up-regulation of the gene expression in CT82953 7-OE transgenic PI312777 increased phenolic acids contents in rice root and root exudates, which led to enhance allelo- pathic inhibition on bamyardgrass. In contrast, decreases of phenolic acids contents and weed inhibition were found in CT829537-RNAi transgenic PI312777. These results implied that CT829537 is responsible for regulating phenolic synthesis in allelopathic rice PI312777 and then enhances allelopathic inhibition on weeds.
