摘要:

根系分泌物是植物与土壤间进行物质交换和信息传递的重要载体, 是植物响应外界胁迫的重要途径, 也是构成根际微生态特征的关键因素。根系分泌物与有机污染物的植物修复密切相关, 研究胁迫条件下不同修复潜力植物间根系分泌物的释放特征有助于揭示植物修复的内在机制。该文借助根际袋土培试验研究了苯并[α]芘(BaP)胁迫下5种羊茅属(Festuca)植物根系不同生长期(30-70天)几种低分子量有机物的分泌特征。结果表明: 1) BaP浓度在10.25-161.74 mg·kg-1范围内时, 待试植物能有效地促进土壤中BaP的去除, 其修复潜力依次为苇状羊茅(F. arundinacea) > 草原羊茅(F. chelungkiangnica) ≥ 毛稃羊茅(F. rubra subsp. arctica) ≥ 贫芒羊茅(F. sinomutica) > 细芒羊茅(F. stapfii)。2) BaP胁迫增强了植物根系对可溶性糖的分泌: 随着胁迫强度的增大、胁迫期的延长, 其分泌量变化呈“先升后降”趋势。3) BaP胁迫促进了植物根系低分子量有机酸的释放, 植物的修复潜力越大, 有机酸高峰值出现时的胁迫浓度越高; 组成成分较稳定, 草酸、乙酸、乳酸和苹果酸为主要组分(>97.34%), 在修复潜力较强植物的根系分泌物中检测出微量的反丁烯二酸。4) BaP胁迫对氨基酸种类影响不大, 但对分泌量影响较大。其中, 苏氨酸、丝氨酸、甘氨酸、丙氨酸的分泌量随BaP胁迫强度的增强而剧增; 脯氨酸、羟脯氨酸和天冬氨酸近乎以加和效应甚至协同效应的形式参与植物对BaP胁迫的应激反应: 参与应激组分的分泌量随胁迫强度的增强而剧增, 植物的修复潜力越强, 参与的组分越多。可见BaP胁迫下, 5种羊茅属植物根系分泌物中几种低分子量有机物的释放特征与植物自身的修复潜力有关: 修复潜力越强, 释放量越多且成分也越复杂, 并呈现出较强的环境适应性及生理可塑性。

Abstract:

Aims Root exudates have specialized roles in nutrient cycling and signal transduction between a root system and soil, as well as in plant responses to environmental stresses. They are the key regulators in the rhizosphere communications and can modify the biological and physical interactions between roots and soil organisms. Phytoremediation is an important measure to remove organic pollutants from contaminated soil, and root exudates are considered to be closely related to the mechanisms in the phytoremediation of soils contaminated by organic pollutants.This study was designed to determine the characteristics of root exudates in five Festuca species under the stress of benzo [α] pyrene (BaP) and to identify the effects of BaP on the organic compounds of low molecule weight in root exudates.Methods Five Festuca species, which had been tested to be tolerant to the BaP stress, were used in this study. A soil-cultivating test, with rhizobag technique, was conducted to investigate the effect of BaP concentration on the organic compounds of low molecule weight in root exudates at different growth stages (30-70 days). The BaP concentrations in the contaminated soils were set for 10.25 mg·kg-1, 20.37 mg·kg-1, 40.45 mg·kg-1, 80.24 mg·kg-1, and 161.74 mg·kg-1(denoted by T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5, respectively).Important findings The presence of vegetation enhanced the dissipation of BaP in soils. This effect was especially marked in treatment with F. arundinacea, followed sequentially by that of F. chelungkiangnica, F. rubra subsp. arctica and F. sinomutica; the dissipation of BaP in treatment with F. stapfiwas lowest during the entire experiment. The contents of soluble sugars, organic acids, and amino acids in root exudates were all increased by the BaP treatments. The contents of soluble sugars in root exudates increased notably at relatively low BaP levels (T1-T3) or in earlier stress stages (30-40 days), and declined at relatively high BaP levels (T4-T5) or in later stress stages (40-70 days), with highest values always occurring in the T3 treatments on day 50 of the experiments. In the five Festuca species, oxlic acid, acetic acid, lactic acid and malic acid are the main constituents of organic acids in root exudates, at greater than 97.34% in total in all treatments. However, there are traces of fumaric acid in the root exudates of Festuca species with stronger remediation potentials. When the contents of organic acids in root exudates reached the peak, the stronger the remediation potentials of plants were, the higher the concentrations of BaP would be to induce stress. Nineteen types of common amino acids were found in root exudates of Festuca and the proportion of total amino acids in root exudates remain stable under all the BaP stress treatments, albeit varying contents of the 19 types of amino acids under different BaP concentrations. The contents of all amino acid in root exudates increased with increasing BaP concentrations; especially, the contents of secreted threonine, serine, glycine and alanine increased significantly among the 19 types of amino acids and the differences were significant among all treatments with different BaP concentrations (p< 0.05). However, proline, hydroxyproline, and aspartic acid participated in the stress responses of plants almost in the form of additive or synergistic effects, and their contents in root exudates increased markedly with increasing BaP concentrations in soils; the differences among different treatments were significant (p< 0.05). The more constituents of amino acids there were in stress responses, the stronger the remediation potentials of plants would be. All these illustrate that the characteristics of root exudates in Festuca were closely related to their remediation potential under the BaP stress. The greater the remediation potentials were, the more organic compounds of low molecular weight there were and the more complex those compounds would be. Moreover, they also showed a stronger environment adaptability and physiological plasticity.
