摘要:

作为植物根系、土壤及微生物的关键纽带, 根系分泌物不仅是信息传递的重要桥梁, 还是能量输入的核心载体, 在植物响应环境变化的过程中起重要作用。然而, 混交对根系分泌物代谢产物的影响尚不清楚。该研究以我国南亚热带马尾松(Pinus massoniana)纯林、格木(Erythrophleum fordii)纯林、马尾松格木混交林为研究对象, 通过野外原位收集法分别获取了马尾松和格木在纯林和混交林中的根系分泌物, 利用组合型四极杆Orbitrap质谱仪(LC-MS/MS)检测根系分泌物代谢产物。结果表明: (1)马尾松和格木根系分泌物代谢产物中脂类、有机杂环类、有机酸类和有机氧类化合物的相对定量值均表现为纯林显著高于混交林; (2)通过比较分析纯林与混交林树种根系分泌差异代谢物发现, 马尾松有208个差异代谢物, 其中甘油磷脂在马尾松纯林中表现为显著上调, 格木有106个差异代谢物, 其中4-烯丙基苯酚、紫苏醛、异丁酸和双碘毒素在格木纯林中表现为显著上调; (3) KEGG注释及富集分析发现, 相较于混交林, 马尾松和格木纯林的脂质代谢途径均表现为显著上调, 该代谢与植物防御策略相关。

Abstract:

Aims As a crucial coupling agent linking plant roots, soil, and microorganisms, root exudates serve not only as an important vector for information transformation, but also as the core carrier for energy input, playing a significant role in shaping responses of plants to environmental changes. However, the effects of mixed-species on the metabolite compositions of root exudates remain unclear. Our objective is to explore the differences in metabolite compositions of root exudates between mixed stands and corresponding pure stands, and the implications on sustainable management of subtropical plantations.

Methods In this study, we used in-situ collection devices to sample root exudates of Pinus massoniana and Erythrophleum fordii in their pure and mixed (P. massoniana× E. fordii) stands in southern subtropial China. The metabolite compositions of root exudates of each species were analyzed using LC-MS/MS.

Important findings (1) The relative quantitative values of lipids, organic heterocyclic compounds, organic acids and organic oxygen compounds of root exudates of P. massoniana and E. fordii were significantly higher in pure stands than in mixed stands. (2) Comparative analysis of differential metabolites between pure and mixed forests, we revealed that P. massoniana had 208 differential metabolites, with glycerophospholipids exhibiting significant up-regulation in the P. massonianapure forest, and E. fordii had 106 differential metabolites, with p-Mentha-1,8-dien-7-ol, chavicol, isobutyric acid and diplodiatoxin exhibiting significant up-regulation in the E. fordiipure forest. (3) KEGG annotation and enrichment analysis showed that lipid metabolism pathways were significantly up-regulated in both P. massoniana and E. fordiipure forests compared to their mixed forest, and the lipid metabolism was correlated with plant defense strategies.
