    In order to provide a theoretical basis for the efficient utilization of phosphate fertilizer in foxtail millet production,a field experiment was conducted with four phosphate fertilizer application depths of 5 cm(P5),10 cm(P10),15 cm(P15)and 20 cm(P20)with no phosphate fertilizer application as control(CK),and the effects of phosphorus fertilizer application depth on root distribution,dry matter accumulation and transportation,nitrogen uptake and utilization,and yield of foxtail millet were studied.The results showed that suitable application depth of phosphate fertilizer promoted the growth of foxtail millet roots,and increased root length,root surface area and dry weight of root,showing a trend of P15>P10>P5>P20>CK. With the increase of phosphate fertilizer application depth,the root length,root surface area and dry weight of root of foxtail millet in deep soil increased,and the values showed P20>P15>P10>P5>CK in 20—40 cm soil layer. Suitable application depth of phosphate fertilizer could promote dry matter accumulation and transportation of foxtail millet. Compared with P5 treatment,the dry matter accumulations at maturity of P10,P15 and P20 treatments increased by 4.60%,10.29% and 0.92%,respectively,and the dry matter transfer rates increased by 6.49%,10.06% and -20.13%,respectively.Deep application of phosphate fertilizer increased the uptake and utilization of nitrogen by roots in deep soil.The available nitrogen content in deep soil,especially in the 20—40 cm soil layer,significantly decreased compared with P5 treatment. Compared with P5 treatment,the total nitrogen accumulations of P10,P15 and P20 treatments increased by 3.91%,17.85% and 5.31% at maturity,respectively;nitrogen absorption efficiencies increased by 5.88%,19.12% and 7.35%,and partial productivities of nitrogen increased by 18.95%,32.88% and -1.26%,respectively. Suitable application depth of phosphate fertilizer increased grain weight per spike,yield and harvest index,which all showed P15>P10>P5>P20>CK,the yields of P10 and P15 treatments increased by 18.98% and 32.86% compared with P5 treatment,respectively,and the yield of P20 treatment decreased by 1.27% compared with P5 treatment.In conclusion,15 cm is the optimal depth of phosphorus fertilizer application,which can promote the growth and down lapping of foxtail millet roots,improve the uptake and utilization of nitrogen by roots in soil,promote the accumulation and transportation of dry matter,and increase the yield by 32.86% compared with the shallow application of phosphorus fertilizer at 5 cm.

    Journal of Henan Agricultural Sciences    2022, 51 (1): 34-42.   DOI: 10.15933/j.cnki.1004-3268.2022.01.005
    Abstract1767)      PDF (1847KB)(1389)       Save
    To optimize and screen efficient genome editing systems in millet(Setaria italica),multiple CRISPR/Cas9(clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISRP‐associated nuclease 9)genome editing systems were constructed with six kinds of gRNAs designed for phytoene desaturase(SiPDS) gene(gRNA1—gRNA2 for exon 1,gRNA3—gRNA6 for exon 12),and transformed into protoplasts of millet by polyethylene glycol‐mediated method. Then the mutation efficiency against SiPDS gene was rapidly detected by large‐scale parallel sequencing. The results showed that the protoplast transformation system established by the young stems of 7 day‐old millet etiolated seedlings had high transformation efficiency from 50. 44% to 57. 36%. Using this method,the gene editing systems with Cas9 gene driven by Super and Ubi promoters were transferred into millet protoplasts,the mutation efficiencies of SiPDS gene were 0. 5% and 5. 5% respectively. Thus,the Cas9 gene of gene editing systems with single gRNA,double gRNA or tRNA cassettes were driven by Ubi promoter,and mutation efficiency of SiPDS gene induced by these systems was compared. It was found that the mutation efficiencies of gene editing system with double gRNA cassettes such as Ubi‐dgRNAE1 and Ubi‐dgRNAE12 were 1. 66 and 1. 11 times higher than that with single gRNA system. The mutation efficiency induced by tRNA‐based system Ubi‐tRNA was 51. 24%,which was 5. 87 times higher than that with single gRNA system. Moreover,Ubi‐tRNA could simultaneously edit multiple sites of SiPDS gene,the multi‐site mutation frequency was 3. 23%. The cleavage activities in vitro of ribonucleoprotein(RNP)complexes which were mixture of gRNA3,gRNA4 or gRNA5 transcripts with Cas9 protein respectively were compared,it was found that RNP‐gRNA5 complex had the highest cleavage activity in vitro,the mutation efficiency of SiPDS gene was 2. 0%,and the dominant mutation type was deletion less than 3 bp.

    ZHANG Yi, WU Wanyi, LIU Xiayu, ZHANG Jie, TANG Ruimin, JIA Xiaoyun
    Journal of Henan Agricultural Sciences    2021, 50 (6): 16-27.   DOI: 10.15933/j.cnki.1004-3268.2021.06.003

    To explore the salt tolerance genes in Ipomoea batatas,we selected the top 50%(32 147)genes with large expression variation among different samples using transcriptome data of sweet potato roots at different time under salt stress,and conducted weighted gene co-expression network analysis(WGCNA).The results showed that 20 co-expressed modules were constructed,among which six gene modules were significantly associated with salt stress in sweet potato.Among the six gene modules related to salt stress,Green module and Red module were positively correlated with the salt stress at 48 h,Black and Yellow modules were positively correlated with the salt stress at 12 h,and Midnightblue and Magenta modules were negatively correlated with the salt stress at 48 h.Four specific modules which were positively correlated with salt stress were further analyzed.GO enrichment analysis showed that the four modules were significantly enriched in many items related to salt tolerance,such as transmembrane transport,cell response stimulated by salicylic acid,response to abiotic stimuli and response to hypertonic stress.By calculating the module relationships of genes within the module,bHLH115(basic helix-loop-helix 115), HAK5(high affinity K+transporter 5), NAGS2 (N-acetyl-L-glutamate synthase 2), DUF699 (GNAT acetyltransferase),TLP5(tubby like protein 5)and other genes were found to be the hub genes of these four modules,and the functional prediction suggested that these genes might play important roles in the resistance against stress.Through constructing interaction networks of hub genes,we found that FAR1(farred-impaired response 1),NAC[NAM(no apical meristem),ATAF1(Arabidopsis transcription activation factor 1),ATAF2,CUC2(cup-shaped cotyledon 2)] family gene NAC2,HsfB2a(heat shock transcription factor B2a) and other genes had high interaction with hub genes. This study provides a new idea for further study on the molecular mechanism of salt tolerance in sweet potato.
