In paddy fields, the noxious weed barnyard grass secretes 2,4-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one (DIMBOA) to interfere with rice growth. Rice is unable to synthesize DIMBOA. Rice cultivars with high or low levels of allelopathy may respond differently to DIMBOA.
In this study, we found that low concentrations of DIMBOA (≤ 0.06 mM) promoted seedling growth in allelopathic rice PI312777, while DIMBOA (≤ 0.08 mM) had no significant influence on the nonallelopathic rice Lemont. DIMBOA treatment caused changes in the expression of a large number of glutathione S-transferase (GST) proteins, which resulting in enrichment of the glutathione metabolic pathway. This pathway facilitates plant detoxification of heterologous substances. The basal levels of GST activity in Lemont were significantly higher than those in PI312777, while GST activity in PI312777 was slightly induced by increasing DIMBOA concentrations. Overexpression of GST genes (Os09g0367700 and Os01g0949800) in these two cultivars enhanced rice resistance to DIMBOA.
Taken together, our results indicated that different rice accessions with different levels of allelopathy have variable tolerance to DIMBOA. Lemont had higher GST activity, which helped it tolerate DIMBOA, while PI312777 had lower GST activity that was more inducible. The enhancement of GST expression facilitates rice tolerance to DIMBOA toxins from barnyard grass root exudates.
在稻田中,恶性杂草稗草会分泌 2,4-二羟基-7-甲氧基-2H-1,4-苯并恶嗪-3(4H)-酮(DIMBOA)来干扰水稻的生长。水稻无法合成 DIMBOA。具有高或低化感作用的水稻品种可能对 DIMBOA 有不同的反应。
在这项研究中,我们发现低浓度的 DIMBOA(≤0.06 mM)促进了化感水稻 PI312777 的幼苗生长,而 DIMBOA(≤0.08 mM)对非化感水稻 Lemont 没有显著影响。DIMBOA 处理导致大量谷胱甘肽 S-转移酶(GST)蛋白的表达发生变化,从而丰富了谷胱甘肽代谢途径。该途径有助于植物对外源物质的解毒。Lemont 的 GST 活性基础水平明显高于 PI312777,而 PI312777 中的 GST 活性则随着 DIMBOA 浓度的增加而略有诱导。这两个品种中 GST 基因(Os09g0367700 和 Os01g0949800)的过表达增强了水稻对 DIMBOA 的抗性。
综上所述,我们的结果表明,具有不同化感作用水平的不同水稻品种对 DIMBOA 具有不同的耐受性。Lemont 具有较高的 GST 活性,有助于其耐受 DIMBOA,而 PI312777 的 GST 活性较低,但诱导性较强。GST 表达的增强有助于水稻耐受稗草根分泌的 DIMBOA 毒素。
