摘要
(1)Root specialized metabolites (RSMs) comprise diverse, functional, plant-derived small molecules that can shape plant fitness by modulating rhizosphere microbe community, although the ecological functions and dynamics of RSM–microbe interactions remain elusive. 根系特异性代谢物包含多种多样、具有功能性的植物来源小分子,它们能够通过调控根际微生物群落来影响植物的适合度,尽管RSM-微生物互作的生态功能和动态变化仍不明确。
(2)Here, to explore how metabolic alterations influence microbiota assembly, we applied systematic multi-omics, phenotypic, and functional profiling of growth phenotypes, root metabolomes, and rhizosphere microbiota in 16 Arabidopsis thaliana mutants, defective in four distinct specialized metabolic pathways, under alkaline agricultural soil conditions.在此,为了探究代谢变化如何影响微生物群落的组装,我们在碱性农业土壤条件下,对16个拟南芥突变体(这些突变体在4条不同的特异性代谢通路上存在缺陷)进行了系统的多组学、表型和功能分析,包括生长表型、根系代谢组和根际微生物组。
(3)This paradigm identified genotype-enriched, rather than pathway-specific, correlations between RSMs and microbes.这一研究范式发现,RSM与微生物之间的相关性是基因型富集型的,而非通路特异性的。
(4)Notably, the cse-2 lignin biosynthesis mutant exhibited chlorosis and growth retardation under iron-deficiency, accompanied by decreased coumarins, but increased aromatic glycosides, with enrichment of Actinobacteria and Pseudomonadota taxa harboring aromatic compound-degrading pathways.值得注意的是,在缺铁条件下,木质素生物合成突变体cse-2表现出黄化和生长迟缓,同时伴随香豆素含量降低、芳香糖苷含量升高,并富集了携带芳香化合物降解途径的放线菌门和假单胞菌门类群。
(5)Co-incubation of root exudates with a synthetic microbial community demonstrated that microbial deglycosylation predominantly underlies the dynamic transformation of such RSMs.将根系分泌物与合成微生物群落共培养表明,微生物介导的去糖基化是这类RSM动态转化的主要驱动力。
(6)Additionally, we identified a secreted β-glucosidase (A594_07591) in these microbes that preferentially hydrolyzes coumarin glycosides.此外,我们在这些微生物中鉴定出一种分泌型的β-葡萄糖苷酶(A594_07591),该酶能够优先水解香豆素糖苷。
(7)Inoculation with Pseudomonas simiae WCS417r heterologously expressing A594_07591 significantly alleviated the iron-deficiency plant phenotype by converting catecholic coumarin glycosides to aglycones.接种异源表达A594_07591的Pseudomonas simiae WCS417r,通过将儿茶酚型香豆素糖苷转化为苷元,显著缓解了植物的缺铁表型。
(8)This study uncovers a cooperative plant–microbe mechanism that transforms coumarins to promote iron acquisition under alkaline conditions and underscores the dynamic remodeling of RSMs in the rhizosphere as a key driver of plant fitness under environmental stress.本研究揭示了一种植物-微生物协同机制,该机制在碱性条件下通过转化香豆素来促进铁的吸收,并强调了根际RSM的动态重塑是环境胁迫下植物适合度的关键驱动因素。
