台大研究團隊發現水稻與真菌共生關鍵調控因子IDD7

Quick Look

國立台灣大學植物科學研究所副教授楊淑怡團隊歷時近8年研究,發現轉錄因子IDD7為維持水稻與叢枝菌根菌共生關係的關鍵開關,其缺失會降低真菌共生程度並影響養分交換結構的發育,研究成果已刊登於國際期刊《Nature Communications》。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

植物與叢枝菌根菌共生是自然界普遍的互利關係,真菌幫助植物從土壤中吸取磷等養分,植物則提供碳源給真菌。此共生關係對農業養分利用效率具有重要影響。

水稻的根也有「真菌好朋友」,水稻提供真菌生長所需的碳源,真菌則幫忙從土壤取得磷等重要養分。國立台灣大學植物科學研究所副教授楊淑怡團隊歷時近8年研究,找到維持這段互利關係的重要「開關」IDD7;水稻缺少IDD7時,真菌在根部的共生程度明顯降低,負責交換養分的「叢枝菌絲」也無法正常發育,研究揭開提升水稻養分效率關鍵,已刊登於國際期刊「Nature Communications」。

植物與「叢枝菌根菌」共生,是自然界相當普遍的植物與微生物互利關係。真菌進入植物根部後,會形成高度分枝、外觀如小樹枝般的「叢枝菌絲」,如同雙方的「養分交換站」:植物提供真菌所需碳源,真菌則協助植物取得土壤中的磷等養分。

請繼續往下閱讀...

研究團隊發現,關鍵之一是名為IDD7的轉錄因子。當水稻根部細胞含有叢枝菌絲時,IDD7會大量表現;缺少IDD7的水稻,不僅真菌共生程度下降,叢枝菌絲發育也受影響,與養分運輸、脂肪酸合成及共生相關的許多基因也無法正常啟動。

研究進一步發現,IDD7會與另外2個重要調控蛋白合作。SLR1參與植物荷爾蒙吉貝素訊號,PHR2則調控植物對磷營養的反應,3者共同作用,可更有效啟動菌根共生所需的多個關鍵基因,IDD7本身也能調控PHR2表現。

換句話說,IDD7如同「交通樞紐」,串聯水稻生長、磷營養及真菌共生等不同訊息,再協調相關基因運作,讓水稻與真菌順利交換養分。

研究團隊表示,叢枝菌根菌能幫助作物取得土壤養分,也可能提升植物面對環境逆境的能力。釐清水稻控制菌根共生的分子機制,未來可望作為提升作物養分利用效率及逆境適應能力的科學基礎。下一步將探討IDD7與其他調控蛋白及染色質調控機制如何合作,以及是否參與提升水稻逆境耐受性。

研究由楊淑怡主持,陳姵蓉、杜佾璁、張育庭、何敏芝、郭椀濘、郭政琳、張凱傑及林佾增為共同第一作者,石軒誌及台大生命科學系教授鄭貽生亦參與研究,歷時近8年,由多屆研究生接力完成。

This year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine focuses on "optogenetics". Using green algae photosensitive proteins and genetic engineering, scientists have successfully used a beam of light to precisely control nerve cells in the animal brain within a thousandth of a second. This has been extended to human ophthalmology clinical trials to restore the sense of light to blind people.
