APPLICATION OF PHOSPHORUS STARVATION RESPONSE FACTOR PHR2 IN PLANT AND ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAL SYMBIOSIS AND IMPROVING PHOSPHORUS NUTRITION
Applicants: CAS Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences
Abstract: Provided is a method for regulating the symbiosis of gramineous plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi or regulating the inhibitory effect of high phosphorus on mycorrhizal symbiosis, the method comprising: adjusting the expression or activity of the phosphorus starvation response factor PHR2 in gramineous plants. Also provided is the use of PHR2 or an encoding gene thereof in regulating the symbiosis of gramineous plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, regulating the inhibitory effect of high phosphorus on mycorrhizal symbiosis, and as a molecular marker for the identification of the symbiosis of gramineous plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Also provided is a method for using PHR2 to screen for substances that regulate the symbiosis of gramineous plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi or regulate the inhibitory effect of high phosphorus on mycorrhizal symbiosis. Also provided is a method for using PHR2 to identify mycorrhizal-associated genes regulated by PHR2 in mycorrhizal symbiosis.
Independent Claims:
1. A method for regulating symbiosis between Gramineous plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi or regulating the inhibitory effect of sufficient phosphate on mycorrhizal symbiosis, wherein the method comprises: regulating the expression or activity of phosphate starvation response factor PHR in Gramineous
13. A method for screening substances that regulate the symbiosis of Gramineous plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi or regulate the inhibitory effect of sufficient phosphate on mycorrhizal symbiosis, comprising: (1) Adding candidate substance to the system expressing phosphate starvation response factor PHR; (2) Detecting the system to observe the expression or activity of phosphate starvation response factor PHR in the system; if the expression or activity increases, it indicates that the substance can be used for promoting the symbiosis between Gramineous plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi or antagonizing the inhibitory effect of sufficient phosphate on mycorrhizal symbiosis; if the expression or activity decreases, it indicates that the substance can be used for inhibiting the symbiosis between Gramineous plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.
15. A method for identifying mycorrhizal-associated genes regulated by PHR2, comprising analyzing promoters of mycorrhizal-associated genes; wherein, if there is a cis-acting element P1BS, it indicates that the gene can be directly regulated by PHR2 in mycorrhizal symbiosis.
