The effect of phosphorus stress on the energy status and bacteroid content in soybean nodules

인산결핍이 대두근류의 bacteroid 함량과 energy 상태에 미치는 영향

Expermient were conducted to determine the effect of phosphorus stress on bacteroid content and energy status of soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) nodules. Plants inoculated with Bradyrhizobium japonicum MN 110 were grown with P-stressed (0.05 mM-P) and control (1 mM-P) treatment in the greenhouse. Phosphorus stress decreased nodule mass per plant and nodule mass to whole plant mass ratio. Phosphorus concentration in leaf, stem and root tissues were reduced by 75% but in nodule tissue was reduced only by 40% under phosphorus stress during 3 week experimental period. The bacteroid content per unit nodule mass and the distribution of total nitrogen and total phosphorus among the bacteroid and plant cell fractions of nodule were not affected significantly by phosphorus stress. Regardless of phosphorus treatment, 22% of the nitrogen and 27% of the phosphorus in whole nodules were associated with the bacteroid fraction. The ATP and total adenylate concentrations in and energy charge of whole nodule were decreased 77%, 46% and 37%, respectively, by phosphorus stress. The ATP concentration in and energy charge of the host plant cell fraction of nodules were decreased 86% and 59%, respectively, but these parametres in bacteroid in nodules were not affected by phosphorus stress. These results indicated that nodule is a strong phosphorus sink and that nodule growth and development are regulated to maintain a high phosphorus and energy content in bacteroid even when the host plant is subjected to phosphorus deficiency.

인산처리가 근류의 bacteroid 함량과 energy 상태에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 Bradyrhizobium japonicum MN10을 접종한 대두식물(Glycine max [L.] Merr.)에 저해농도(0.05 mM-P)와 정상농도(1.0 mM-P)를 처리하여 온실에서 재배하였다. 인산결핍은 식물체의 근류량과 근류량 식물체량의 비에 유의성있는 감소를 보였다. 잎, 줄기, 뿌리의 인산농도는 인산결핍에 의하여 75%가 감소하였으나 근류의 인산농도는 40%만 감소하였다. 근류의 bacteroid 함량과 근류에서 전인산, 전질소의 bacteroid와 식물세포로의 분배는 인산결핍의 영향을 받지 않았으며 전질소의 22%, 전인산의 27%가 bacteroid에 존재하였다. 근류의 ATP농도, 전 adenylate 농도와 energy charge는 인산결핍에 의하여 각각 77%, 46%, 37%가 감소되었다. 인산결핍은 근류내 식물세포의 ATP 농도와 energy charge를 각각 86%, 59%를 감소시켰으나 bacteroid의 ATP농도와 energy charge에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 근류가 인산의 강한 보유원이며, 기주식물에 대한 인산결핍조건하에서 bacteroid는 정상적인 인산 농도와 energy양을 함유한다는 것을 나타낸다.
