Summary

一种简单、多功能、低成本的体外水培系统成功地进行了优化, 使得在无菌条件下进行大规模实验。该系统促进了化学物质在溶液中的应用, 并为分子、生物化学和生理学研究提供了有效的根系吸收。

Abstract

植物生物学的广泛研究是利用水培培养进行的。在这项工作中, 提出了一种用于评估植物对化学物质和其他物质的反应的体外培水生长系统。该系统高效地获得了 c3和 c4拟南芥狗尾草贝的均匀健康苗。无菌栽培避免了藻类和微生物的污染, 这是植物正常生长和栽培发展的已知限制因素。此外, 该系统具有可伸缩性, 能够大规模地收获植物材料, 具有较小的机械损伤, 而且如果需要, 还能收获植物的各个部分。详细的协议表明, 该系统有一个简单和低成本的组装, 因为它使用吸管架作为种植植物的主平台, 提供。采用拟南芥苗对该系统的可行性进行了验证, 以评价雷帕霉素 (TOR) 激酶靶化学抑制剂 AZD-8055 药物的作用。在根和芽 AZD-8055 治疗后, 早期30分钟有效检测 TOR 抑制。此外, AZD-8055-treated 植物显示预期淀粉过剩表型。我们建议这种水培系统作为植物研究人员的理想方法, 目的是监测植物诱导剂或抑制剂的作用, 以及使用同位素标记化合物评估代谢通量, 一般来说, 需要使用昂贵的试剂。

Introduction

种植植物使用水培的优势已被广泛认可, 在生产大型和均匀的植物, 使可再生的实验1,2,3。在该系统中, 营养液的组成可以在植物生长发育的各个阶段得到适当的控制和循环利用。此外, 根系不受非生物胁迫, 如土壤生长的植物, 如养分饥饿和缺水4。随着植物的生长培呈现出与土壤中培养的形态和生理特征相当相似的生物, 该系统在研究中得到了广泛的应用, 因为它允许监测根/芽的生长及其收获, 而不伤害2,5

由于有可能改变营养液的成分和浓度, 大多数使用水培条件的研究已经完成, 以表征微-和营养素1,3 的功能。,6,7,8。然而, 该系统已证明是非常有用的广泛的应用于植物生物学, 如阐明激素和化学物质在植物中的作用。例如, 发现 strigolactones 作为一个新的类激素9和加速生长表型触发 brassinosteroid 应用10是在水培条件下进行的。此外, 该系统还可以进行标记同位素的实验 (例如, 14n/15n 和13CO2)11,12 , 以评估其纳入蛋白质和代谢物通过质谱分析。

考虑到该系统在植物研究中的重要性, 在过去几年中设计了大量的水培技术, 包括使用 (i) 将幼苗从盘子转移到水培容器3的系统, 13;(二) 西斯尔, 限制进入根系发育的早期阶段21415;(iii) 聚乙烯颗粒为浮动体, 使小分子/处理的均匀应用困难16;或 (iv) 植物数量减少9,17。其中许多协议中描述的水培池体积通常很大 (体积从 1-5 升到32升)18, 这使得化学品的应用极为昂贵。虽然很少有研究表明在无菌条件下的水培栽培8,19, 系统的装配通常是相当费力的, 包括完美的调整尼龙网格成塑料或玻璃容器5,8,17,20

由于拟南芥作为模型植物的重要性, 大多数的水培系统是为这个物种1,2,8,14,18,19,20. 尽管如此, 还有几项研究报告了其他植物的水耕生长特性, 并对种子进行预处理, 以改善它们在体外816 的发芽和同步速率..为了进行大规模的工作, 我们制定了一项协议, 建立一个简单和低成本的维修水培系统, 使种植植物的无菌条件, 包括一. 芥和其他物种, 如草狗尾草贝。本方法适用于不同的实验, 因为幼苗生长可以最大化, 同步, 易于监测。此外, 该系统具有以下优点: (一) 其装配简单, 可重复使用;(二) 使不同的化学品易于在液体介质中应用;(iii) 幼苗在培养基中发芽并直接生长, 不需要迁移到水培系统;(iv) 可密切监督苗根发育/生长, 并无损伤地收获幼苗;并且 (v) 它使有可能大规模地工作, 保持生理条件。

Discussion

这种优化的培水结构能够成功地培养植物的体外培养。种子在吸管尖端平坦表面的固体培养基上发芽良好, 与种子浸泡在营养液中的系统相比, 有相当大的增益。该系统的一个很好的优点是在幼苗发育过程中, 根直接接触液体培养基, 而不需要迁移。此外, 化学处理可以很容易地应用于液体介质中, 减少体积。湿度保持高, 避免了养分溶液的蒸发和补给。此外, 在幼苗建立过程中, 可以很容易地?…
