Abstract:

To clarify the lignin accumulation ways in the stem of soybean variety,and further understand the relation between the lignin accumulation and lodging resistance of soybean plant,which could give the theory evidence for plant phenotype regulation and new soybean variety breeding under different planting densities,Charleston,a representative variety with determinate growth habit,was selected in current study and were planted with two densities of 20,35 plants/m2.The lignin content in the elongation zone(EZ)and the secondary cell wall maturation zone(MZ)at the third internode of Charleston's stem were measured and the activities of key enzymes such as 4-Coumarate:coenzyme A ligase(4CL)and phenylalanine aminotransferase(PAL)and cinnamate dehydrogenase(CAD)involved in the lignin synthesis were determined at two different densities.The results showed that lignin content in the stem of Charleston under low density was higher than that under high density.The content of lignin in single internode(stem 3)of Charleston under both high and low density treatments was MZ>EZ.4CL,PAL and CAD activities in low density Charleston stem were higher than those in high density of Charleston and in accordance with gene expression levels.The key genes for lignin synthesized were distributed in soybean genome in different gene families.Moreover,different enzyme gene in one gene family showed different expression style in the same section.Same results could be observed in different organ for one gene.

Key words: Soybean, Stem, Lignin content, Key enzymes for lignin synthesis
