Abstract:

Explore the effects of amino acid type water-soluble fertilizer on chlorophyll content and proportion of celery,and the regulation of gene expression related to chlorophyll metabolism,which provides a theoretical basis for the rational application of amino acid type water-soluble fertilizer foliar fertilizer in the production of high-quality pigment-rich celery.The celery variety Ningqin 1 was sprayed with different concentrations of amino acid type water-soluble fertilizer,the contents of chlorophyll a,chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll in leaf blades and petioles were determined and analyzed,and the relative expression levels of genes related to chlorophyll metabolism were determined by fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR).The effects of amino acid type water-soluble fertilizer on chlorophyll accumulation and relative expression levels of related genes were related to the treatment concentration and leaf location.Treatment with 500 μL/L amino acid type water-soluble fertilizer increased the contents of chlorophyll a,chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll in leaf blades and petioles,and decreased the ratio of chlorophyll a/b in petioles.The expression of chlorophyll synthesis-related genes(AgHEMA,AgHEMB,AgCHLM,AgPOR and AgCAO)was induced,and the expression levels of degradation related genes(AgPAO and AgPPH)were significantly down-regulated.Treatment with 1 000 μL/L amino acid type water-soluble fertilizer inhibited chlorophyll accumulation to a certain extent,increased chlorophyll a/b ratio in leaf blades,and significantly down-regulated the expression levels of genes related to chlorophyll synthesis and chlorophyll degradation AgPPH.The suitable concentration of amino acid type water-soluble fertilizer foliar fertilizer can improve the chlorophyll content of celery at seeding stage by regulating the expression level of genes related to chlorophyll metabolism.
