摘要
The morphological and physiological responses of barley to moderate Pi deficiency and the ability of barley to grow on phytate were investigated. Barley cultivars (Hordeum vulgare L., Promyk, Skald and Stratus) were grown for 1-3 weeks on different nutrient media with contrasting phosphorus source: KH(2)PO(4) (control), phytic acid (PA) and without phosphate (-P). The growth on -P medium strongly decreased Pi concentration in the tissues; culture on PA medium generally had no effect on Pi level. Decreased content of Pi reduced shoot and root mass but root elongation was not affected; Pi deficit had slightly greater impact on growth of barley cv. Promyk than other varieties. Barley varieties cultured on PA medium showed similar growth to control. Extracellular acid phosphatase activities (APases) in -P roots were similar to control, but in PA plants were lower. Histochemical visualization indicated for high APases activity mainly in the vascular tissues of roots and in rhizodermis. Pi deficiency increased internal APase activities mainly in shoot of barley cv. Stratus and roots of cv Promyk; growth on PA medium had no effect or decreased APase activity. Protein extracts from roots and shoots were run on native discontinuous PAGE to determine which isoforms may be affected by Pi deficiency or growth on PA medium; two of four isoforms in roots were strongly induced by conditions of Pi deficit, especially in barley cv. Promyk. In conclusion, barley cultivars grew equally well both on medium with Pi and where the Pi was replaced with phytate and only slightly differed in terms of acclimation to moderate deficiency of phosphate; they generally used similar pools of acid phosphatases to acquire Pi from external or internal sources.
