Abstract:

Free-air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) experimental system was conducted to find out the change trend of relevant enzymes activity about grain starch synthesis in atmospheric CO2 concentration, using high yield and good quality japonica varieties Songjing 9 and Daohuaxiang 2. It was treated with two atmospheric CO2 concentrations: elevated carbon dioxide(600±60μmol·mol-1) and ambient carbon dioxide(400±40μmol·mol-1). The ADPG pyrophosphorylase enzyme activity, starch synthase enzyme activity and starch branching enzyme activity in grains of two rice varieties were measured after flowering. The results showed that the effect of elevated CO2 on the enzyme activity during different grain-filling processes was significantly different, which obviously promoted the expression of ADPG pyrophosphorylase enzyme, soluble and granular starch synthase enzyme activity after the milky stage, but only hindered the expression of starch branching enzyme activity in the grain endosperm at milky stage. Meanwhile, response of starch metabolizing enzyme to elevated CO2 had the genotypic difference with different rice varieties. For the activity of ADPG pyrophosphorylase enzyme, Songjing9 was more affected by elevated CO2, while Daohuaxiang2 was more affected by elevated CO2 for the activity of starch synthase enzyme. The conclusion showed that there was an obvious time characteristics about the influence degree of elevated CO2 to expression of the key enzyme activity during the starch biosynthetic pathway, with the advancement of grouting process. Response degree of different varieties rice on elevated CO2 existed significant differences. Overall, atmospheric CO2 concentration could promote the synthesis of starch in a certain extent.
