摘　　要：以半矮秆育种为代表的“绿色革命”极大地提高了作物产量,但也带来氮营养利用效率降低的严重问题。“绿色革命”主要基于调控赤霉素的代谢和信号转导而实现。前期的研究发现,赤霉素信号转导关键因子DELLA蛋白通过调控GRF4而负调控氮素的吸收利用,为半矮秆品系氮利用效率低的问题提供了解决方案。最近的一项研究进一步揭示了GA信号途径与氮响应交叉互作的新机制。该研究发现水稻(Oryza sativa)NGR5是氮素调控分蘖数目的一个关键基因,其表达受氮诱导。通过招募PRC2,NGR5对D14和OsSPL14等分蘖抑制基因所在位点进行H3K27me3甲基化修饰,从而抑制其表达。而在半矮秆背景下超表达NGR5可以提高低氮水平下的水稻产量。NGR5同时也被发现为赤霉素受体GID1的一个新靶标,受到其负调控。该研究发现了调控赤霉素信号通路的新机制,并对高产高效的新一代“绿色革命”育种实践具有重要启示。The Green Revolution represented by the breeding of semi-dwarf crops greatly promoted agriculture yield,but it also unfortunately led to the problem of low nitrogen use efficiency(NUE).The achievement of Green Revolution was mainly based on modification of gibberellin(GA)metabolic or signaling pathways in crops.A previous study has found that the central regulator of GA signaling pathway DELLA protein negatively regulates NUE through suppressing GRF4,an essential NUE regulator,which provided a resolution for improving NUE of semi-dwarf rice.A recent study further revealed a novel mechanism underlying the crosstalk between GA signaling and nitrogen response.The study revealed that NGR5 is a key gene controlling tiller number changes under different nitrogen conditions,which is inducible by nitrogen.Further investigation established that the NGR5 suppresses branching inhibitory genes,such as D14 and OsSPL14,through nitrogen-dependent recruitment of polycomb repressive complex 2 that promotes histone H3 lysine 27 tri-methylation in the regions habouring the branching suppressors.In addition to be responsive to nitrogen,NGR5 is also negatively regulated by GA and its receptor GID,and overexpression of NGR5 in the semi-dwarf background is thus able to significantly improve rice yields under low nitrogen conditions.This study not only uncovered a new mechanism of GA signaling,but also enlightens the new generation of Green Revolution by breeding high yield crops with enhanced NUE.
