Abstract:

The changes of rhizosphere soil microenvironment during Angelica sinensis bolting were explored to provide new ideas for solving the problem of premature bolting. A. sinensis was taken as the research object, the soil properties, bacterial community and metabolite in the rhizosphere soil were determined by 16S rDNA and GC-MC techniques in bolting and unbolting A. sinensis, and the correlation among them was studied. The results show that nitrate nitrogen content in the rhizosphere soil of bolting groups were significantly higher than those of unbolting ones. There was no difference between bolting and unbolting groups in the diversity of rhizosphere soil bacterial community and the structure of dominant bacteria, thus the bacterial community was alike. However, there were significantly differences among 10 non-dominant genera. There were 66 metabolites in the rhizosphere soil of bolting groups, which were different from the unbolting ones, 52 of which were significantly up and 14 significantly down. The differential metabolites were mainly concentrated in 7 related pathways of amino acid metabolism, heterogeneous biodegradation and metabolism, and lipid metabolism. The nitrate nitrogen content, Phaselicystis, Rubellimicrobium were significantly negatively correlated to the differential metabolites of bolting groups(P<0.05). The nitrate nitrogen was mainly negatively related to the biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids, while Phaselicystis and Rubellimicrobium were mainly negatively related to the degradation of aminobenzoate, arginine and proline metabolism. The premature bolting of A. sinensis was related to the increase of nitrate nitrogen content in the rhizosphere soil, and the premature bolting will cause significant changes in the relative abundance of non-dominant bacteria and metabolites in the rhizosphere soil. The increase of nitrate nitrogen content may be related to the change of the relative abundance of Nitrosomonas, but further research is still needed.
