Abstract:

Objective: This study aims to provide theoretical support for the evaluation of the subsequent environmental security as well as the industrialization of transgenic BpGLK Betula pendula 'Dplecprlicp', by studying the soil physicochemical properties, the enzyme activity and the community composition of the rhizosphere soil microorganism of transgenic BpGLK B. pendula 'Dplecprlicp'. Method: Two-year-old BpGLK transformed B.pendula 'Dplecprlicp' (RE1-RE5) were used to study the stability of exogenous genes. The growth characteristics, physicochemical properties and enzyme activity of rhizosphere soil were determined. High-throughput sequencing technology was used to analyze the community characteristics of soil bacteria and fungi. Result: The Bar gene and BpGLK interference fragment were still integrated in the genome of transgenic B. pendula 'Dplecprlicp' strains. As for the growth traits, RE strains were relatively higher or significantly higher than WT strain (RE3 excepted). The soil pH, contents of organic carbon, total nitrogen and available nitrogen of RE strains were lower or significantly lower than those of WT strain. The contents of available phosphorus, total potassium and available potassium in RE strains were significantly higher than those in WT strain (except RE1) (P < 0.05). RE strains had lower or significantly lower soil urease and sucrase activities than WT strain, while RE strains had significantly higher neutral protease activity than WT strain. The analysis of the community richness and diversity indicated that there was no significant difference in the bacteria community between RE strains and WT strain. The fungi richness of RE strains was higher or significantly higher than that of WT strain. However, there was no significant difference in fungi diversity between RE strains and WT strain. As for Saccharimonadales, Acidothermus and other 8 genera of bacteria, RE strains were significantly higher than WT strain, while Candidatus_ Soliactor and other 4 genera were significantly lower than WT strain. In the fungal community, Tomentella was the dominant group in the rhizosphere soil of RE strains. Conclusion: The growth of two-year-old transgenic BpGLK B.pendula 'Delecprlicp' outperforms that of wild-type strain. No adverse effects of transgenic activities on physicochemical properties, enzyme activity and microbial community composition of rhizosphere soil have been found in this experiment.
