We examined the effects of phosphorus (P) levels on photosynthetic and P/Fe traits of soybean under the stress of low Fe and their genotypic differences, to provide a theoretical basis for rational application of P and Fe fertilizer. Six P-efficient and six P-inefficient soybean varieties screened in the early stage were used as experimental materials. Four treatments of P:Fe ratio were set, including 0:30, 30:30, 150:30 and 300:30 (µmol·L-1). We measured chlorophyll fluorescence traits and P-Fe utilization efficiency in soybean. A stepwise regression equation was established with seed weight per plant. Pathway analysis was performed, with the response of P-efficient and P-inefficient soybean genotypes to different P:Fe treatments being comprehensively evaluated by factor scores. The results showed significant main and interactive effects of genotype and P:Fe on the relative electron transfer rate of photosystem Ⅱ (ETR) at beginning of flowering stage (R1), the proportion of the energy absorbed by photosystem Ⅱ dissipated into heat (NPQ) at R1 stage, and proportion of energy absorbed by photosystem Ⅱ devoted to the photochemical reaction (qL) at R1 stage. Results of canonical correlation analysis showed a negative correlation between P utilization efficiency of seed at full maturity stage (R8) and photosynthetic rate at R1 stage of P-efficient genotypes. Seed Fe utilization efficiency of P-inefficient genotypes at R8 stage was positively correlated with NPQ at R1 stage, but negatively correlated with qL at R1 stage. The actual photochemical efficiency of PSⅡ (ΦPSⅡ) at R1 stage was negatively correlated with P-efficient genotypes, but positively correlated with P-inefficient genotypes, which indicated that ΦPSⅡ at R1 stage was an important indicator for identifying soybean genotypes with different P efficiency under stress of low Fe. The comprehensive performance of P-efficient soybean genotypes decreased first and then increased with P level, while P-inefficient soybean genotypes increased first and then decreased. The inflection point of both genotypes appeared in P:Fe of 30:30. Thus, P:Fe ratio of 30:30 could be used as a threshold to identify soybean genotypes with different P efficiency under stress of low Fe. In conclusion, P fertilizer application should be equal to or greater than 1:1 (P:Fe) when planting P-efficient soybean genotypes in low Fe area, while P fertilizer application should not exceed 1:1 (P:Fe) when planting P-inefficient soybean genotypes.

Potent antitumor activity of double-regulated oncolytic adenovirus-mediated ST13 for colorectal cancer.

Following targeted gene virotherapy, the suppression of tumorigenicity 13 (ST13) gene was inserted into the double-regulated oncolytic adenovirus SG500 to ensure more safety and potent antitumor activity against colorectal cancer in vitro and in vivo. We generated the ST13-expressing oncolytic adenovirus SG500-ST13, with which colorectal carcinoma cell lines SW620 and HCT116, and the lung fibroblast cell line WI38, were infected. Crystal violet staining was carried out to detect the cytopathic effect in cells, and the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide method was used to assay cell viability. The effect of apoptosis induced by SG500-ST13 was confirmed by Hoechst staining and the TdT-mediated dUTP-biotin nick-end labeling method. To further identify the antitumor effects of SG500-ST13 on HCT116 xenografts in Balb/c nude mice, the induction of cell death was assessed by hematoxylin-eosin staining. Immunohistochemical study was also carried out.
