Abstract
Based on the early transcriptome and digital differentially expressed profiling library construction in consecutive monoculture (two-year culturing) Rehmannia glutinosa, we screened and chose the twelve differentially expressed protein genes which might be related with calcium signal system. The spatiotemporal expression of these genes was measured by the real-time quantitative PCR, and the relative expression values of the genes related with calcium signal system in different development stages and tissues of normal growth (one-year culturing) and succession cropping of R. glutinosa (two-year culturing) was elaborated in detail. In addition, disposed succession cropping of R. glutinosa was treated with different levels of calcium signal blocking agents in order to verify the mode of action of calcium signal system on consecutive monoculture problem in R. glutinosa. Among the twelve genes, two calcium channels away from the cytoplasm were down-regulated expressed, while the ten calcium channels toward the cytoplasm were up-regulated expressed. The results implied that succession cropping caused calcium ions flowing from endoplasmic reticulum to cytoplasm. While the key genes in calcium signal respond components such as CBL, CBP, CIBP, PLC, etc. were down-regulated expressed significantly in succession cropping of R. glutinosa which were disposed with calcium signal blocking agents, the extent of the damage was relieved, and approached the normal growth (one-year culturing) level. This result strongly showed that calcium signal system participated in the perceiving, conducting and magnifying processes of succession cropping obstacles of R. glutinosa.
