摘要:

紫花苜蓿是种植面积最广的多年生豆科饲草,由于其产量高、品质优良而被誉为“牧草之王”。干旱胁迫会对紫花苜蓿生长发育的各个阶段造成严重影响,导致产量损失。干旱胁迫对紫花苜蓿发芽率、分枝形成、茎伸长、叶片发育、根系发育等造成影响,可导致饲草产量减少70%以上。利用分子育种加速培育耐旱性苜蓿新品种是应对干旱胁迫的有效策略。然而紫花苜蓿抗旱性相关的遗传研究基础相对薄弱。前期研究主要集中于转基因和同源克隆。随着紫花苜蓿基因组的发布和测序技术的发展,全基因组关联分析和以转录组测序为代表的组学技术在紫花苜蓿抗旱相关基因的鉴定和抗旱遗传机制的解析中发挥了越来越重要的作用。本研究全面总结了干旱胁迫对紫花苜蓿产量的影响,并概述了近年来在紫花苜蓿抗旱性遗传研究领域取得的进展,旨在为紫花苜蓿抗旱育种提供参考依据。

Abstract:

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is the most widely cultivated perennial leguminous forage crop, acclaimed as the “king of forages” because of its high yield and superior quality. Drought stress has a significant impact on the growth and development of alfalfa, resulting in substantial yield reductions. It influences the germination rate, branch formation, stem elongation, leaf growth, and root development, potentially causing large decreases (>70%) in forage yield. Accelerating the breeding of drought-tolerant alfalfa varieties through molecular breeding is an effective strategy to mitigate the effects of drought stress on this forage crop. However, the genetic foundation of drought resistance in alfalfa remains largely unexplored. Previous research on alfalfa has mainly concentrated on transgenic methods and homologous cloning techniques. With the release of the alfalfa genome and advances in sequencing technology, genome-wide association studies and omics technologies based on transcriptome sequencing have played an increasingly important role in identifying drought-related genes and elucidating drought resistance mechanisms in alfalfa. This paper comprehensively summarizes the effects of drought stress on alfalfa yield, outlines recent advances in research on the genetic basis of drought resistance in alfalfa, and provides a reference for the breeding of drought-resistant alfalfa varieties.
