摘要

背景:花蜜通常在花与传粉者的互惠互动中起着传粉者奖励的作用,当植物为传粉者提供产卵地点和幼虫食物作为奖励时,这种互惠关系有时会得到加强。支持这种奖励的功能和分子机制尚不清楚。结果:我们提供了强有力的间接证据,支持真菌介导的植物-传粉者相互作用,在甲虫授粉的早分化被子植物中,Monoon laui (Annonaceae),它的花在柱头和内花瓣上产生渗出液,而在内花瓣上发育的真菌随后被昆虫幼虫消耗。传粉者和幼虫的特性以及传粉者和花瓣上的真菌群落表明,传粉者在花瓣上产卵时传播真菌。两种渗出液的营养价值表明,柱头渗出液富含糖,而内花瓣渗出液的氨基酸含量较高。两个器官及其渗出液的转录组学和蛋白质组学比较证实了营养状况,柱头上有更强的免疫反应。结论:褐花单花的柱头分泌物和花瓣花蜜都具有对传粉者的奖励作用,而花瓣及其花蜜在真菌介导的植物与传粉者的共生关系中起着至关重要的作用,因为它们可能密切适应传粉者的需求,为传粉者提供产卵场所和幼虫食物,从而在开花季节增加其种群规模,促进传粉成功。

Fungus-mediated plant-pollinator mutualism in Monoon laui (Annonaceae): functional differentiation of stigmatic exudate and petal nectar.

Background: Floral nectar typically functions as a pollinator reward in mutualistic flower-pollinator interactions, with this mutualism sometimes strengthened when plants provide the pollinators with brood sites and larval food as rewards. The functional and molecular mechanisms underpinning such rewards remain unclear.

Results: We present strong circumstantial evidence supporting a fungus-mediated plant-pollinator mutualism in a beetle-pollinated early-divergent angiosperm, Monoon laui (Annonaceae), which has flowers that produce exudates on both the stigmas and inner petals, with fungi that develop on the inner petals subsequently consumed by insect larvae. The identities of the pollinators and larvae, as well as the fungal communities borne on the pollinators and petals, indicate that the pollinators disperse fungi while ovipositing on the petals. The nutritional value of the two exudates reveals that the stigmatic exudate is sugar-rich, whereas the inner petal exudate has a greater amino acid content. Transcriptomic and proteomic comparisons between the two organs and their exudates corroborate the nutritional profiles, with a stronger immune response on stigmas.

Conclusions: Both stigmatic exudate and petal nectar of Monoon laui function as a pollinator reward, while petals with their nectar are moreover critical in the fungus-mediated plant-pollinator mutualism, as they are likely to be closely adapted to the requirements of the pollinators by providing them with brood sites and larval food, thereby increasing their population size during the flowering season and promoting pollination success.
