Transcription profiling of Cd-induced nitric oxide synthesis in Arabidopsis


ABSTRACT: Cadmium treatment induces slow but long lasting nitric oxide production in plant tissues. This NO production can be suppressed using the commonly used Nitric Oxide Synthase inhibitor L-NAME. This inhibitor tends to partially alleviate Cd toxicity. This effect is correlated with a strong diminution of Cd content in roots of plants treated both with Cd and L-NAME compared to roots from plants treated with Cd only. The main goal of this study is the identification of transcriptionnal changes caused by Cd-induced nitric oxide, and that could potentially result in enhanced Cd root accumulation.

Nitric oxide contributes to cadmium toxicity in Arabidopsis by promoting cadmium accumulation in roots and by up-regulating genes related to iron uptake.

Nitric oxide (NO) functions as a cell-signaling molecule in plants. In particular, a role for NO in the regulation of iron homeostasis and in the plant response to toxic metals has been proposed. Here, we investigated the synthesis and the role of NO in plants exposed to cadmium (Cd(2+)), a nonessential and toxic metal. We demonstrate that Cd(2+) induces NO synthesis in roots and leaves of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) seedlings. This production, which is sensitive to NO synthase inhibitors  ...[more]
