Transcriptome analysis of Phytolacca americana L. in response to cadmium stress.

Project description:Phytolacca americana L. (pokeweed) has metal phytoremediation potential, but little is known about its metal accumulation-related genes. In this study, the de novo sequencing of total RNA produced 53.15 million reads covering 10.63 gigabases of transcriptome raw data in cadmium (Cd)-treated and untreated pokeweed. Of the 97,502 assembled unigenes, 42,197 had significant matches in a public database and were annotated accordingly. An expression level comparison between the samples revealed 1515 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), 923 down- and 592 up-regulated under Cd treatment. A KEGG pathway enrichment analysis of DEGs revealed that they were involved in 72 metabolism pathways, with photosynthesis, phenylalanine metabolism, ribosome, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, flavonoid biosynthesis and carbon fixation in photosynthetic organisms containing 24, 18, 72, 14, 7 and 15 genes, respectively. Genes related to heavy metal tolerance, absorption, transport and accumulation were also identified, including 11 expansins, 8 nicotianamine synthases, 6 aquaporins, 4 ZRT/IRT-like proteins, 3 ABC transporters and 3 metallothioneins. The gene expression results of 12 randomly selected DEGs were validated using quantitative real-time PCR, and showed different response patterns to Cd in their roots, stems and leaves. These results may be helpful in increasing our understanding of heavy metal hyperaccumulators and in future phytoremediation applications.

Comparative transcriptome analysis of the hyperaccumulator plant <i>Phytolacca americana</i> in response to cadmium stress.

Project description:To study the molecular mechanism of the hyperaccumulator plant Phytolacca americana against cadmium (Cd) stress, the leaves of P. americana treated with 400 μM Cd for 0, 2, 12, and 24 h were harvested for comparative transcriptome analysis. In total, 110.07 Gb of clean data were obtained, and 63,957 unigenes were acquired after being assembled. Due to the lack of P. americana genome information, only 24,517 unigenes were annotated by public databases. After Cd treatment, 5054 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis of DEGs showed that genes involved in the flavonoid biosynthesis and antenna proteins of photosynthesis were significantly down-regulated, while genes related to the lignin biosynthesis pathway were remarkably up-regulated, indicating that P. americana could synthesize more lignin to cope with Cd stress. Moreover, genes related to heavy metal accumulation, sulfur metabolism and glutathione metabolism were also significantly up-regulated. The gene expression pattern of several key genes related to distinct metabolic pathways was verified by qRT-PCR. The results indicated that the immobilization of lignin in cell wall, chelation, vacuolar compartmentalization, as well as the increase of thiol compounds content may be the important mechanisms of Cd detoxification in hyperaccumulator plant P. americana. Accession numbers: the raw data of P. americana transcriptome presented in this study are openly available in NCBI SRA database, under the BioProject of PRJNA649785.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13205-021-02865-x.

Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Novel Insights into the Hyperaccumulator <i>Phytolacca acinosa</i> Roxb. Responses to Cadmium Stress.

Project description:Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic heavy metal that causes serious damage to plant and human health. Phytolacca acinosa Roxb. has a large amount of aboveground biomass and a rapid growth rate, and it has been identified as a novel type of Cd hyperaccumulator that can be harnessed for phytoremediation. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the response of P. acinosa to Cd2+ stress remain largely unclear. In this study, the phenotype, biochemical, and physiological traits of P. acinosa seeds and seedlings were analyzed under different concentrations of Cd2+ treatments. The results showed higher Cd2+ tolerance of P. acinosa compared to common plants. Meanwhile, the Cd2+ content in shoots reached 449 mg/kg under 10 mg/L Cd2+ treatment, which was obviously higher than the threshold for Cd hyperaccumulators. To investigate the molecular mechanism underlying the adaptability of P. acinosa to Cd stress, RNA-Seq was used to examine transcriptional responses of P. acinosa to Cd stress. Transcriptome analysis found that 61 genes encoding TFs, 48 cell wall-related genes, 35 secondary metabolism-related genes, 133 membrane proteins and ion transporters, and 96 defense system-related genes were differentially expressed under Cd2+ stress, indicating that a series of genes were involved in Cd2+ stress, forming a complex signaling regulatory mechanism. These results provide new scientific evidence for elucidating the regulatory mechanisms of P. acinosa response to Cd2+ stress and new clues for the molecular breeding of heavy metal phytoremediation.
