Variations in Physiology and Multiple Bioactive Constituents under Salt Stress Provide Insight into the Quality Evaluation of Apocyni Veneti Folium.

ABSTRACT: As one of the major abiotic stresses, salinity stress may affect the physiology and biochemical components of Apocynum venetum L. To systematically evaluate the quality of Apocyni Veneti Folium (AVF) from the perspective of physiological and the wide variety of bioactive components response to various concentrations of salt stress, this experiment was arranged on the basis of ultra-fast liquid chromatography tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (UFLC-QTRAP-MS/MS) technology and multivariate statistical analysis. Physiological characteristics of photosynthetic pigments, osmotic homeostasis, lipid peroxidation product, and antioxidative enzymes were introduced to investigate the salt tolerance mechanism of AVF under salinity treatments of four concentrations (0, 100, 200, and 300 mM NaCl, respectively). Furthermore, a total of 43 bioactive constituents, including 14 amino acids, nine nucleosides, six organic acids, and 14 flavonoids were quantified in AVF under salt stress. In addition, multivariate statistical analysis, including hierarchical clustering analysis, principal component analysis (PCA), and gray relational analysis (GRA) was employed to systematically cluster, distinguish, and evaluate the samples, respectively. Compared with the control, the results demonstrated that 200 mM and 100 mM salt stress contributed to maintain high quality of photosynthesis, osmotic balance, antioxidant enzyme activity, and the accumulation of metabolites, except for total organic acids, and the quality of AVF obtained by these two groups was better than others; however, under severe stress, the accumulation of the oxidative damage and the reduction of metabolite caused by inefficiently scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) lead to lower quality. In summary, the proposed method may provide integrated information for the quality evaluation of AVF and other salt-tolerant Chinese medicines.

Project description:Soil salinization poses a serious threat to the ecological environment and agricultural production and is one of the most common abiotic stresses in global agricultural production. As a salt-sensitive plant, the growth, development, and production of bananas (Musa acuminata L.) are restricted by salt stress. Melatonin is known to improve the resistance of plants to stress. The study analyzed the effects of 100 μM melatonin on physiological and transcriptome changes in banana varieties (AAA group cv. Cavendish) under 60 mmol/l of NaCl salt stress situation. The phenotypic results showed that the application of exogenous melatonin could maintain banana plants' health growth and alleviate the damage caused by salt stress. The physiological data show that the application of exogenous melatonin can enhance salt tolerance of banana seedlings by increasing the content of proline content and soluble protein, slowing down the degradation of chlorophyll, reducing membrane permeability and recovery of relative water content, increasing the accumulation of MDA, and enhancing antioxidant defense activity. Transcriptome sequencing showed that melatonin-induced salt tolerance of banana seedlings involved biological processes, molecular functions, and cellular components. We also found that differentially expressed genes (DEGs) are involved in a variety of metabolic pathways, including amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism, phenylalanine metabolism, cyanoamino acid metabolism, starch and sucrose metabolism, and linoleic acid metabolism. These major metabolism and biosynthesis may be involved in the potential mechanism of melatonin under salt stress. Furthermore, some members of the transcription factor family, such as MYB, NAC, bHLH, and WRKY, might contribute to melatonin alleviating salt stress tolerance of the banana plant. The result laid a basis for further clarifying the salt stress resistance mechanism of bananas mediated by exogenous melatonin and provides theoretical bases to utilize melatonin to improve banana salt tolerance in the future.
