摘要
Aims Phytoremediation is an emerging strategy for the removal of heavy metal contaminants. However, one of the prerequisite is to understand adequately plant resistant mechanisms. The present study was performed to assess the role of endogenous SA in plant response to Pb or Cd using wild-type (wt) Arabidopsis and its SA-accumulating mutant snc1 , SA-reducing transgenic line nahG , SA signal-blocking npr1-1 , and snc1/nahG (i.e. expression of nahG in snc1 plant) with a comparable level of SA to the wt. Methods Plants were grown hydroponically in controlled conditions. For heavy metal exposure, Pb 2+ or Cd 2+ at final concentrations of 50 μM, 100 μM, and 150 μM, respectively, was added to the culture solution. Unless otherwise indicated, samples were harvested after 7 d of exposure, and used for analyses. Results Compared to the wt level, the high endogenous SA significantly potentiated Pb- and Cd-induced plant growth retardation, whereas SA deficiency decreased the growth inhibition, and SA signaling blockage also had some protective effect. The expression of nahG in snc1 plant mitigated effectively the growth inhibition. The SA-related mechanism was involved in redox homeostasis, photosynthetic process, and soluble matter accumulation. Conclusions These results suggest that Pb- or Cd-induced phytotoxicity in Arabidopsis was intensified by elevated endogenous SA, whereas ameliorated by reduced SA.
