Reprisal of Schima superba to Mn stress and exploration of its defense mechanism through transcriptomic analysis.

One of the most diverse protein families, ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, play a role in disease resistance, heavy metal tolerance, and food absorption.Differentially expressed genes contribute in the investigation of plant defense mechanisms under varying stress conditions. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms involved in Mn metal stress, we performed a transcriptomic analysis to explore the differential gene expression in with the comparison of control. A total of 79.84 G clean data was generated and 6558 DEGs were identified in response to Mn metal stress. Differentially expressed genes were found to be involved in defense, signaling pathways, oxidative burst, transcription factors and stress responses. Genes important in metal transport were more expressive in Mn stress than control plants. The investigation of -acting regions in the ABC family indicated that these genes might be targeted by a large variety of trans-acting elements to control a variety of stress circumstances. Moreover, genes involved in defense responses, the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling and signal transduction in were highly induced in Mn stress. Twenty ABC transporters were variably expressed on 1st, 5th, and 10th day of Mn treatment, according to the qRT PCR data. Inclusively, our findings provide an indispensable foundation for an advanced understanding of the metal resistance mechanisms. Our study will enrich the sequence information of in a public database and would provide a new understanding of the molecular mechanisms of heavy metal tolerance and detoxification.
