Project description:Due to the wide application of rare earth oxides nanoparticles in different fields, they will inevitably be released into the environment, and their potential toxicity and ecological risks in the environment have become a concern of people. Yttrium oxide nanoparticles are important members of rare earth oxides nanoparticles. The molecular mechanism of its influence on plant growth and development and plant response to them is unclear. In this study, we found that yttrium oxide nanoparticles above 2 mM significantly inhibited the growth of Arabidopsis seedlings. Using the Arabidopsis marker lines reflecting auxin signal, it was found that the treatment of yttrium oxide nanoparticles led to the disorder of auxin signal in root cells: the auxin signal in quiescent center cells and columella stem cells decreased; while the auxin signal in the stele cells was enhanced. In addition, trypan blue staining showed that yttrium oxide nanoparticles caused the death of root cells. Transcriptome sequencing analysis showed that yttrium oxide nanoparticles specifically inhibited the expression of lignin synthesis related genes, activated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, and enhanced ethylene and ABA signaling pathways in plants. This study revealed the phytotoxicity of yttrium oxide nanoparticles at the molecular level, and provided a new perspective at the molecular level for plants to respond to rare earth oxide stress.
Project description:In this study, we attempted to compare among the stress of Y2O3 nanoparticle and YCl3 to yeast cells. Yttrium oxide (Y2O3) nanoparticle is used in widespread applications. It has been reported that Y2O3 nanoparticle showed toxic activities. However, we assumed that the most important toxic factor of nanoparticles was metal ion release. We tried to prove the toxicity of yttrium nanoparticles comes from yttrium ion. Therefore, we used YCl3 as a positive control for evaluation of effects of yttrium ion.

Project description:The goal of this study is to compare the transcriptome (RNA-seq) modulations in the roots and shoots of Arabidopsis thaliana, as a plant model, exposed to two toxic concentrations of rare earth elements. Lanthanum and ytterbium were used as representative of light and heavy rare earth elements, respectively.
