Project description:The contamination of agricultural soil by heavy metal cadmium (Cd) poses a significant environmental challenge, affecting crop growth, development and, human health. Previous studies have established the pivotal role of the ZmHMA3 gene, a P-type ATPase heavy metal transporter, in determining variable Cd accumulation in maize grains among 513 inbred lines. To decipher the molecular mechanism underlying mutation-induced phenotypic differences mediated by ZmHMA3, we conducted a quantitative Tandem Mass Tag (TMT)-based proteomic analysis of immature maize kernels. This analysis aimed to identify differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in wild-type B73 and zmhma3 null mutant under Cd stress. The findings demonstrated that zhma3 accumulated higher levels of Cd compared to B73 when exposed to varying Cd concentrations in the soil. In comparison to low Cd concentration soil, B73 and zmhma3 exhibited 75 and 142 DEPs, respectively, with 24 common DEPs shared between them. Zmhma3 showed a higher induction of upregulated genes related to Cd stres than B73. Amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism were specifically enriched in B73, while phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, nitrogen metabolism, and glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism appeared to play a more significant role in zmhma3. This study provides proteomics insights into unraveling the molecular mechanism underlying the differences in Cd accumulation in maize kernel.

Project description:The main objective of this work was to evaluate the toxicity of Cd, in different genotypes of T. cacao, in scion-rootstock combinations (CCN 51-BN 34, CCN 51-PS 1319, CCN 51-PH 16, CCN 51-CCN 51), grown in soil with 150 mg Cd kg-1 soil, together with the control treatment (without addition of Cd in the soil), through proteomic profile, aiming to elucidate the influence of the scion-rootstock interaction on differential uptake and accumulation of Cd in roots and leaves.

Project description:In this study, blueberry transcriptomics and rhizosphere fungal diversity were analyzed by simulated potting method to treat blueberries with Cd stress, and the content of Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn and Cd in each tissue, soil and DGT of blueberries were determined. , Combined with transcriptomics for correlation analysis. A total of 84374 annotated genes were obtained in blueberry roots, stems, leaves and fruits, of which 3370 DEGs were found, and DEGs in the stem accounted for the highest proportion, totaling 2521. The annotation results show that these DEGs are mainly concentrated in a series of metabolic pathways related to signal transduction, defense and pathogenic response. Blueberries transfer excess Cd from the root to the stem for storage. The stem contains the highest Cd content, which is consistent with the transcriptomics analysis results, while the fruit contains the lowest Cd content. Correlation analysis between heavy metal content and transcriptomics results in each tissue was carried out, and a series of genes related to Cd regulation were screened. The blueberry root system relies on mycorrhiza to absorb nutrients in the soil. The intervention of Cd has severely affected the microflora structure of the blueberry rhizosphere soil. Coniochaetaceae, which is extremely tolerant, has gradually become the dominant population.

Project description:For environmental safety, the high concentration of heavy metals in the soil should be removed. Cadmium (Cd), one of the heavy metals polluting the soil while its concentration exceeds 3.4 mg/kg in soil. Potential use of cotton for remediating heavy Cd-polluted soils is available while its molecular mechanisms of Cd tolerance remains unclear in cotton. In this study, transcriptome analysis was used to identify the Cd tolerance genes and their potential mechanism in cotton. Finally 4,627 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the root, 3,022 DEGs in the stem and 3,854 DEGs in leaves were identified through RNA-Seq analysis, respectively. These genes contained heavy metal transporter genes (ABC, CDF, HMA, etc.), annexin genes, heat shock genes (HSP) amongst others. Gene ontology (GO) analysis showed that the DEGs were mainly involved in the oxidation-reduction process and metal ion binding. The DEGs mainly enriched in two pathways, the influenza A and the pyruvate pathway. GhHMAD5 protein, containing a heavy-metal domain, was identified in the pathway to transport or to detoxify the heavy ion. GhHMAD5-overexpressed plants of Arabidopsis thaliana showed the longer roots compared with the control. Meanwhile, GhHMAD5-silenced cotton plants showed more sensitive to Cd stress compared with the control. The results indicated that GhHMAD5 gene is remarkably involved in Cd tolerance, which gives us a preliminary understanding of Cd tolerance mechanisms in upland cotton. Overall, this study provides valuable information for the use of cotton to remediate the soil polluted with heavy metals.

Project description:Phytoremediation soil polluted by heavy metal has been drawn on a worldwide attention from human society. However, how to improve the efficiency of plant remediation of soil contaminated by cadmium remains unknown. Previous studies showed that nitrogen (N) significantly enhanced cadmium uptake in poplar plants. In order to further explore the key role of N in the detoxification against cadmium stress in plants, this study try to investigate the poplar proteome and phosphoproteome difference between Cd stress and Cd+N treatment. In total, 5838 of the 6573 identified were quantified. With a fold-change threshold >1.3 and p-value<0.05, 375 and 108 proteins were up- and down-regulated by Cd stress when compared to the control, 42 and 89 proteins were up- and down-regulated, respectively, in Cd+N / Cd group, 522 and 127 proteins were up- and down-regulated, respectively, in Cd+N / CK group. In addition, the phosphoproteome data was obtained after the proteomic difference was normalized, and 1471phosphosites in 721 proteins were quantified. Based on a fold-change threshold >1.2, P-value <0.05, the Cd stress up-regulated 8 phosphosites in 8 proteins and down-regulated 69 phosphosites in 58 proteins, whereas N+Cd treatment up-regulated 95 phosphosites in 86 proteins and down-regulated 17 phosphosites in 17 proteins when compared to sole Cd stress. In addition, N+Cd treatment up-regulated 74 phosphosites in 60 proteins and down-regulated 42 phosphosites in 37 proteins when compared to the control.Several putative responses to stress proteins, transcriptional and translational regulation factors were up-regulated by addition ofexogenous nitrogen followed Cd stress at the proteome and phosphoproteome levels. Especially, heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), peroxidase (POD), zinc finger protein (ZFP), ABC transporter protein (ABC), eukaryotic translation initiation factor (elF) and splicing factor 3B subunit 1-like (SF3BI) were up-regulated by Cd+N treatment whether at the proteome or at the phosphoproteome levels, which was need to further study. In a word, taken together of proteome and phosphoproteome data, nitrogen serves a protective role in plants treated with Cd by multiple ways.

Project description:The Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua rhizomes (Rhizoma Polygonati, RP) are consumed for health benefits. The main source of the RP is wild P. cyrtonema populations in the Hunan province of China. However, the soil Cadmium (Cd) content in Huanan is increasing, thus increasing the risks of Cd accumulation in RP and ending up in the human food chain. We subjected different levels of Cd stress to study the protein regulation mechanism under cadmium stress of P. cyrtonema.
