Project description:Ice plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L.) is a halophyte and an inducible CAM plant. Ice plant seedlings exhibit moderate salt tolerance, with root growth unaffected by 200 mM NaCl treatments, while hypocotyl elongation is hindered in salt-stressed etiolated seedlings. Superoxide anion accumulation was prominent in cotyledons and primary leaves but decreased in root tissues over time but was not significantly affected by salt treatment. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) levels surged initially in both control and salt-treated seedlings, with higher and more persistent H2O2 levels in salt-treated seedlings, indicating salt-induced ROS accumulation, especially in etiolated seedlings. An RNA-seq analysis of etiolated seedlings revealed 6,326 unigenes (about 8%) showing more than a four-fold change in expression after a 6-h 200 mM NaCl treatment. The top GO terms for 4-fold upregulated DEGs in the Molecular Function category included “cation binding,” “metal ion binding,” “oxidoreductase activity,” “monooxygenase activity,” and “antioxidant activity.” The top GO terms for 4-fold down-regulated DEGs in the Biological Process category included “metabolic process”, “cellular metabolic process”, and “biosynthetic process”. Upregulated genes were primarily linked to ion transport and stress responses and downregulated genes to growth processes like ribosomal protein synthesis and cell wall formation. This indicates that salt stress hinders growth but enhances ion homeostasis and stress response mechanisms. For class III peroxidase family genes, 14 out of 53 identified transcripts met the criteria for differentially expressed genes. Quantitative RT-PCR confirmed that the expression of McPrx4.1, McPrx12.1, and McPrx12.3 increased, while the expression of McPrx60.3 decreased. We suggest distinct roles for individual class III peroxidase members in the trade-offs between plant growth and stress response. Unveiling these responses will advance our understanding of the growth–stress balance in the intrinsic salt tolerance in halophytes.
