ABSTRACT
Arsenate (AsV) is one of the most common forms of arsenic (As) in environment and plant high-affinity phosphate transporters (PHT1s) are the primary plant AsV transporters. However, few PHT1s involved in AsV absorption have been identified in crops. In our previous study, TaPHT1;3, TaPHT1;6 and TaPHT1;9 were identified to function in phosphate absorption. Here, their AsV absorption capacities were evaluated using several experiments. Ectopic expression in yeast mutants indicated that TaPHT1;9 had the highest AsV absorption rates, followed by TaPHT1;6, while not for TaPHT1;3. Under AsV stress, further, BSMV-VIGS-mediated TaPHT1;9-silencing wheat plants exhibited higher AsV tolerance and lower As concentrations than TaPHT1;6-silenced plants, whereas TaPHT1;3-silencing plants had similar phenotype and AsV concentrations to control. These suggested that TaPHT1;9 and TaPHT1;6 possessed AsV absorption capacity with the former showing higher activities. Under hydroponic condition, furthermore, CRISPR-edited TaPHT1;9 wheat mutants showed the enhanced tolerance to AsV with decreased As distributions and concentrations, whereas TaPHT1;9 ectopic expression transgenic rice plants had the opposite results. Also, under AsV-contaminated soil condition, TaPHT1;9 transgenic rice plants exhibited depressed AsV tolerance with increased As concentrations in roots, straws and grains. Moreover, Pi addition alleviated the AsV toxicity. These suggested that TaPHT1;9 should be a candidate target gene for AsV phytoremediation.
