ABSTRACT
Celosia argentea is a manganese (Mn) hyperaccumulator with high ornamental value and strong stress resistance. It is important to understand the molecular mechanism of tolerance to heavy metals of hyperaccumulators to improve the efficiency of phytoremediation. In this study, the effects of different Mn concentrations (0, 0.8, 3, and 10 mM) on physiological characteristics and molecular changes were determined. Low concentrations of Mn increased the growth of C. argentea, while high concentrations of Mn suppressed its growth, A concentration up to 3 mM did not affect the growth of C. argentea, and the highest transfer factor (TF) was 6.16. Oxidative damage of different Mn level treatments in C. argentea was verified through relative water content, electrolyte leakage, MDA content, H2O2 content and superoxide contents. With an increase in Mn concentration, the contents of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids decreased. Our results indicated that low-concentration manganese treatment can reduce the reactive oxygen burst and MDA, soluble sugar and proline, making C. argentea have strong abiotic stress tolerance. The molecular mechanism of C. argentea after 10 mM Mn treatment was analysed through transcriptome analysis, and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in these pathways were further verified by qRTPCR. Plantpathogen interactions, plant hormone signal transduction, the MAPK signalling pathway and the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway were important in the response to Mn stress, and the heavy metal-associated isoprenylated plant protein, metal transporter Nramp, and zinc transporter play key roles in the strong ability of C. argentea to tolerate heavy metals. These results suggest that C. argentea exhibits strong manganese tolerance and provide new insight into the molecular mechanisms of plant responses to heavy metal stress.
