To identify key regulatory genes involved in ROS scavenging in response to cadmium (Cd) exposure in pak choi, eight cDNA libraries from Cd-treated and Cd-free roots of two cultivars, Baiyewuyueman (high Cd accumulator) and Kuishan'aijiaoheiye (low Cd accumulator), were firstly performed by RNA-sequencing. Totally 0.443 billion clean reads and 244,190 unigenes were obtained from eight transcriptome. About 797 and 1167 unigenes encoding ROS related proteins and transcription factors were identified. Of them, 11 and 16 ROS scavenging system related DEGs, and 29 and 15 transcription factors related DEGs were found in Baiyewuyueman and Kuishan'aijiaoheiye, respectively. Ten ROS-scavenging genes (Cu/Zn-SOD, GST1, PODs, TrxR2, PrxR, FER3 and NDPK) showed higher expression levels in Cd-exposed seedings of Baiyewuyueman than those of Kuishan'aijiaoheiye. Four genes (GPX, APX, GRX and GST3) specifically expressed in Cd-free roots of Kuishan'aijiaoheiye. For transcription factors, ERF12/13/22 and WRKY31 was up-regulated by Cd in Baiyewuyueman, while in Kuishan'aijiaoheiye, Cd induced down-regulations of bZIP, NAC and ZFP families. The results indicate that the two cultivars differed in the mechanism of ROS scavenging in response to Cd stress. Fe SOD1, POD A2/44/54/62 and GST1 may be responsible for the difference of Cd tolerance between Baiyewuyueman and Kuishan'aijiaoheiye.
为了鉴定白菜响应镉胁迫时参与活性氧(ROS)清除的关键调控基因,本研究首先通过 RNA 测序构建了两个品种(镉高积累品种白优 5 号和镉低积累品种快山矮脚黄)镉处理和无镉根的 8 个 cDNA 文库。从 8 个转录组中共获得 0.443 亿条清洁reads 和 244190 个 unigenes。鉴定出约 797 个和 1167 个编码 ROS 相关蛋白和转录因子的 unigenes。其中,在白优 5 号和快山矮脚黄中分别发现了 11 个和 16 个 ROS 清除系统相关的差异表达基因(DEGs),以及 29 个和 15 个转录因子相关的 DEGs。10 个 ROS 清除基因(Cu/Zn-SOD、GST1、PODs、TrxR2、PrxR、FER3 和 NDPK)在镉暴露的白优 5 号种子中的表达水平高于快山矮脚黄。4 个基因(GPX、APX、GRX 和 GST3)在无镉处理的快山矮脚黄根中特异性表达。对于转录因子,ERF12/13/22 和 WRKY31 在白优 5 号中被 Cd 诱导上调,而在快山矮脚黄中,Cd 诱导 bZIP、NAC 和 ZFP 家族下调。研究结果表明,两个品种在响应 Cd 胁迫时 ROS 清除的机制存在差异。Fe-SOD1、POD A2/44/54/62 和 GST1 可能是白优 5 号和快山矮脚黄镉耐性差异的原因。
