The geomagnetic field (GMF) is a natural component of Earth's biosphere. GMF reduction to near-null values (NNMF) induces gene expression modulation that generates biomolecular, morphological, and developmental changes. Here, we evaluate the effect of NNMF on gene expression and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in time-course experiments on . Plants exposed to NNMF in a triaxial Helmholtz coils system were sampled from 10 min to 96 h to evaluate differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of oxidative stress responses by gene microarray. In 24-96 h developing stages, HO and polyphenols were also analyzed from roots and shoots. A total of 194 DEGs involved in oxidative reactions were selected, many of which showed a fold change ≥±2 in at least one timing point. Heatmap clustering showed DEGs both between roots/shoots and among the different time points. NNMF induced a lower HO than GMF, in agreement with the expression of ROS-related genes. Forty-four polyphenols were identified, the content of which progressively decreased during NNMF exposition time. The comparison between polyphenols content and DEGs showed overlapping patterns. These results indicate that GMF reduction induces metabolomic and transcriptomic modulation of ROS-scavenging enzymes and HO production in , which is paralleled by the regulation of antioxidant polyphenols.
地磁场(GMF)是地球生物圈的一个自然组成部分。GMF 降至接近零值(NNMF)会引起基因表达的调节,从而产生生物分子、形态和发育变化。在这里,我们通过基因芯片评估了 NNMF 对. 植物在三轴亥姆霍兹线圈系统中暴露于 NNMF 时的基因表达和活性氧(ROS)产生的时间过程实验的影响。从 10 分钟到 96 小时对植物进行采样,以评估氧化应激反应的差异表达基因(DEGs)。在 24-96 小时的发育阶段,还从根和茎中分析了 HO 和多酚。选择了总共 194 个涉及氧化反应的 DEGs,其中许多基因在至少一个时间点的倍数变化≥±2。热图聚类显示了根/茎之间以及不同时间点之间的 DEGs。NNMF 诱导的 HO 低于 GMF,与 ROS 相关基因的表达一致。鉴定出 44 种多酚,其含量在 NNMF 暴露时间内逐渐降低。多酚含量和 DEGs 的比较显示出重叠模式。这些结果表明,GMF 降低会诱导. 中 ROS 清除酶和 HO 产生的代谢组学和转录组学调节,这与抗氧化多酚的调节是平行的。
