Using oryzalin as an antimitotic agent, we have systematically investigated different genotypic lines, under both in vitro and ex vitro conditions. Amid cases of reduced gene expression in certain lines, results showed a significant upregulation in specific lines, particularly in genotypes 16, 54, and 74. Genotype 54 showed an exceptional response, manifesting a statistically significant upregulation in all investigated genes studied under in vitro conditions (i.e. <i>AmPAL</i>, <i>AmC4H</i> and <i>AmI3</i>′<i>H</i>). Interestingly, even under ex vitro conditions after two years of greenhouse cultivation, certain lines showed significant variations in gene expression. The genotype 16, although no longer tetraploid, exhibited the highest expression levels among the examined genotypes, with statistically significant upregulation of both the <i>AmPAL</i> and <i>AmC4H</i> genes. In addition, the induced autotetraploid genotype 74 showed a significant upregulation of the <i>AmI3′H</i> gene and a concomitant downregulation of the <i>AmC4H</i> gene. These results highlight the complex regulatory mechanisms affected by the polyploidisation of <i>A. membranaceus</i> and provide promising avenues for manipulating gene expression to enhance the production of pharmacologically significant compounds.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Key message</h3><p>This study investigates the effects of artificial polyploidisation on gene expression of <i>Astragalus membranaceus</i>, suggesting diverse regulatory influences for potential plant bioactive compound production.</p>","PeriodicalId":20219,"journal":{"name":"Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141503383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates how <i>Bambusa balcooa’</i>s in vitro growth, photosynthetic pigment content, and antioxidant capacity were affected by citrate- and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide-coated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Further, to unravel the regulatory mechanism underlying gold nano-elicitation and in vitro plant behavior, we conducted RNA sequencing of non-treated control, 400 µM citrate-AuNPs-treated, and 600 µM CTAB-AuNPs-treated plantlets. Numerous morphological, physiological, and biochemical parameters were observed to be variably impacted along the citrate- and CTAB-coated AuNPs concentration gradient (200–600 µM). <i>B. balcooa in vitro</i> shoots supplemented with Murashige and Skoog medium enriched with 6-benzylaminopurine, naphthaleneacetic acid, and 400 µM citrate-AuNPs displayed statistically significant shoot proliferation, photosynthetic pigment accumulation, and antioxidant activities. Contrarily, a decline in growth parameters was observed in MS media supplemented with BAP, NAA, and 600 µM CTAB-AuNPs. Transcriptome profiling revealed various differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and metabolic pathways associated with nano-elicitation and plant growth. Furthermore, identifying genes (such as <i>Glyoxalase</i>, <i>Expansin</i>, and <i>ZAT</i>) governing in vitro proliferation and oxidative stress responses could enhance our understanding of the mechanisms underlying AuNPs’ ability to modulate various physiological and biochemical activities during micropropagation. Therefore, gene ontology (GO) enrichment, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis, and the exploration of DEGs involved in the in vitro modulations regulated by AuNPs offer novel insights into the molecular mechanisms governing nano-elicited plant organogenesis more comprehensively.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000","PeriodicalId":20219,"journal":{"name":"Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141503386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
