Intracellular Mn mobility and differential response to H2O2 accumulation explain the susceptibility of litchi cultivars to dark pericarp disease
Dark pericarp disease (DPD) in litchi is a physiological disease caused by excess manganese (Mn) in pericarp, impacting fruit appearance and marketability and leading to substantial economic loss. The susceptibility of litchi varieties to DPD differs greatly, but the underlying mechanisms remain vague. In this study, we investigated the discrepancies in physiological and biochemical processes in pericarp of two varieties (Feizixiao and Heiye) resistant to DPD and a susceptible cultivar (Guiwei) during fruit development from the same orchard. Pericarp Mn in Guiwei was significantly lower than that in Feizixiao and slightly higher than that in Heiye through fruit growth. Under Mn stress, Feizixiao and Heiye maintained ROS homeostasis, whereas substantial H2O2 accumulated in Guiwei. Reduced anthocyanins and soluble sugars and increased lignin were observed in diseased Guiwei compared to Feizixiao and Heiye. The expression of genes encoding Mn transporters, light-harvesting antenna complex, ROS scavenging proteins and enzymes involved in anthocyanin synthesis was downregulated, whereas that of genes functioning in H2O2 production and lignin synthesis was upregulated in Guiwei, and that of genes involved in glucose metabolism was altered, suggesting that Mn was poorly transported and sequestrated within Guiwei pericarp cells, and excess Mn boosted H2O2 overproduction. The inhibited anthocyanin synthesis, enhanced lignin accumulation and tuned sugar metabolism conferred Guiwei adaptability to Mn stress. Conclusively, the poor Mn intracellular transferability and variations in response to H2O2 accumulation associated with disturbed photosynthetic energy deliver under excess Mn, are collaboratively responsible for the cultivar-dependent DPD vulnerability in litchi.
期刊介绍:
Plant Physiology and Biochemistry publishes original theoretical, experimental and technical contributions in the various fields of plant physiology (biochemistry, physiology, structure, genetics, plant-microbe interactions, etc.) at diverse levels of integration (molecular, subcellular, cellular, organ, whole plant, environmental). Opinions expressed in the journal are the sole responsibility of the authors and publication does not imply the editors'' agreement.
Manuscripts describing molecular-genetic and/or gene expression data that are not integrated with biochemical analysis and/or actual measurements of plant physiological processes are not suitable for PPB. Also "Omics" studies (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc.) reporting descriptive analysis without an element of functional validation assays, will not be considered. Similarly, applied agronomic or phytochemical studies that generate no new, fundamental insights in plant physiological and/or biochemical processes are not suitable for publication in PPB.
Plant Physiology and Biochemistry publishes several types of articles: Reviews, Papers and Short Papers. Articles for Reviews are either invited by the editor or proposed by the authors for the editor''s prior agreement. Reviews should not exceed 40 typewritten pages and Short Papers no more than approximately 8 typewritten pages. The fundamental character of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry remains that of a journal for original results.
