■脱落酸(ABA)可以负向调节种子萌发,但ABA介导的代谢调节机制尚不清楚。此外,目前尚不清楚代谢途径是否随胚胎的不同组织部分而变化,比如胚根,下胚轴和子叶。
■在本报告中,我们在发芽过程中响应ABA处理,对红松种子中的胚根和下胚轴子叶进行了首次全面的代谢组分析。
■代谢组分析显示,ABA处理后,胚胎中67个显著差异积累的代谢物与嘧啶代谢密切相关,苯丙氨酸代谢,半胱氨酸和蛋氨酸代谢,半乳糖代谢,萜类骨架生物合成,和谷胱甘肽代谢。同时,下胚轴子叶中的62种代谢物主要参与甘油磷脂代谢和糖酵解/糖异生。我们可以得出结论,ABA可能主要通过破坏半胱氨酸和蛋氨酸代谢介导的某些植物激素的生物合成以及萜类骨架的生物合成来抑制红松种子萌发。以及降低谷胱甘肽代谢和莽草酸途径调节的胚根活性氧清除能力。由于甘油磷脂代谢的改变,ABA可能强烈破坏细胞膜的结构和功能。并削弱下胚轴子叶的糖酵解/糖异生,两者都是ABA介导的种子萌发抑制的主要贡献者。这些结果表明,红松种子中代谢途径的空间调节是对ABA的萌发反应的基础。
UNASSIGNED: Abscisic acid (ABA) can negatively regulate seed germination, but the mechanisms of ABA-mediated metabolism modulation are not well understood. Moreover, it remains unclear whether metabolic pathways vary with the different tissue parts of the embryo, such as the radicle, hypocotyl and
cotyledon.
UNASSIGNED: In this report, we performed the first comprehensive metabolome analysis of the radicle and hypocotyl +
cotyledon in Pinus koraiensis seeds in response to ABA treatment during germination.
UNASSIGNED: Metabolome profiling showed that following ABA treatment, 67 significantly differentially accumulated metabolites in the embryo were closely associated with pyrimidine metabolism, phenylalanine metabolism, cysteine and methionine metabolism, galactose metabolism, terpenoid backbone biosynthesis, and glutathione metabolism. Meanwhile, 62 metabolites in the hypocotyl +
cotyledon were primarily involved in glycerophospholipid metabolism and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis. We can conclude that ABA may inhibit Korean pine seed germination primarily by disrupting the biosynthesis of certain plant hormones mediated by cysteine and methionine metabolism and terpenoid backbone biosynthesis, as well as reducing the reactive oxygen species scavenging ability regulated by glutathione metabolism and shikimate pathway in radicle. ABA may strongly disrupt the structure and function of cellular membranes due to alterations in glycerophospholipid metabolism, and weaken glycolysis/gluconeogenesis in the hypocotyl +
cotyledon, both of which are major contributors to ABA-mediated inhibition of seed germination. These results highlight that the spatial modulation of metabolic pathways in Pinus koraiensis seeds underlies the germination response to ABA.
