| Project Title: | Metabolic responses of Amaranthus caudatus roots and leaves to zinc stress |
| Project Type: | GCMS-based untargeted and targeted analysis |
| Project Summary: | During the last decades pollution with heavy metals became an important stress factor. Plants are characterized by significant biochemical plasticity and can adjust their metabolism to ensure survival under changing environmental conditions. In the most straightforward way these metabolic shifts can be addressed by the untargeted mass spectrometry-based metabolomics approach. However, so far this methodology was only minimally employed in studies of Zn-induced metabolic shifts in plants. Moreover, the genus Amaranthus is still not addressed in this respect. Therefore, here we propose, to the best of our knowledge, the first gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)-based metabolomics study of Zn2+-induced stress responses in Amaranthus caudatus plants. The GC-MS-based study was performed with root and leaf aqueous methanolic extracts after their lyophylization and sequential derivatization with methoxylamine hydrochloride and N-trimethylsilyl-N-methyl trifluoroacetamide. Thereby, 419 derivatives were detected, of which 144 could be putatively annotated. The metabolic shifts in seven-week old A.caudatus plants in response to a seven-day treatment with 300 µmol/L ZnSO4·7H2O in nutrient solution were organ-specific and more pronounced in roots. The most of the responsive metabolites were up-regulated and dominated with sugars and sugar acids. These effects could be attributed to the involvement of these metabolites in osmoregulation, ROS scavenging and complexation of Zn2+ ions. Galactose was the most Zn2+-responsive root sugar that indicated its possible role in the binding of Zn2+ ions to the root cell walls. A 59-fold up-regulation of gluconic acid in roots clearly indicated its involvement in chelation of Zn2+. A high Zn2+–induced up-regulation of salicylic acid in roots and shoots suggested a key role of this hormone in the activation of Zn2+ stress tolerance mechanisms. Thus, our study provides the first insight in the general trends in Zn-induced biochemical rearrangements and main adaptive metabolic shifts in A. caudatus plants. |
