Abstract
Lycium ruthenicum Murr. is one of the most important shrubs grown in northwest China. Healthy buds and leaves of L. ruthenicum Murr. were selected for the present study. Flower development was divided into six stages, namely, flower bud pre-differentiation (I), late flower differentiation (II), squaring stage (III), dew crown period (IV), open stage (V) and senescent stage (VI). Endogenous hormone content and specific value, soluble sugar, sucrose, starch, and soluble protein were measured, and ABA/IAA, ABA/GA3, ZR/IAA, ZR/GA3, and C/N were calculated in buds and leaves at stage VI. The results showed that ABA, GA3, and ZR content of buds significantly increased from flower bud pre-differentiation to late flower differentiation stage. However, ABA, GA3, and ZR content of leaves had the opposite change trend. From open stage to senescent stage, IAA, ABA, and GA3 content of buds and leaves significantly increased in L. ruthenicum Murr. However, ZR content of buds and leaves significantly decreased from open stage to senescent stage. ABA/IAA, ABA/GA3, ZR/IAA, and ZR/GA3 values of buds significantly increased from lower bud pre-differentiation to late flower differentiation stage. However, ABA/IAA, ABA/GA3, ZR/IAA, and ZR/GA3 values of leaves significantly decreased from lower bud pre-differentiation to late flower differentiation stage. ABA/IAA and ABA/GA3 of buds significantly increased from open stage to senescent stage, but ZR/IAA and ZR/GA3 of buds significantly decreased from open to senescent. At this stage, ABA/IAA, ABA/GA3, ZR/IAA, and ZR/GA3 significantly decreased in L. ruthenicum Murr. The higher soluble sugar and sucrose content in the buds and leaves were beneficial to the flower bud differentiation of L. ruthenicum. The increasing of soluble sugar improved the energy basis to florescence and senescent. The carbohydrates metabolism enhanced from open stage to senescent stage and nitrogen metabolism reduced from open stage to senescent stage of L. ruthenicum.

Phosphorus confers tolerance against manganese toxicity in Prunus persica by reducing oxidative stress and improving chloroplast ultrastructure. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 291:132999. [PMID: 34808198 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.132999] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2021] [Revised: 11/16/2021] [Accepted: 11/18/2021] [Indexed: 05/02/2023]
Abstract
In this study, we evaluated the mitigative role of phosphorus (P) in terms of manganese (Mn) toxicity in peach (Prunus persica L.) plants. Ten-day-old seedlings were treated with excess Mn (1 mM MnSO4) alone and in combination with different P levels (100, 150, 200 and 250 μM KH2PO4) in half-strength Hoagland medium. The results demonstrated that Mn toxicity plants accumulated a significant amount of Mn in their tissues, and the concentration was higher in roots than in leaves. The accumulated Mn led to a considerable reduction in plant biomass, water status, chlorophyll content, photosynthetic rate, and disrupted the chloroplast ultrastructure by increasing oxidative stress (H2O2 and O2•-). However, P supplementation dramatically improved plant biomass, leaf relative water and chlorophyll contents, upregulating the ascorbate-glutathione pool and increasing the activities of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase; peroxidase dismutase; ascorbate peroxidase; monodehydroascorbate reductase; dehydroascorbate reductase), thus reducing oxidative damage as evidenced by lowering H2O2 and O2•- staining intensity. Moreover, P application markedly restored stomatal aperture and improved chloroplast ultrastructure, as indicated by the improved performance of photosynthetic machinery. Altogether, our findings suggest that P (250 μM) has a great potential to induce tolerance against Mn toxicity by limiting Mn accumulation in tissues, upregulating antioxidant defense mechanisms, alleviating oxidative damage, improving chloroplast ultrastructure and photosynthetic performance in peach plants.

Impacts of manganese bio-based nanocomposites on phytochemical classification, growth and physiological responses of Hypericum perforatum L. shoot cultures. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2021; 209:111841. [PMID: 33387772 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2020.111841] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2020] [Revised: 11/19/2020] [Accepted: 12/19/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
We report a new green route for preparing MnO2/perlite nanocomposites (NCs) by leaf extract of Hypericum perforatum. Characterization of the physicochemical properties of the MnO2/perlite-NCs was performed using XRD, FESEM, EDX, FT-IR, and DLS techniques. Furthermore, their effects on the phytochemical classification and growth parameters of H. perforatum shoot cultures were assessed. According to the FESEM image, the synthesized spherical MnO2 nanoparticles on the sheet-like structure of nano-perlite were formed, ranging about 20-50 nm. In addition, based on the EDX spectra, the elemental analysis showed the presence of Carbon, Oxygen, Silicon, Aluminum, and Manganese elements in the as-synthesized MnO2/perlite-NCs. Biological studies confirmed that nano-perlite and MnO2/perlite-NCs were non-toxic to H. perforatum shoot cultures and showed positive effects on plant growth in specific concentrations. Overall, phytochemical classification demonstrated that the terpenoids decreased in the evaluated treatments, while hypericin and pseudohypericin were increased in some treatments (25, 50 and 150 mg/L of nano-perlite) relative to control. Metabolomics results suggested that both nano-perlite and MnO2/perlite-NCs can be used as elicitors and new nanofertilizers for generating some secondary metabolites.

Abstract
Manganese (Mn) uptake and toxicity in chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) and changes of phenolic metabolites in plants grown in the soil (1000 μM Mn2+) or hydroponic culture (100 or 1000 μM Mn2+) were studied. Under soil cultivation, Mn excess reduced growth and induced symptoms of oxidative stress (including total ROS, hydroxyl radical and lipid peroxidation as detected by fluorescence microscopy), concomitantly with depletion of non-protein thiols and ascorbic acid. Total soluble phenols and individual phenolic acids were rather depleted (p-coumaric, chlorogenic, and protocatechuic acids) or unaltered (vanillic and caffeic acids). Shoot Mn content reached 2806 μg/g DW with BAF 51.0 in the soil culture. In hydroponics, tetraploid plants contained less Mn in both shoots and roots than diploid ones with bioaccumulation factor and translocation factor (diploid/tetraploid) 57.1/37.9 and 0.39/0.32 in 1000 μM Mn treatment. Plants cultured in hydroponics revealed stimulation of some phenolic acids, mainly chlorogenic acid in the shoots and p-hydroxybenzoic and vanillic acids in the roots (more extensively in tetraploid ones which contained less Mn). Data indicate that excessive Mn accumulation has negative impact not only on the growth but also on phenolic metabolites in young plants mainly. Detailed comparison of the observed metabolic changes with limited literature focused on Mn physiology is provided as well.

J Trace Elem Med Biol 2018; 50:57-66.

Abstract
Production and accumulation of essential oils in plants are influenced by intrinsic and environmental factors. Here, we attempted to elucidate the effect of manganese (Mn) supply on the density of glandular trichomes and the production of essential oils in Mentha aquatica (water mint; syn. Mentha hirsuta Huds.) at the different growth stages. To this aim, plants were treated with 100 μM of Mn (supplied as MnSO4·H2O) at early and late vegetative stages of growth. Then, the control and treated plants were harvested, and biochemical, morphological and molecular analyses indicated that Mn supply has affected M. aquatica at the different growth stages. The biomass, Mn accumulation, glandular trichomes density, essential oils yield and expression levels of the genes encoding enzymes involved in terpenoid biosynthesis pathway (1-Deoxy d-xylulose-5-phosphate synthase (Dxs), geranyl diphosphate synthase (Gpps), isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase (Ippi), β-caryophyllene synthase (Cps), limonene synthase (Ls) and menthofuran synthase (Mfs)) were increased by Mn supply at both growth stages. However, the increased rates of the assayed parameters were varied between the early and late vegetative stages. Moreover, the content and chemical composition of terpenoid components were affected by Mn supply and plant growth stage. There were positive and weak correlations among the study variables under the Mn supply at the different growth stages. Given these findings, we propose that the application of Mn supply at both early and late vegetative stages elevates the growth, density of glandular trichomes and production of essential oils in M. aquatica.
