A new glucosyltransferase UGT78 from Iris sanguinea is a putative negative regulator in cadmium stress response
Urbanization has resulted in a significant degra-dation of soil quality,subjecting plants to persistent abiotic stressors such as heavy metal pollution,salinization,and drought.UDP-glycosyltransferases(UGTs)participate in protein glycosylation,secondary metabolite synthesis,and detoxification of exogenous toxic substances.Iris sanguinea Donn ex Hornem exhibits a high degree of resistance to various abiotic stressors.To enhance the plant's response to adversity,a novel glycosyltransferase belonging to the UGT78 family,encoding flavonoid 3-O-glucosyltransferase(UF3GT),was cloned from the monocot species I.san-guinea.Compared with the control group,overexpression of IsUGT78 enhanced sensitivity to cadmium stress,while showing no significant impact under NaCl and d-sorbitol treatments.Under cadmium treatment,arabidopsis exoge-nously transformed with the IsUGT78 gene possessed lower germination,fresh weight,root length,and chlorophyll con-tent and increased malondialdehyde content than the wild type arabidopsis.In addition,metabolomics in leaves led to the identification of 299 flavonoid metabolites,eight and 127 which were significantly up-and down-regulated,respec-tively,in the transgenic plants.Of note,all eight upregulated flavonoid compounds were glycosylated.Given that arabi-dopsis,which exogenously expresses the IsUGT78 gene,has reduced resistance to cadmium,IsUGT78 may lead to a reduced ability to cope with cadmium stress.
