The study investigates the effect of exogenous Se application on the toxicity of Sb(III) and Sb(V) in rice seedlings. It is found that Se can alleviate the adverse effects of Sb by improving plant growth, antioxidant system, Sb uptake and distribution, and gene expression.
Selenium (Se) has been used to detoxify various heavy metals in plants. However, the effects and underlying mechanisms of exogenous Se application on the toxicity of antimonite [Sb(III)] and antimonate [Sb(V)] in crops are still poorly understood. Therefore, the potential alleviating roles of Se on the plant growth, antioxidant system, uptake and subcellular distribution of Sb, and expression of Sb-related genes were comprehensively investigated in rice seedlings (Oryza sativa L.) under both Sb(III) and Sb(V) stress conditions. The results showed that high concentrations of Sb(III) (100 & mu;M) and Sb(V) (300 & mu;M) caused a significant decrease in plant growth parameters, photosynthetic pigments and relative water content in rice seedlings. In contrast, the addition of Se (20 or 2 & mu;M) improved rice growth, decreased Sb accumulation, and reduced oxidative stress in rice seedlings when exposed to 100 & mu;M Sb(III) and 300 & mu;M Sb(V), respectively. Furthermore, Se application could effectively improve the physiological adaptability of rice seedlings under Sb(III) and Sb(V) stress by regulating enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant systems, Sb subcellular distribution and transcription levels of Sb-related genes, including in antioxidant response (OsCuZnSOD2, OsCATA and OsGSH1), detoxification (OsPCS1, OsPCS2 and OsABCC1) and Sb transport and sequestration (OsLsi1 and OsWAK11). Moreover, we also discovered that the mitigation effect of Se was dose-dependent and depended on Sb valence states. Thus, these findings contribute to our understanding of the mechanisms underlying Se-Sb antagonism in rice, offering a potentially useful method for producing both safe and Se-rich crops.
