This study identified a cell number regulator gene called SlCNR8 in willow, which enhances resistance to trace metals in transgenic poplar seedlings. SlCNR8 reduces Cd uptake and accumulation, and can be used as a candidate gene for genetic improvement of phytostabilisation of trace metals.
Trace metals have relatively high density and high toxicity at low concentrations. Willow (Salix genus) is an excellent phytoremediation species for soil contaminated by trace metal ions. This study identified a cell number regulator (CNR) gene family member in Salix linearistipularis exhibiting strong metal ion resistance: SlCNR8. SlCNR8 expression was affected by various metal ions, including cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), and manganese (Mn). SlCNR8 overexpression enhanced Cd, Zn, Cu, and Fe resistance in transgenic poplar seedlings (84K) compared with the wild-type (WT). Moreover, transgenic poplar seedlings showed lower root Cd uptake and less Cd accumulation than WT under Cd stress. SlCNR8 was primarily localized to the nucleus and the plasma membrane-like cell periphery. Furthermore, SlCNR8 had transcriptional activation activity in yeast. The transcript levels of multiple metal ion transporters were altered in the roots of transgenic poplar seedlings compared to WT roots under Cd stress. These results suggest that SlCNR8 may enhance Cd resistance in transgenic poplar by reducing Cd uptake and accumulation. This may be related to altered transcription levels of other transporters or to itself. Our study suggests that SlCNR8 can be used as a candidate gene for genetic improvement of phytostabilisation of trace metals by genetic engineering.
