摘要
5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), a key biosynthetic precursor of tetrapyrroles, is vital for plant growth and adaptation to stress environments. Although exogenous ALA could enhance photosynthesis and biomass accumulation in plants under stress conditions, the underlying physiological and molecular mechanisms governed by ALA in promoting salt tolerance in Brassica napus L. are not yet clearly understood. In the present study, exogenous ALA with the concentration of 30 mg L-1 was applied to the leaves of B. napus seedlings subjected to 200 mM NaCl. The results showed that NaCl stress decreased the photosynthesis, biomass accumulation, and levels of chlorophyll and heme with the reduction of the concentrations of intermediates including ALA, protoporphyrin IX (Proto IX), Mg-Proto IX, and Pchlide in the tetrapyrrole (chlorophyll and heme) biosynthetic pathway. The transcript levels of genes encoding ALA-associated enzymes and genes encoding Mg-chelatase in the chlorophyll biosynthetic branch were down-regulated, while the expression levels of genes encoding Fe-chelatase in the heme branch were not significantly altered by NaCl stress. Foliar application with ALA enhanced the above-ground biomass, net photosynthetic rate, activities of antioxidant enzymes, accumulation of chlorophyll and heme, and concentrations of intermediates related to chlorophyll and heme biosynthesis in B. napus under 200 mM NaCl. The expression of most genes mentioned above remained constant in ALA-treated plants in comparison with non-ALA-treated plants under NaCl stress. Additionally, exogenous ALA synchronously induced the proline concentration and up-regulated the expression of genes P5CS and ProDH encoding proline metabolic enzymes in the NaCl treatment. These findings suggested that ALA improved salt tolerance through promoting the accumulation of chlorophyll and heme resulting from the increase of intermediate levels in the tetrapyrrole biosynthetic pathway, along with enhancing the proline accumulation in B. napus.
