摘要

As a group of concerned organic pollutants, polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are able to accumulate in crops, thereby posing potential ecological risks. Phytohormone herbicides, such as indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), are widely used in agriculture to control weeds. Here, we found that IAA at environmentally relevant concentrations promoted the absorption and translocation of 6:2 chlorinated polyfluoroalkyl ether sulfonate (6:2 Cl-PFESA) in wheat via activated multiple channel proteins. Furthermore, IAA facilitated unloading of 6:2 Cl-PFESA from cortex to xylem, thereby significantly promoting its translocation. The conformation transformation of channel proteins regulated by IAA greatly promotes dissociation of 6:2 Cl-PFESA from the bound proteins. The electrostatic interaction between 6:2 Cl-PFESA and gate residues enlarges the channel radius and promotes its absorption. These findings provide the evidence regarding the potential ecological risks associated with 6:2 Cl-PFESA accumulation in wheat caused by the application of IAA in agriculture.
