摘要

Background

Soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill), a vital source of edible oil and protein, ranks seventh in global agricultural production, yet its productivity is significantly hindered by potential toxic metal/liods (PTM) stress. Arsenic (As), a highly toxic soil contaminant, poses substantial risks to both plants and humans, even at trace concentrations, particularly in China.

Results

This research endeavor delves into the combined effect of arsenate (AsV), a common form of As in soil, and nano-selenium (nSe), on the transcriptional regulation of key genes and the modulation of signaling and metabolic cascades in young soybean seedlings. Our findings indicate that nSe mitigates AsV toxicity by modulating hormonal signaling cascades, particularly the phenylalanine and salicylic acid pathways, thereby augmenting antioxidant defenses and mitigating the damaging effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS) on soybean roots.

Conclusion

This study offers valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying metalloid tolerance in soybean, opening avenues for the development of strategies to bolster As resistance in contaminated soils. Nevertheless, further investigation is imperative to elucidate the intricate interplay of hormonal signaling in soybean roots during nSe supplementation under As stress conditions.
