Abstract
Manganese (Mn) is an essential nutrient required for the catalytic or regulatory function of several cellular enzymes. However, excessive Mn concentrations in plant tissues are toxic to plant cells as they negatively affect enzymatic activities, lead to oxidative stress and disturb the uptake and distribution of other essential mineral elements (Ca, P, Mg or Fe). Plants have developed multiple mechanisms to avoid heavy metals (including Mn) toxicity, including transport across the plasma membrane or tonoplast. The genes encoding transporters involved in Mn detoxification are now being identified in different plant species, and functional characterization of genes isolated from species can be easily carried out in Arabidopsis.
Here we provide a method to evaluate the tolerance to excess Mn of Arabidopsis lines transformed with empty vector pMDC43 or the same vector carrying cucumber gene CsMTP8 encoding putative manganese transporter localized in the vacuolar membrane. We analyzed the growth and developmental phenotypes of plants grown in controlled conditions (phytotrone) on sterile plates containing different concentrations of MnSO4 during a 16 days period. Mn accumulation was measured in the same plants grown in liquid medium supplemented or not (control) with toxic Mn concentration.
