The main mechanism of plant tolerance is the avoidance of metal uptake, whereas the main mechanism of hyperaccumulation is the uptake and neutralization of metals through specific plant processes. These include the formation of symbioses with rhizosphere microorganisms, the secretion of substances into the soil and metal immobilization, cell wall modification, changes in the expression of genes encoding heavy metal transporters, heavy metal ion chelation, and sequestration, and regenerative heat-shock protein production. The aim of this work was to review the natural plant mechanisms that contribute towards increased heavy metal accumulation and tolerance, as well as a review of the hyperaccumulator phytoremediation capacity. Phytoremediation is a strategy for purifying heavy-metal-contaminated soils using higher plants species as hyperaccumulators.

The WRKY transcription factors (TFs) are one of the largest families of TFs in plants and play multiple roles in plant growth and development and stress response. In this study, GmWRKY21 encoding a WRKY transcription factor was functionally characterized in Arabidopsis and soybean. The GmWRKY21 protein containing a highly conserved WRKY domain and a C2H2 zinc-finger structure is located in the nucleus and has the characteristics of transcriptional activation ability. The GmWRKY21 gene presented a constitutive expression pattern rich in the roots, leaves, and flowers of soybean with over 6-fold of relative expression levels and could be substantially induced by aluminum stress. As compared to the control, overexpression of GmWRKY21 in Arabidopsis increased the root growth of seedlings in transgenic lines under the AlCl3 concentrations of 25, 50, and 100 μM with higher proline and lower MDA accumulation. The results of quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) showed that the marker genes relative to aluminum stress including ALMT, ALS3, MATE, and STOP1 were induced in GmWRKY21 transgenic plants under AlCl3 treatment. The stress-related genes, such as KIN1, COR15A, COR15B, COR47, GLOS3, and RD29A, were also upregulated in GmWRKY21 transgenic Arabidopsis under aluminum stress. Similarly, stress-related genes, such as GmCOR47, GmDREB2A, GmMYB84, GmKIN1, GmGST1, and GmLEA, were upregulated in hair roots of GmWRKY21 transgenic plants. In summary, these results suggested that the GmWRKY21 transcription factor may promote the tolerance to aluminum stress mediated by the pathways regulating the expression of the acidic aluminum stress-responsive genes and abiotic stress-responsive genes.

Recent Advances in Understanding Mechanisms of Plant Tolerance and Response to Aluminum Toxicity

et al. 2021

Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a major environmental stress that inhibits plant growth and development. There has been impressive progress in recent years that has greatly increased our understanding of the nature of Al toxicity and its mechanisms of tolerance. This review describes the transcription factors (TFs) and plant hormones involved in the adaptation to Al stress. In particular, it discusses strategies to confer plant resistance to Al stress, such as transgenic breeding, as well as small molecules and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) to alleviate Al toxicity. This paper provides a theoretical basis for the enhancement of plant production in acidic soils.
