| Zusammenfassung: | Copyright © 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. Melatonin (MT) is a phytohormone important in mediating diverse plant growth processes. In this study, we performed transcriptomic, qRT-PCR, physiological and biochemical analyses of Brassica rapa seedlings in order to understand how MT promotes plant growth. The results showed that exogenous MT increased the rate of cyclic electron flow around photosystem (PS) I, fluorescence quantum yield, and electron transport efficiency between PSII and PSI to promote the vegetative growth of B. rapa seedlings without affecting oxidative stress level, as compared to control. However, MT treatment significantly reduced photosynthetic rate (Pn), transpiration rate (Tr), and stomatal conductance (Gs) by 2.25-, 1.23- and 3.50-fold at 0.05 level, respectively. This occurred in parallel with the down-regulation of the genes for carbon fixation in photosynthetic organisms in a KEGG pathway enrichment. More accelerated plant growth despite the reduced photosynthesis rate and the enhanced electron transport rate suggested that NADPH and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) were preferentially diverted into other anabolic reactions than the Calvin cycle upon MT application. MT treatment increased ATP level and facilitated carbon assimilation into primary metabolism that led to a significant enhancement of soluble protein, sucrose, and fructose, but a significant decrease in glucose content. MT-induced carbon assimilation into primary metabolism was driven by up-regulation of the genes for glutathione metabolism, Krebs cycle, ribosome, and DNA replication in a KEGG pathway enrichment, as well as down-regulation of the genes for secondary metabolites. Our results provide an insight into MT-mediated metabolic adjustments triggered by coordinate changes in a wide range of gene expression profiles to help improve the plant functionality |
