Abstract
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are well known for enhancing phosphorus uptake in plants; however, their regulating roles in cation transporting gene family, such as natural resistance-associated macrophage protein (NRAMP), are still limited. Here, we performed bioinformatics analysis and quantitative expression assays of tomato SlNRAMP 1 to 5 genes under nutrient deficiency and cadmium (Cd) stress in response to AM symbiosis. These five SlNRAMP members are mainly located in the plasma or vacuolar membrane and can be divided into two subfamilies. Cis-element analysis revealed several motifs involved in phytohormonal and abiotic regulation in their promoters. SlNRAMP2 was downregulated by iron deficiency, while SlNRAMP1, SlNRAMP3, SlNRAMP4, and SlNRAMP5 responded positively to copper-, zinc-, and manganese-deficient conditions. AM colonization reduced Cd accumulation and expression of SlNRAMP3 but enhanced SlNRAMP1, SlNRAMP2, and SlNRMAP4 in plants under Cd stress. These findings provide valuable genetic information for improving tomato resilience to nutrient deficiency and heavy metal stress by developing AM symbiosis.
