摘要： Sulfide in sediment porewaters, is toxic to rooted macrophytes in both marine and freshwater environments. Current research on sulfide stress in seagrasses primarily focuses on morphological and physiological aspects, with little known about the molecular response and resistance mechanisms. This study first investigated the damage caused by sulfide to eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) using transcriptomic, metabolomic, and other physiological and biochemical indicators and explored the potential resistance of eelgrass at molecular level through laboratory simulated and in-situ sulfide stress experiments. Comprehensive results showed that sulfide stress severely inhibited the growth, photosynthesis, and antioxidant enzyme activities of eelgrass. Importantly, transcriptome analysis revealed significant activation of pathways related to carbohydrate and sulfur metabolism. This activation served a dual purpose: providing an energy source for eelgrass stress response and achieving detoxification through accelerated sulfur metabolism-a potential resistance mechanism. The toxicity of sulfide increased with rising temperature as evidenced by a decrease in EC50. Results from recovery experiments indicated that when Fv/Fm reduced to about 0 under sulfide stress, the growth and photosynthesis of eelgrass recovered to normal level after timely removal of sulfide. However, prolonged exposure to sulfide resulted in failure to recover, leading ultimately to plant death. This study not only enhances our understanding of the molecular-level impacts of sulfide on seagrasses but also provides guidance for the management and ecological restoration of seagrass meadows under sulfide stress.
