摘要： Peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.) is one of the most important oil crops worldwide. Cadmium (Cd), a heavy metal that is nonessential and toxic, has the potential to significantly impacted the quality and safety of peanut. Despite the known importance of Pleiotropic Drug Resistance (PDR) genes in heavy metal accumulation and transport in plants, there is a lack of comprehensive research on the systematic identification and functional characterization of AhPDRs in peanut. In this study, a total of 38 AhPDR genes were discovered within the peanut genome. Among these, AhPDR24, AhPDR30, and AhPDR33 displayed notable variations in expression levels in response to Cd stress. Particularly noteworthy was the observation that AhPDR33, localized in the plasma membrane, exhibited a significant increase in expression (approximately 3.8-fold) and heightened promoter activity (approximately 4.1-fold) following exposure to Cd (75 mu M CdCl2). Furthermore, the study found that the overexpression of AhPDR33 in Arabidopsis resulted in increased root elongation and decreased Cd accumulation (approximately 0.42-fold) compared to wild-type plants. This suggests that AhPDR33 may have a beneficial role in facilitating Cd efflux and tolerance in plants. Additionally, transient silencing of AhPDR33 in peanut demonstrated its positive regulation of Cd tolerance through the promotion of reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging and membrane permeability reduction. These findings contribute to the understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in AhPDR33-mediated Cd tolerance and detoxification in peanut. Furthermore, this study provides comprehensive information to understand the AhPDR gene family, its features, and its expression, which will hold a promising utility as an excellent candidate in the genetic improvement of peanut Cd stress tolerance.
