摘要: Key message Abscisic acid could regulate structural genes in the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway and alleviate the decrease of carotenoids in maize seedlings under low-temperature stress.Low temperature often hampers the development of maize seedlings and hinders the accumulation of carotenoids, which are functional against chilling stress for plants and providing health benefits for human. To explore effective approaches in reducing chilling stress and enhancing the potential nutritional values of maize seedlings, exogenous plant hormones abscisic acid (ABA) and salicylic acid (SA) that may affect carotenoid biosynthesis were applied on low-temperature-stressed maize seedlings. Results showed that low temperature significantly reduced the carotenoid levels in maize seedlings, only preserving 62.8% in comparison to the control. The applied ABA probably interacted with the ABA-responsive cis-acting elements (ABREs) in the promoter regions of PSY3, ZDS and CHYB and activated their expressions. Consequently, the total carotenoid concentration was apparently increased to 1121 +/- 47 ng center dot g(-1) fresh weight (FW), indicating the stress alleviation by ABA. The application of SA did not yield positive results in alleviating chilling stress in maize seedlings. However, neoxanthin content could be notably boosted to 52.12 +/- 0.45 ng center dot g(-1) FW by SA, offering a biofortification strategy for specific nutritional enhancement. Structural gene PSY1 demonstrated positive correlations with beta-carotene and zeaxanthin (r = 0.93 and 0.89), while CRTISO was correlated with total carotenoids (r = 0.92), indicating their critical roles in carotenoid accumulation. The present study exhibited the effectiveness of ABA to mitigate chilling stress and improve the potential nutritional values in low-temperature-stressed maize seedlings, thereby promoting the production of plant-based food sources.
