Abstract

Abstract: 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) participates in plant growth and development, and can also delay senescence and cope with abiotic stress. To explore the role of 5-HT in regulating the abilities of mangrove in cold resis-tance, we examined the effects of cold acclimation and the spraying of p-chlorophenylalanine (p-CPA, 5-HT synthesis inhibitor) on leaf gas exchange parameters and CO₂ response curves (A/Ca), as well as the endogenous phytohormone content levels in the mangrove species Kandelia obovata seedlings under low temperature stress. The results showed that low temperature stress significantly reduced the contents of 5-HT, chlorophyll, endogenous auxin (IAA), gibberellin (GA), and abscisic acid (ABA). It weakened the CO₂ utilization abilities of plants and reduced net photosynthetic rate, which ultimately reduced carboxylation efficiency (CE). Under low temperature stress, exogenous p-CPA reduced the contents of photosynthetic pigments, endogenous hormones, and 5-HT in the leaves, which aggravated the damages caused by low temperature stress on photosynthesis. By enhancing cold acclimation abilities, the endogenous IAA content in the leaves could was reduced under low temperature stress, promoted the production of 5-HT, improved the contents of photosynthetic pigments, GA, and ABA, as well as enhanced photosynthetic carbon assimilation abilities, which would increase photosynthesis in the K. obovata seedlings. Under cold acclimation conditions, the spraying of p-CPA could significantly inhibit the synthesis of 5-HT, promote the production of IAA, and reduce the contents of photosynthetic pigments, GA, ABA, and CE, which would weaken the effects of cold acclimation by improving the cold resistance of mangroves. In conclusion, cold acclimation could improve the cold resistance abilities of K. obovata seedlings by regulating photosynthetic carbon assimilation capacity and the contents of endogenous phytohormone. 5-HT synthesis is one of the necessary conditions for improving the cold resistance abilities of mangroves.
