A Metal-Accumulator Mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana

A mutation designated man1 (for manganese accumulator) was found to cause
Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings to accumulate a range of metals. The man1
mutation segregated as a single recessive locus located on chromosome 3.
When grown on soil, mutant seedlings accumulated Mn (7.5 times greater than
wild type), Cu (4.6 times greater than wild type), Zn (2.8 times greater
than wild type), and Mg (1.8 times greater than wild type) in leaves. In
addition to these metals, the man1 mutant accumulated 2.7-fold more S in
leaves, primarily in the oxidized form, than wild-type seedlings. Analysis
of seedlings grown by hydroponic culture showed a similar accumulation of
metals in leaves of man1 mutants. Roots of man1 mutants also accumulated
metals, but unlike leaves they accumulated 10-fold more total Fe
(symplasmic and apoplasmic combined) than wild-type roots. Roots of man1
mutants possessed greater (from 1.8- to 20-fold) ferric-chelate reductase
activity than wild-type seedlings, and this activity was not responsive to
changes of Mn nutrition in either genotype. Taken together, these results
suggest that the man1 mutation disrupts the regulation of metal-ion uptake
or homeostasis in Arabidopsis.
