    Abstract:
    Cadmium stress causes a decrease in chlorophyll content and inhibits photosynthesis in tobacco leaves. The role of thioredoxin-like protein CDSP32 expressed in plant chloroplasts is to alleviates the reduced enzymes expression involved in chlorophyll synthesis of tobacco leaves due to Cd exposure, effectively preventing chlorophyll degradation and promoting increased tobacco biomass. Overexpression of Trx CDSP32 can protect the oxygen-evolving complex on the PSII donor side and promote electron transfer on the PSII acceptor side of tobacco leaves under Cd stress. Trx CDSP32 not only significantly increase the PSI activity of tobacco leaves, but also alleviate cadmium-induced PSI photoinhibition. Although Trx CDSP32 has no significant effect on the expression of PC and FNR proteins in tobacco leaves under Cd stress, it can alleviate the decreased expression of protein subunits involved in photosynthetic electron transfer such as Cyt b6/f complex subunits, Fd, and ATP synthase subunits. Trx CDSP32 can promote the synthesis of chlorophyll, stabilize the electron transfer chain, and promote ATP synthase activity to alleviate cadmium-induced photoinhibition of PSII and PSI in tobacco leaves.
