To investigate the mechanisms by which g-C3N4alleviates metal(loid)-induced phytotoxicity, rice seedlings were exposed to 100 and 250 mg/kg graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) with or without coexposure to 10 mg/kg Cd and 50 mg/kg As for 30 days. Treatment with 250 mg/kg g-C3N4significantly increased shoot and root fresh weight by 22.4–29.9%, reduced Cd and As accumulations in rice tissues by 20.6–26.6%, and elevated the content of essential nutrients (e.g., K, S, Mg, Cu, and Zn) compared to untreated controls. High-throughput sequencing showed that g-C3N4treatment increased the proportion of plant-growth-promoting endophytic bacteria, including Streptomyces, Saccharimonadales, and Thermosporothrix, by 0.5–3.30-fold; these groups are known to be important to plant nutrient assimilation, as well as metal(loid) resistance and bioremediation. In addition, the population of Deinococcuswas decreased by 72.3%; this genus is known to induce biotransformation As(V) to As(III). Metabolomics analyses highlighted differentially expressed metabolites (DEMs) involved in the metabolism of tyrosine metabolism, pyrimidines, and purines, as well as phenylpropanoid biosynthesis related to Cd/As-induced phytotoxicity. In the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway, the increased expression of 4-coumarate (1.13-fold) and sinapyl alcohol (1.26-fold) triggered by g-C3N4coexposure with Cd or As played a critical role in promoting plant growth and enhancing rice resistance against metal(loid) stresses. Our findings demonstrate the potential of g-C3N4to enhance plant growth and minimize the Cd/As-induced toxicity in rice and provide a promising nanoenabled strategy for remediating heavy metal(loid)-contaminated soil. |
