Nitric oxide (NO) and ethylene are both important signaling molecules which participate in numerous plant development processes and environmental stress resistance. Here, we investigate whether and how NO interacts with ethylene during the development of endodermal barriers that have major consequences for the apoplastic uptake of cadmium (Cd) in the hyperaccumulator Sedum alfredii. In response to Cd, an increased NO accumulation, while a decrease in ethylene production was observed in the roots of S. alfredii. Exogenous supplementation of NO donor SNP (sodium nitroprusside) decreased the ethylene production in roots, while NO scavenger cPTIO (2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide) had the opposite effect. The exogenous addition of NO affected the ethylene production through regulating the expression of genes related to ethylene synthesis. However, upon exogenous ethylene addition, roots retained their NO accumulation. The abovementioned results suggest that ethylene is downstream of the NO signaling pathway in S. alfredii. Regardless of Cd, addition of SNP promoted the deposition of endodermal barriers via regulating the genes related to Casparian strips deposition and suberization. Correlation analyses indicate that NO positively modifies the formation of endodermal barriers via the NO-ethylene signaling pathway, Cd-induced NO accumulation interferes with the synthesis of ethylene, leading to a deposition of endodermal barriers in S. alfredii.
