Identification of microRNAs That Provide a Low Light Stress Tolerance-Mediated Signaling Pathway during Vegetative Growth in Rice.

ABSTRACT: Low light intensity affects several physiological parameters during the different growth stages in rice. Plants have various regulatory mechanisms to cope with stresses. One of them is the differential and temporal expression of genes, which is governed by post-transcriptional gene expression regulation through endogenous miRNAs. To decipher low light stress-responsive miRNAs in rice, miRNA expression profiling was carried out using next-generation sequencing of low-light-tolerant (Swarnaprabha) and -sensitive (IR8) rice genotypes through Illumina sequencing. Swarnaprabha and IR8 were subjected to 25% low light treatment for one day, three days, and five days at the active tillering stage. More than 43 million raw reads and 9 million clean reads were identified in Swarnaprabha, while more than 41 million raw reads and 8.5 million clean reads were identified in IR8 after NGS. Importantly, 513 new miRNAs in rice were identified, whose targets were mostly regulated by the genes involved in photosynthesis and metabolic pathways. Additionally, 114 known miRNAs were also identified. Five novel (osa-novmiR1, osa-novmiR2, osa-novmiR3, osa-novmiR4, and osa-novmiR5) and three known (osa-miR166c-3p, osa-miR2102-3p, and osa-miR530-3p) miRNAs were selected for their expression validation through miRNA-specific qRT-PCR. The expression analyses of most of the predicted targets of corresponding miRNAs show negative regulation. Hence, miRNAs modulated the expression of genes providing tolerance/susceptibility to low light stress. This information might be useful in the improvement of crop productivity under low light stress.

Project description:Drought is a major abiotic stress affecting crop yields. Mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and mining genes for drought tolerance in rice are important for identifying gene functions and targets for molecular breeding. Here, we performed linkage analysis of drought tolerance using a recombinant inbred line population derived from Jileng 1 (drought sensitive) and Milyang 23 (drought tolerant). An ultra-high-density genetic map, previously constructed by our research team using genotype data from whole-genome sequencing, was used in combination with phenotypic data for rice grown under drought stress conditions in the field in 2017-2019. Thirty-nine QTLs related to leaf rolling index and leaf withering degree were identified, and QTLs were found on all chromosomes except chromosomes 6, 10, and 11. qLWD4-1 was detected after 32 days and 46 days of drought stress in 2017 and explained 7.07-8.19% of the phenotypic variation. Two loci, qLRI2-2 and qLWD4-2, were identified after 29, 42, and 57 days of drought stress in 2018. These loci explained 10.59-17.04% and 5.14-5.71% of the phenotypic variation, respectively. There were 281 genes within the QTL interval. Through gene functional annotation and expression analysis, two candidate genes, Os04g0574600 and OsCHR731, were found. Quantitative reverse transcription PCR analysis showed that the expression levels of these genes were significantly higher under drought stress than under normal conditions, indicating positive regulation. Notably, Os04g0574600 was a newly discovered drought tolerance gene. Haplotype analysis showed that the RIL population carried two haplotypes (Hap1 and Hap2) of both genes. Lines carrying Hap2 exhibited significantly or extremely stronger drought tolerance than those carrying Hap1, indicating that Hap2 is an excellent haplotype. Among rice germplasm resources, there were two and three haplotypes of Os04g0574600 and OsCHR731, respectively. A high proportion of local rice resources in Sichuan, Yunnan, Anhui, Guangdong and Fujian provinces had Hap of both genes. In wild rice, 50% of accessions contained Hap1 of Os04g0574600 and 50% carried Hap4; 13.51%, 59.46% and 27.03% of wild rice accessions contained Hap1, Hap2, and Hap3, respectively. Hap2 of Os04g0574600 was found in more indica rice resources than in japonica rice. Therefore, Hap2 has more potential for utilization in future drought tolerance breeding of japonica rice.

Project description:Late spring cold is a disastrous weather condition that often affects early rice seedlings in southern China, limiting the promotion of direct seeding cultivation. However, there are few reports on the effect of these events and on the growth recovery mechanism of rice root systems after rice seedlings are exposed to this stress. This study selected the strong-growth-recovery variety B116 (R310/R974, F17) and the slow-recovery variety B811 (Zhonghui 286) for direct seeding cultivation and exposed them to low temperature and low-light stress to simulate a late spring cold event in an artificial climate chamber. The treatment consisted of 4 days of exposure to a day/night temperature of 14/10 °C and a light intensity of 266 µmol m-2s-1 while the control group was kept at a day/night temperature of 27/25 °C and light intensity of 533 µmol m-2s-1. The results showed that 6 days after stress, the total length, surface area, and volume of B116 roots increased by 335.5%, 290.1%, and 298.5%, respectively, while those of B811 increased by 228.8%, 262.0%, and 289.1%, respectively. In B116, the increase in root fresh weight was 223.1%, and that in B811 was 165.6%, demonstrating rapid root recovery after stress and significant differences among genotypes. The content of H2O2 and MDA in the B116 roots decreased faster than that in the B811 roots after normal light intensity and temperature conditions were restored, and the activity of ROS metabolism enzymes was stronger in B116 roots than in B811 roots. The correlation analysis between the transcriptome and metabolome showed that endogenous signal transduction and starch and sucrose metabolism were the main metabolic pathways affecting the rapid growth of rice seedling roots after exposure to combined stress from low temperature and low light intensities. The levels of auxin and sucrose in the roots of the strong-recovery variety B116 were higher, and this variety's metabolism was downregulated significantly faster than that of B811. The auxin response factor and sucrose synthesis-related genes SPS1 and SUS4 were significantly upregulated. This study contributes to an understanding of the rapid growth recovery mechanism in rice after exposure to combined stress from low-temperature and low-light conditions.
