Transcriptome and DNA Methylome Analysis of Two Contrasting Rice Genotypes under Salt Stress during Germination.

ABSTRACT: With climate change and labor shortages, direct-seeding rice cultivation is becoming popular worldwide, especially in Asia. Salinity stress negatively affects rice seed germination in the direct-seeding process, and the cultivation of suitable direct-seeding rice varieties under salinity stress is necessary. However, little is known about the underlying mechanism of salt responses during seed germination under salt stress. To investigate the salt tolerance mechanism at the seed germination stage, two contrasting rice genotypes differing in salt tolerance, namely, FL478 (salt-tolerant) and IR29 (salt-sensitive), were used in this study. We observed, that compared to IR29, FL478 appeared to be more tolerant to salt stress with a higher germination rate. GD1 (germination defective 1), which w
