A novel ABA functional analogue B2 enhances drought tolerance in wheat.

ABSTRACT: Drought stress negatively affects wheat growth and yield. Application of drought agent is an effective way to improve crop drought tolerance, therefore increasing crop yield. Based on the structure of abscisic acid (ABA), Pyrabactin and coronatine (COR), we designed the target compound B2. To investigate the function of B2 in alleviating drought stress on wheat, the drought-resistant variety ND212 and drought-sensitive variety LX99 were used under hydroponic conditions. The results showed that B2 had a similar function with ABA, especially 0.01??mol·L-1 B2. Under drought stress conditions, 0.01??mol·L-1 B2 increased the water content of wheat, enhanced the osmotic adjustment ability of leaves, and reduced the toxicity of reactive oxygen species on cells. What's more, 0.01??mol·L-1 B2 improved the expression level of ABA-responsive genes TaSnRK2.4 and TaMYB3R1. It also improved the expression level of drought-responsive genes TaSRHP and TaERF3. Taken together, B2 enhanced drought tolerance in wheat by activating ABA signaling pathway.

Project description:Drought is the major abiotic stress that decreases plant water status, inhibits photosynthesis, induces oxidative stress, restricts growth and finally lead to the reduction of wheat yield. It has been proven that drought priming during vegetative growth stage could enhance tolerance to drought stress at grain filling in wheat. However, whether drought priming imposed at grain filling in parental plants could induce drought tolerance in the offspring is not known. In this study, drought priming was successively applied in the first, the second and the third generation of wheat to obtain the plants of T1 (primed for one generation), T2 (primed for two generations), T3 (primed for three generations). The differently primed plants were then subjected to drought stress during grain filling in the fourth generation. Under drought stress, the parentally primed (T1D, T2D, T3D) plants, disregarding the number of generations, showed higher grain yield, leaf photosynthetic rate and antioxidant capacity as well as lower [Formula: see text] release rate and contents of H2O2 and MDA than the non-primed (T0D) plants, suggesting that drought priming induced the transgenerational stress tolerance to drought stress. Moreover, the parentally primed plants showed higher leaf water status, which may result from the higher contents of proline and glycine betaine, and higher activities of ?1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase (P5CS) and betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH), compared with the non-primed plants under drought stress. In addition, there was no significant difference among three generations under drought, and the drought priming in parental generations did not affect the grain yield of the offspring plants under control condition. Collectively, the enhanced accumulation of proline and glycine betaine in the parentally primed plants could have played critical roles in parental priming induced tolerance to drought stress. This research provided a potential approach to improve drought tolerance of offspring plants by priming parental plants.
