Estimating the yield stability of heat-tolerant rice genotypes under various heat conditions across reproductive stages: a 5-year case study.

ABSTRACT: Heat events during the reproductive stages of rice plants induce great yield losses. Cultivating heat-tolerant varieties is a promising strategy for guaranteeing grain security under global warming scenarios. Most heat-tolerant rice genotypes were identified under heat during the flowering stage, but it is unclear whether these currently screened heat-tolerant rice genotypes maintain stable high grain yields when heat stress occurs during the other reproductive stages. In the present study, two notable heat-tolerant rice cultivars, Nagina22 and Shanyou63, and one typical heat-sensitive cultivar, Liangyoupeijiu, were evaluated for their yield response and yield stability under heat treatments during the panicle initiation, flowering, and grain filling stages during 2010-2014. Our results revealed that rice cultivars respond differently to heat stress during different reproductive stages. Nagina22 was the most tolerant to heat stress during the flowering and grain filling stages but was susceptible during panicle initiation; Shanyou63 was the most tolerant to heat stress during panicle initiation and grain filling and was moderately tolerant to heat stress during the flowering stages. Genotype and genotype-by-environment interaction biplot yield analysis revealed that Shanyou63 exhibited the highest stability in high grain yield, followed by Nagina22, and Liangyoupeijiu exhibited stable low grain yield when experiencing heat stress across the three reproductive stages. Our results indicate that the heat tolerance of different rice cultivars depends on the reproductive stage during which heat stress occurs, and the effects manifest as reductions in grain yields and seed setting rates. Future efforts to develop heat-tolerant varieties should strive to breed varieties that are comprehensively tolerant to heat stress during any reproductive stage to cope with the unpredictable occurrence of future heat events.

Project description:BackgroundThe effects of viral infection involve concomitant plant gene variations and cellular changes. A simple system is required to assess the complexity of host responses to viral infection. The genome of the Rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) is a single-stranded RNA with a simple organisation. It is the most well-known monocotyledon virus model. Several studies on its biology, structure and phylogeography have provided a suitable background for further genetic studies. 12 rice chromosome sequences are now available and provide strong support for genomic studies, particularly physical mapping and gene identification.ResultsThe present data, obtained through the cDNA-AFLP technique, demonstrate differential responses to RYMV of two different rice cultivars, i.e. susceptible IR64 (Oryza sativa indica), and partially resistant Azucena (O. s. japonica). This RNA profiling provides a new original dataset that will enable us to gain greater insight into the RYMV/rice interaction and the specificity of the host response. Using the SIM4 subroutine, we took the intron/exon structure of the gene into account and mapped 281 RYMV stress responsive (RSR) transcripts on 12 rice chromosomes corresponding to 234 RSR genes. We also mapped previously identified deregulated proteins and genes involved in partial resistance and thus constructed the first global physical map of the RYMV/rice interaction. RSR transcripts on rice chromosomes 4 and 10 were found to be not randomly distributed. Seven genes were identified in the susceptible and partially resistant cultivars, and transcripts were colocalized for these seven genes in both cultivars. During virus infection, many concomitant plant gene expression changes may be associated with host changes caused by the infection process, general stress or defence responses. We noted that some genes (e.g. ABC transporters) were regulated throughout the kinetics of infection and differentiated susceptible and partially resistant hosts.ConclusionWe enhanced the first RYMV/rice interaction map by combining information from the present study and previous studies on proteins and ESTs regulated during RYMV infection, thus providing a more comprehensive view on genes related to plant responses. This combined map provides a new tool for exploring molecular mechanisms underlying the RYMV/rice interaction.

Project description:Terminal heat stress during reproductive stage in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) causes pollen grain sterility and has a drastic impact on wheat crop production. Finding genotypes with high pollen viability under heat stress is crucial to cope with the impact of climate change through developing heat-tolerant cultivars. To assess the effect of terminal heat stress on pollen viability in a panel of spring wheat genotypes (N = 200), RCBD (randomized complete block design) field trials were conducted under normal and heat stress conditions for two consecutive years (2020-2021 and 2021-2022). Analysis of variance showed significant variation in genotypes, treatments, and genotype × treatment interaction. Fifty and 46 genotypes were categorized as heat tolerant (HSI pv < 0.5) in the first and second year, respectively. Twelve genotypes, namely, Chenab-70, Pari-73, Pak-81, MH-21, Punjab-76, NIFA-Aman, NUWYT-63, Swabi-1, Nisnan-21, Frontana, Amin-2000, and Pirsabak-2004, were found to be heat tolerant across the years. The violin plot displayed a trend of improvement in heat tolerance (HSI pv < 0.5) over the period of time in many modern wheat varieties. However, some modern wheat varieties released after 2001 such as Janbaz-09 (57%), Ghazi-2019 (57%), and Sindhu-16 (43%) had very low pollen viability under heat stress conditions. The results of phenotypic coefficient of variance (PCV%), genotypic coefficient of variance (GCV%), broad sense heritability (h2 bs), and genetic advance (GA) suggested the major contribution of genetic factors in controlling pollen viability trait. Higher values of h2 bs and GA under heat stress conditions suggested pollen viability as a heat tolerance trait controlled by additive genetic effects. Taken together, these results suggested pollen viability as a useful trait for selection in early generations under elevated temperatures. The genotypes identified as heat tolerant in both years can be used as genetic resources for breeding cultivars with higher pollen viability under elevated temperature conditions.
