Project description:Iron toxicity is one of the most common mineral disorders affecting Oryza sativa production in flooded lowland fields. Efforts have been made to develop new rice varieties tolerant to Fe toxicity (+Fe). Oryza meridionalis is an endemic from Northern Australia and grows in regions with Fe rich soils, which may provide Fe tolerance genes and mechanisms that can be used for adaptive breeding. Aiming to understand tolerance mechanisms in rice, we screened a population of interspecific introgression lines (IL) from a cross between O. sativa and O. meridionalis for the identification of QTLs contributing to Fe excess tolerance. Six putative QTLs were identified. A line carrying one introgression from O. meridionalis on chromosome 9 associated with one QTL for leaf bronzing score was identified as tolerant in terms of lipid peroxidation and electrolyte leakage despite presenting very high shoot Fe concentrations. Further physiological, biochemical, ionomic and transcriptomic analyses showed that the IL tolerance could be partly explained by Fe partitioning between the leaf sheath and culm. After the in silico construction of an interspecific hybrid genome to map the sequences from transcriptomic analysis, we identified 47 and 27 genes from O. meridionalis up and down-regulated, respectively, by Fe treatment on the tolerant IL. Among possible genes associated with shoot-based tolerance, we identified metallothionein-like proteins, genes from glutathione S-transferase family and transporters from ABC and Major Facilitator Superfamily. This is the first work to demonstrate that introgressions of O. meridionalis in O. sativa genome confer increased tolerance to +Fe

Proteomic responses to drought vary widely among eight diverse genotypes of rice (Oryza sativa)

Project description:Rice is a critically important food source but yields worldwide are vulnerable to periods of drought. We exposed eight genotypes of upland and lowland rice (Oryza sativa L. ssp. japonica and indica) to drought stress at the late vegetative stage and harvested leaves for protein extraction and subsequent label-free shotgun proteomics. Gene ontology analysis revealed some differentially expressed proteins were induced by drought in all eight genotypes; we speculate that these play a universal role in drought tolerance. However, some highly genotype-specific patterns of response to drought suggest that some mechanisms of metabolic reprogramming are not universal. Such proteins had largely uncharacterized functions, making them biomarker candidates for drought tolerance screens.
