Abstract
MADS-box transcription factors are important regulators of plant abiotic stress response. Despite the exceptional drought tolerance of Agropyron mongolicum, research on the MADS-box transcription factors governing simulate drought stress in this species are limited. In this study, overexpressing AmMADS47 in rice resulted in reduced drought tolerance. Transcriptome sequencing of wild-type (WT) and transgenic rice (OE) at 0 hours of drought and wild-type (WTD) and transgenic rice (OED) at 24 hours of osmotic stress revealed 21,521 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) totally. Further analysis of the top 20 enriched pathways of the DEGs between OE and WT, and between OED and WTD showed that phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and glutathione metabolism were the shared pathways most enriched in DEGs, and photosynthesis-antenna proteins were the shared pathway with the highest enrichment score and significance. Gene regulation in response to osmotic stress was analyzed in the three pathways, showing that, compared to WTD, OED exhibited up-regulation of a few drought-sensitive genes, while most genes positively regulating drought in WTD were down-regulated in OED. Collectively, these results highlight the crucial role of AmMADS47 in modulating the synthesis of key enzymes and the expression patterns of drought-responsive genes in three candidate pathways in rice, ultimately reducing drought resistance in rice.
期刊介绍：
In an ever changing world, plant science is of the utmost importance for securing the future well-being of humankind. Plants provide oxygen, food, feed, fibers, and building materials. In addition, they are a diverse source of industrial and pharmaceutical chemicals. Plants are centrally important to the health of ecosystems, and their understanding is critical for learning how to manage and maintain a sustainable biosphere. Plant science is extremely interdisciplinary, reaching from agricultural science to paleobotany, and molecular physiology to ecology. It uses the latest developments in computer science, optics, molecular biology and genomics to address challenges in model systems, agricultural crops, and ecosystems. Plant science research inquires into the form, function, development, diversity, reproduction, evolution and uses of both higher and lower plants and their interactions with other organisms throughout the biosphere. Frontiers in Plant Science welcomes outstanding contributions in any field of plant science from basic to applied research, from organismal to molecular studies, from single plant analysis to studies of populations and whole ecosystems, and from molecular to biophysical to computational approaches.
Frontiers in Plant Science publishes articles on the most outstanding discoveries across a wide research spectrum of Plant Science. The mission of Frontiers in Plant Science is to bring all relevant Plant Science areas together on a single platform.
