In this study, we identified a mutant, termed salt-tolerant and small grains(sts), with salt tolerance and small grains. Gene cloning and physiological and biochemical experiments reveal that sts is a novel mutant allele of Mitogen-activated protein Kinase Kinase 4 (OsMKK4), which controls the grain size, and has recently been found to be related to salt tolerance in rice. Functional analysis showed that OsSTS is constitutively expressed throughout the tissue, and its proteins are localized to the nucleus, cell membrane, and cytoplasm. It was found that the loss of OsSTS function enhanced the salt tolerance of rice seedlings, and further studies showed that the loss of OsSTS function increased the ROS clearance rate of rice seedlings, independent of ionic toxicity. In order to explore the salt tolerance mechanism of sts, we found that the salt tolerance of sts is also regulated by ABA through high-throughput mRNA sequencing. Salt and ABA treatment showed that ABA might alleviate the inhibitory effect of salt stress on root length in sts.

Here, we developed a set of chromosome segment substitution lines with Xiushui134 as receptor parent and Yangdao6 as donor parent and used these lines as a mapping population to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for seed vigor, which we evaluated based on germinability-related indicators (germination percentage (GP), germination energy (GE), and germination index (GI)) and seedling vigor-related indicators (root number (RN), root length (RL), and shoot length (SL) at 14 days after imbibition) under controlled conditions in an incubator.

First, we predicted and recommended items based on the time series information from the user’s purchase history.
