A Dominant Mutation in ARL2 Causes Impaired Adventitious Root Development in Rice

Adventitious roots are vital for water and nutrient assimilation by cereal crops because they comprise the bulk of the fibrous root system. We isolated and analyzed a rice mutant, adventitious rootless 2 (arl2), which failed to initiate adventitious root primordia during early development. Its seminal root produced fewer lateral roots than from the wild type. This mutant also exhibited pleiotropic phenotypes of longer and thicker seminal roots, a different morphology for the first leaf, delayed heading, and a greater tiller angle. Physiological experiments showed that exogenous auxin and ethylene could rescue adventitious root growth, a response opposite that for two previously reported mutants, arl1 and gnom1. Activity in the auxin signal pathway and the polar auxin transport system was normal for arl2. Compared with the wild type, arl2 plants showed enhanced sensitivity to ethephon but decreased sensitivity to AgNO_3, an inhibitor of ethylene. Genetics analysis demonstrated that this mutant is controlled by a single dominant gene; ARL2 was mapped within a 100-kb interval on the short arm of chromosome 2.
Overexpression of OsVP1 and OsNHX1 Increases Tolerance to Drought and Salinity in Rice

Drought and salinity are major abiotic stresses affecting rice production. To improve plant tolerance to salinity and drought, we overexpressed rice Na+/H+ exchangers (OsNHX1) and H+-pyrophosphatase in tonoplasts (OsVP1) in a japonica elite rice cultivar, Zhonghua 11. Compared with our wild-type control, transgenic plants overexpressing both genes incurred less damage when exposed to long-term treatment with 100 mM NaCl or water deprivation. Under high-saline conditions, the transformants accumulated less Na+ and malondialdehyde in the leaves,thereby allowing the plants to maintain a low level of leaf water potential and reduce stress-induced damage. Those transgenics also had higher photosynthetic activity during the stress period. Under those conditions, they also showed an increase in root biomass, which enabled more water uptake. These results suggest that OsVP1 and OsNHX1 improve the tolerance of rice crops against drought and salt by employing multiple strategies in addition to osmotic regulation.
