Drought and phosphate availability are two major abiotic factors limiting productivity of rice in rainfed upland areas. There has been a constant need for new improved donor with tolerance to multiple abiotic stress conditions for rainfed rice breeding. In the present study, a set of 32 popular rice varieties and landraces were evaluated for drought and low-phosphorus (P) tolerance, and also characterized using grain yield under reproductive drought QTLs (DTY QTLs) and Pup1 linked/specific molecular markers. Twenty-seven genotypes were identified as tolerant to moderately tolerant to drought. The SSR markers linked to ten DTY QTLs classified the genotypes into two groups corresponding to aus and indica. The tolerant genotypes were distributed under both groups. Based on the core markers of Pup1 locus, complete tolerant haplotype was recorded in nine genotypes other than the tolerant check Dular. Nine more genotypes showed the incomplete tolerant haplotypes. The rice genotypes showed significantly high genetic variability for low-P tolerance in hydroponic study. A few genotypes revealed non-Pup1 type tolerance which needs further confirmation.

As a new plant hormone, strigolactone not only promotes leaf senescence, inhibits plant branching and regulates root structure, but also plays an important role in abiotic stress resistance. However, little is known about the function of VvCCD7 under abiotic stress, a key gene for the synthesis of strigolactone in grapevine. In this study, VvCCD7 gene was cloned from grape leaves of 'Cabernet Sauvignon'.

Genotypic Variability in Root Morphology in a Diverse Wheat Genotypes Under Drought and Low Phosphorus Stress.

Plants (Basel)

November 2024

State Key Laboratory of Soil Erosion and Dryland Farming on the Loess Plateau, College of Natural Resources and Environment, Northwest A&F University, Yangling, Xianyang 712100, China.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explored root traits of 100 winter wheat genotypes under various stress conditions including low phosphorus and drought.
  • Significant changes in root characteristics were noted, with drought reducing biomass and phosphorus content, while promoting deeper root growth.
  • The findings indicate that certain root traits are highly heritable and can be targeted in breeding programs to create wheat varieties that are more resilient to environmental stresses.

Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of phosphate-sensing SPX proteins in oats.

Front Genet

November 2024

Institute of Hybrid Wheat, Beijing Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences (BAAFS), Beijing, China.

Article Synopsis
  • - Phosphorus is essential for plant growth, but its deficiency in soil limits crop yields, with SPXs playing key roles in phosphate transport and absorption in oats.
  • - A genome-wide analysis of 169 SPXs from hexaploid oat and related species revealed that these genes arose from duplication events and are under strong purifying selection.
  • - The study found that SPXs are involved in responses not only to phosphorus deficiency, but also to various abiotic stresses, with specific genes showing significant resistance to low phosphorus, salt, and drought conditions.

Dry season irrigation promotes nutrient cycling by reorganizing Eucalyptus rhizosphere microbiome.

Sci Total Environ

December 2024

Guangdong Key Laboratory for Innovative Development and Utilization of Forest Plant Germplasm, College of Forestry and Landscape Architecture, South China Agricultural University, Guangzhou, China. Electronic address:

In southern China, seasonal droughts and low soil phosphorus content constrain the productivity of Eucalyptus trees. To understand the rhizosphere microbiome response to the dry season, metagenomic sequencing analysis was used to investigate the 6-year-old Eucalyptus rhizosphere microbiome under four different irrigation and fertilization treatments. The results showed that irrigation and fertilization during the dry season significantly altered the composition of microbiome in the rhizosphere soil of Eucalyptus plantations.

Purple acid phosphatases (PAPs) play a vital role in plant phosphorus nutrition, serving as a crucial family of metallo-phosphoesterase enzymes. This research aimed to identify the PAP genes from the A/B/D genomes of Triticum aestivum to elucidate evolutionary mechanisms of the gene family in plants and provide genomic information for subsequent research on phosphorous-use efficiency in wheat crops. In total, 105 PAP genes (TaPAPs) were identified from the A/B/D genomes by using the Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa PAP protein sequences as queries for BLASTP against the wheat protein database.
