摘要： Weeds present a pervasive challenge in agricultural fields. The integration of herbicide-resistant crops with chemical weed management offers an effective solution for sustainable weed control while reducing labor inputs, particularly in large-scale intensive farming systems. Consequently, the development of herbicide-resistant cultivars has emerged as an urgent priority. In this study, we found that the G311E mutant gene of Arabidopsis MATE (multidrug and toxic compound extrusion) family transporter DTX6, designated DTX6m, confers robust resistance to bipyridyl herbicides paraquat and diquat in rice. DTX6m-overexpression lines exhibited marked resistance to these two herbicides, tolerating diquat concentrations up to 5 g/L, which is five-fold higher than the recommended field application dosage. Agronomic assessments demonstrated that grain yields of DTX6m-overexpressing plants were statistically equivalent to those of wild-type plants. Moreover, the plants displayed beneficial phenotypic changes, such as accelerated flowering and a slight reduction in height. Seed morphometric analysis indicated that in comparison with the wild-type control, DTX6m-transgenic lines exhibited altered grain dimensions while maintaining consistent 1000-grain weight. Nutritional assays further demonstrated that DTX6m increased the levels of free amino acids in seeds, while normal protein and starch contents were retained. Collectively, these results establish that DTX6m effectively boosts rice resistance to paraquat and diquat, validating DTX6m as a candidate gene for engineering plant herbicide resistance and also implying a potential role for DTX6m in amino acid homeostasis in plants.
