摘要： Saline-alkaline (SA) stress is characterized by high salinity and high alkalinity (high pH), which severely inhibit plant growth and cause huge losses in crop yields worldwide. Here we show that a moderate elevation of endogenous abscisic acid (ABA) levels by RNAi-mediated suppression of OsABA8oxl (OsABA8ox1-kd), a key ABA catabolic gene, significantly increased tolerance to SA stress in rice plants. We produced OsABA8ox1-kd lines in two different japonica cultivars, Dongdao 4 and Nipponbare. Compared with non-transgenic control plants (WT), the OsABA8ox1-kd seedlings accumulated 25.9%-55.7% higher levels of endogenous ABA and exhibited reduced plasmalemma injury, ROS accumulation and Na+/K+ ratio, and higher survival rates, under hydroponic alkaline conditions simulated by 10, 15, and 20 mmol L-1 of Na2CO3. In pot trials using SA field soils of different alkali levels (pH 7.59, 8.86, and 9.29), OsABA8ox1-kd plants showed markedly higher seedling survival rates and more vigorous plant growth, resulting in significantly higher yield components including panicle number (85.7%-128.6%), spikelets per panicle (36.9%-61.9%), branches (153.9%-236.7%), 1000-kernel weight (20.0%-28.6%), and percentage of filled spikelets (96.6%-1340.8%) at harvest time. Under severe SA soil conditions (pH = 9.29, EC = 834.4 mu S cm(-1)), OsABA8ox1-kd lines showed an 194.5%-1090.8% increase in grain yield per plant relative to WT plants. These results suggest that suppression of OsABA8ox1 to increase endogenous ABA levels provides a new molecular approach for improving rice yield in SA paddies.
