Abstract: Five genes expression of rice seedling roots were investigated under different concentrations of PEG treatmen.t The genes expression pattern of rice roots varied under different intensity drought stress as followed: the main changew as down-regulated under the middle and mild drought stress, the up-regu lated was the minority. The genes expression was comp lex under serious drought stress, I. e., themain change of some genes( L-ascorbate perox-i dase genes, small nuclearRNA gene Z274, form ic acid tetrahydro folate ligase genes)w as up-regulated, xy lanase inhib-i tor prote in 1precursors genew as down-regulated, themain change of acidic enchitinase genew as increase, but the up multip lew as lower than the dow nmultiple far away. Five genes expression variat ion showed six types and each type of expression was day fluctuation. Rice root systems of drough-t resistant variety had different response strategies to adapt different intensity drought stress: variety may reduce unnecessary energy and material consumption under mild and middle drought and mobilize sign ificant related substances to resist drought damage under serious drought stress.
