Priming Effects of Abscisic Acid on High Temperature Stress Tolerance in Rice at Seed Germination Stage

doi:10.7668/hbnxb.20191968

Abstract

Abstract: In order to explore the priming effect of exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) on the high temperature stress tolerance of rice at seed germination stage, rice seeds were soaked with ABA (10 μmol/L) for 24 h, then subjected to high-temperature stress conditions with the temperature of 40℃ for germination. Four treatments:control (CK-ABA), seed soaking with ABA (CK+ABA), high temperature stress (HS-ABA) and subjected to high temperature stress after seed soaking with ABA (HS+ABA), were designed to investigate the priming effect of ABA on seed germination, bud growth, reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, cell damage and gene expression in rice under high temperature stress. Results showed that high temperature stress significantly (P<0.05) inhibited seed germination and growth of young buds and roots. And rate of seed germination showed a significant (P<0.05) negative correlation with the content of superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide and malondialdehyde, indicating that excessive accumulation of ROS and resulting in cell damage was a main restrictive factor in the inhibition of seed germination of rice by high temperature stress. There were no significant differences of seed germination and growth indices of bud between ABA soaking treatment and non-ABA soaking treatment under non-high temperature stress condition. Seed soaking with ABA improved seeds germination and growth of young shoots and roots under high temperature stress. ABA soaking significantly (P<0.05) reduced ROS content and membrane injury degree of rice shoots under high temperature stress and upregulated the expression of the ROS-scavenging genes, OsCATB, OsAPX6, OsFe-SOD and OsCu/Zn-SOD, as well as the cell death inhibitor gene OsBI1. In addition, the germination rate, bud length and root length of rice seeds showed an extremely significant(P<0.01) or significant(P<0.05) correlation to the contents of superoxide anions(O₂^-) and hydrogen peroxide(H₂O₂) with ABA soaking treatment under ABA soaking treatment were significantly negatively correlated with ROS contents under high temperature stress conditions. Furthermore, ABA soaking significantly (P<0.05) increased the expression of two ABA responsive genes, Salt and OsWsi18 in the buds under high temperature stress, indicating that the ABA signaling pathway was indeed activated by ABA soaking. In conclusion, ABA primed rice for adapting to high temperature stress at seed germination stage mainly via an important pathway of improving downstream antioxidant defense capacity, inhibiting ROS accumulation and reducing cell damage.
