ABSTRACT

Rice is one of the most economically important commodities globally. However, rice plants are salt susceptible species in which high salinity can significantly constrain its productivity. Several physiological parameters in adaptation to salt stress have been observed, though changes in metabolic aspects remain to be elucidated. In this study, rice metabolic activities of salt-stressed flag leaf were systematically characterized. Transcriptomics and metabolomics data were combined to identify disturbed pathways, altered metabolites and metabolic hotspots within the rice metabolic network under salt stress condition. Besides, the feasible flux solutions in different context-specific metabolic networks were estimated and compared. Our findings highlighted metabolic reprogramming in primary metabolic pathways, cellular respiration, antioxidant biosynthetic pathways, and phytohormone biosynthetic pathways. Photosynthesis and hexose utilization were among the major disturbed pathways in the stressed flag leaf. Notably, the increased flux distribution of the photorespiratory pathway could contribute to cellular redox control. Predicted flux statuses in several pathways were consistent with the results from transcriptomics, end-point metabolomics, and physiological studies. Our study illustrated that the contextualized genome-scale model together with multi-omics analysis is a powerful approach to unravel the metabolic responses of rice to salinity stress.

ABSTRACT

Rice nucleolin (OsNUC1), consisting of two isoforms, OsNUC1-L and OsNUC1-S, is a multifunctional protein involved in salt-stress tolerance. Here, OsNUC1-S's function was investigated using transgenic rice lines overexpressing OsNUC1-S. Under non-stress conditions, the transgenic lines showed a lower yield, but higher net photosynthesis rates, stomatal conductance, and transpiration rates than wild type only in the second leaves, while in the flag leaves, these parameters were similar among the lines. However, under salt-stress conditions at the booting stage, the higher yields in transgenic lines were detected. Moreover, the gas exchange parameters of the transgenic lines were higher in both flag and second leaves, suggesting a role for OsNUC1-S overexpression in photosynthesis adaptation under salt-stress conditions. Moreover, the overexpression lines could maintain light-saturation points under salt-stress conditions, while a decrease in the light-saturation point owing to salt stress was found in wild type. Based on a transcriptome comparison between wild type and a transgenic line, after 3 and 9 days of salt stress, the significantly differentially expressed genes were enriched in the metabolic process of nucleic acid and macromolecule, photosynthesis, water transport, and cellular homeostasis processes, leading to the better performance of photosynthetic processes under salt-stress conditions at the booting stage.
