Multiple small-effect alleles of Indica origin enhance high iron-associated stress tolerance in rice under field conditions in west Africa

Open Access Journal; Published online: 15 Jan 2021Understanding the genetics of field-based tolerance to high iron-associated (HIA) stress in rice can accelerate the development of new varieties with enhanced yield performance in West African lowland ecosystems. To date, few field-based studies have been undertaken to rigorously evaluate rice yield performance under HIA stress conditions. In this study, two NERICA × O. sativa bi-parental rice populations and one O.sativa diversity panel consisting of 296 rice accessions were evaluated for grain yield and leaf bronzing symptoms over multiple years in four West African HIA stress and control sites. Mapping of these traits identified a large number of QTLs and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with stress tolerance in the field. Favorable alleles associated with tolerance to high levels of iron in anaerobic rice soils were rare and almost exclusively derived from the indica subpopulation, including the most favorable alleles identified in NERICA varieties. These findings highlight the complex genetic architecture underlying rice response to HIA stress and suggest that a recurrent selection program focusing on an expanded indica genepool could be productively used in combination with genomic selection to increase the efficiency of selection in breeding programs designed to enhance tolerance to this prevalent abiotic stress in West Africa

Iron toxicity tolerance in rice: Roles of Auxins and Gibberellins

Rice is subjected to high iron (Fe) levels in acidic lowland soils which results in disturbance of basic metabolism, several changes in physiological processes and as a consequence reduction in productivity. In response to Fe toxicity in soils, rice like other plants produce a number of hormones (also known as phytohormones), including auxins, gibberellic acids and cytokinins. These hormones are organic substances that regulates plant growth and development, and play important role in rice defence against Fe toxicity. These hormones are part of signal-transduction pathway that stimulates reactions for Fe toxicity responses. The biosynthesis, transport, redistribution and conjugation of these plant hormones in rice has been shown not only to reduce high Fe inside rice plant tissue, but also to alleviate the adverse effect of Fe toxicity. In the present review, we discuss the conditions that enhances Fe toxicity in rice, effects of Fe toxicity in rice and tolerance strategies to Fe toxicity in rice. A special attention has been paid on the role and mechanism of phytohormones in enhancing tolerance and overcoming Fe toxicity-induced adverse effect

Below-ground plant–soil interactions affecting adaptations of rice to iron toxicity

Iron toxicity is a major constraint to rice production, particularly in highly weathered soils of inland valleys in sub-Saharan Africa where the rice growing area is rapidly expanding. There is a wide variation in tolerance of iron toxicity in the rice germplasm. However, the introgression of tolerance traits into high-yielding germplasm has been slow owing to the complexity of the tolerance mechanisms and large genotype-by-environment effects. We review current understanding of tolerance mechanisms, particularly those involving below-ground plant–soil interactions. Until now these have been less studied than above-ground mechanisms. We cover processes in the rhizosphere linked to exclusion of toxic ferrous iron by oxidation, and resulting effects on the mobility of nutrient ions. We also cover the molecular physiology of below-ground processes controlling iron retention in roots and root-shoot transport, and also plant iron sensing. We conclude that future breeding programmes should be based on well-characterized molecular markers for iron toxicity tolerance traits. To successfully identify such markers, the complex tolerance response should be broken down into its components based on understanding of tolerance mechanisms, and tailored screening methods should be developed for individual mechanisms
