Abstract: Despite extensive studies on the effects of elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations ([CO2]) on rice, the molecular players and signaling events underlying adaptation of rice plants to elevated [CO2] remains largely elusive. Here, we report that the OsRab6a gene encoding a small GTPase is involved in the regulation of rice growth, seed yield and iron (Fe) accumulation in response to elevated [CO2] using wild-type and transgenic rice plants of OsRab6a-overexpressing and OsRab6a-RNAi. No differences in growth and grain yield among wild-type and the transgenic plants were detected under ambient [CO2] conditions. When growing in elevated [CO2] conditions, growth and grain yield of wild-type and OsRab6a-overexpression rice plants were enhanced, with the OsRab6a-overexpression rice plants exhibiting higher growth and yield than their wild-type counterparts. In contrast, there were no effects of elevated [CO2] on growth and grain yield of OsRab6a-RNAi plants. Photosynthetic rates of both WT and OsRab6a-overexpressing plants were stimulated by elevated [CO2], with the magnitude of increase being higher in OsRab6a overexpression. Fe concentrations in vegetative tissues and grains of wild-type and transgenic rice plants were reduced by elevated [CO2], and the magnitude of decrease was lower in overexpression than that of wild-type and RNAi plants. The genes associated with Fe acquisition Fe in OsRab6a-overexpressing lines exhibited greater expression than those in WT and OsRab6a-RNAi plants under elevated [CO2]. By analyzing data with the Dunnett's multiple comparison test, our results suggest that OsRab6a is an important molecular regulator underlying rice adaptation to elevated [CO2] by regulating photosynthesis and Fe accumulation. |
