Title Rice <i>microRNA171f/SCL6</i> module enhances drought tolerance by regulation of flavonoid biosynthesis genes.
Abstract:
Plants have evolved sophisticated defense systems to enhance drought tolerance. These include the microRNA (miRNA) group of small noncoding RNAs that act as post-transcriptional regulators; however, details of the mechanisms by which they confer drought tolerance are not well understood. Here, we show that <i>osa-MIR171f</i>, a member of <i>osa</i>-<i>MIR171</i> gene family, is mainly expressed in response to drought stress and regulates the transcript levels of <i>SCARECROW-LIKE6-I</i> (<i>SCL6-I</i>) and <i>SCL6-II</i> in rice (<i>Oryza sativa</i>). The <i>SCL6</i> genes are known to be involved in shoot branching and flag leaf morphology. <i>Osa-MIR171f-</i>overexpressing (<i>osa</i>-<i>MIR171f</i>-OE) transgenic plants showed reduced drought symptoms compared with non-transgenic (NT) control plants under both field drought and polyethylene glycol (PEG)-mediated dehydration stress conditions. Transcriptome analysis of <i>osa-MIR171f</i>-OE plants and <i>osa-mir171f</i>-knockout (K/O) lines generated by clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR/Cas9) revealed that <i>osa</i>-mature-miR171a-f (<i>osa</i>-MIR171) regulates the expression of flavonoid biosynthesis genes, consequently leading to drought tolerance. This upregulation in the <i>osa-MIR171f-</i>OE plants, which did not occur in NT control plants, was observed under both normal and drought conditions. Our findings indicate that <i>osa</i>-MIR171 plays a role in drought tolerance by regulating <i>SCL6-I</i> and <i>SCL6-II</i> transcript levels.
