Abstract

Salt contamination of soils due to climate change faces a severe environmental issue that affects crop production today. However, the response mechanism in plants to salt stress is not fully understood. The present study investigated molecular and biochemical changes under salt stress in rice seedlings of three rice cultivars, i.e., AGPPS114 (salt-tolerant), OM6967 (moderately tolerance), VD20 (salt-sensitive). Increasing salt concentration leads to a reduction in shoot/root length but different levels among the cultivars. In contrast, reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and lipid peroxidation increased progressively with increasing salt concentration and time course treatment. However, at 250 ?M of NaCl, these parameters were more adversely affected in VD20 than AGPPS114 and OM6967. Using ICP showed that Na+ accumulation in rice root increased gradually with increasing NaCl concentrations in all cultivars under salt treatment but was low in salt-sensitive cultivar VD20 compared to other cultivars. Antioxidant enzyme activity analysis indicated catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were induced during salt treatment in all cultivars. The results also showed greater proline and glycine betaine accumulation in the AGPPS114 than OM6976 and VD20. qPCR indicated a significant difference in transcript levels of the Na+-transporter gene OsSOS1, OsNHX1 and OsHKT1s in AGPPS114 and OM6967 cultivars compared to VD20 cultivar. In summary, the active regulation of genes related to Na+ transport at the transcription level and with high glycine betaine and proline accumulation levels may be involved in salt tolerance mechanisms and thus might be useful for selecting tolerant plants.
