Chilling stress is an essential environmental factor impacting rice production. The booting stage is the most sensitive stage in rice growth to chilling stress. The research team focused on OsRBCS3, a gene linked with chilling tolerance, specifically at the booting stage, and encodes a key enzyme in photosynthesis.
The expression levels of the gene under chilling stress were compared in two japonica rice cultivars that exhibit varying chilling tolerances. Results showed a positive correlation between OsRBCS3 expression and chilling tolerance. Through CRISPR, overexpression and knock-out lines of OsRBCS3 were developed and assessed. Higher chilling tolerance was observed in overexpressed lines than wild-type lines at both seedling and booting stages, while knock-out lines showed lower chilling tolerance than the wild-type.
The results confirmed that OsRBCS3 is vital in rice chilling tolerance at the booting stage.
