Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A lack of screening techniques delays progress in research on salinity resistance in rice. In this study, we report our test of the hypothesis that an apoplastic pathway (the so-called bypass flow) causes a difference in salt resistance between rice genotypes and can be used in screening for salinity resistance. Fourteen-day-old seedlings of low- and high-Na(+) -transporting recombinant inbred lines (10 of each) of rice IR55178 were treated with 50 mM NaCl and 0.2 mM trisodium-8-hydroxy-1,3,6-pyrenetrisulphonic acid (PTS), a bypass flow tracer, for short (4 d) and long (90 d) periods of time. The results showed that the average shoot Na(+) concentration and bypass flow for high-Na(+) -transporting lines were 1.4 and 2.4 times higher than those of low-Na(+) -transporting lines, respectively. There was a positive linear correlation between the percentage of bypass flow and Na(+) concentrations in the shoots, suggesting that the difference in Na(+) transport in rice is a consequence of different degrees of bypass flow. Moreover, a high correlation was found between bypass flow and seedling survival after prolonged salt stress: the lower the magnitude of bypass flow, the greater seedling survival. We conclude that bypass flow could be used as a new screening technique for salt resistance in rice. © 2011 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
