In this study, two rice genotypes were exposed to HT, WS and combined high temperature and water stress(WS + HT) during flowering to quantify their response through anther dehiscence. Gene expression profiles of 15 selected Os DIRs revealed differences among stresses and between varieties. The targeted gene Os DIR-08, which was considered to be a HT stress candidate gene, was decreasingly expressed from the 1st d to the 4th d under HT stress in Nagina 22(N22) while increased in Moroberekan. Varies of the expression of Os DIR genes in stresses intuitively reflects on the lignin-staining at the anther dehisced sites, which implied a negative relationship between the lignin biosynthesis and Os DIRs' expression. Anther dehiscence disturbed by HT and WS + HT stress showed a negative cumulative effect in HT sensitive variety Moroberekan but not in N22. Higher level of anther dehiscence in N22 under HT and WS + HT stress indicated its true tolerance of HT and to WS + HT during anthesis. The differentially expressed of Os DIR(s) under various managed stresses caused the difference of the lignin-staining at the anther dehisced site in N22, and thus transformed anther dehiscence correspondingly might be one of the main reasons for the tolerance.展开更多
