| Sumario: | Abstract Mesocotyl elongation is an important trait influencing seedling emergence and establishment in rice direct-seeding cultivation and is immediately inhibited after light exposure. Detailed researches on the molecular basis and biological processes underlying light repression of mesocotyl growth could probably provide useful information for key factors controlling this trait. Here we monitored the transcriptome and endogenous phytohormone changes specifically in the elongating mesocotyl in response to light exposure with a time-course. It was revealed that 974 transcripts were significantly differentially expressed (FDR < 0.05, |log2 (L/D) | ≥2) after light exposure. Most of the differential expression genes associated with the responses to hormone. Metabolic pathway analysis using the KEGG system suggested plant hormone signal transduction, α-linolenic acid metabolism and diterpenoid biosynthesis were critical processes of mesocotyl growth inhibited by light. Consistent with DEGs, the endogenous IAA, tZ and GA3 content was significantly reduced while JA level was dramatically increased, which indicated that light inhibited rice mesocotyl growth through decreasing IAA, tZ and GA3 content and/or increasing JA level. The present results enriched our knowledge about the genes and phytohormones regulating mesocotyl elongation in rice, which may help improve future studies on associated genes and develop new varieties tolerance to deep sowing. |
