Field-grown rice plants are exposed to various stresses at different stages of their life cycle, but little is known about the effects of stage-specific stresses on phenomes and transcriptomes. In this study, we performed integrated time-course multiomics on rice at 3-d intervals from seedling to heading stage under six drought conditions in a well-controlled growth chamber. Drought stress at seedling and reproductive stages reduced yield performance by reducing seed number and setting rate, respectively. High temporal resolution analysis revealed that drought response occurred in two steps: a rapid response via the abscisic acid (ABA) signaling pathway and a slightly delayed DEHYDRATION-RESPONSIVE ELEMENT-BINDING PROTEIN (DREB) pathway, allowing plants to respond flexibly to deteriorating soil water conditions. Our long-term time-course multiomics showed that temporary drought stress delayed flowering due to prolonged expression of the flowering repressor gene GRAIN NUMBER, PLANT HEIGHT AND HEADING DATE 7 (Ghd7) and delayed expression of the florigen genes HEADING DATE 3a (Hd3a) and RICE FLOWERING LOCUS T 1 (RFT1). Our life-cycle multiomics dataset on rice shoots under drought conditions provides a valuable resource for further functional genomic studies to improve crop resilience to drought stress.
