The transcription factor OsbZIP48 governs rice responses to zinc deficiency

© 2024 John Wiley & Sons Ltd..

Zinc (Zn) deficiency is the most prevalent micronutrient disorder in rice and leads to delayed development and decreased yield. Nevertheless, despite its primary importance, how rice responds to Zn deficiency remains poorly understood. This study presents genetic evidence supporting the crucial role of OsbZIP48 in regulating rice's response to Zn deficiency, consistent with earlier findings in the model plant Arabidopsis. Genetic inactivation of OsbZIP48 in rice seedlings resulted in heightened sensitivity to Zn deficiency and reduced Zn translocation from roots to shoots. Consistently, OsbZIP48 was constitutively expressed in roots, slightly induced by Zn deficiency in shoots and localized into nuclei induced by Zn deficiency. Comparative transcriptome analysis of the wild-type plants and osbzip48 mutant grown under Zn deficiency enabled the identification of OsbZIP48 target genes, including key Zn transporter genes (OsZIP4 and OsZIP8). We demonstrated that OsbZIP48 controlled the expressions of these genes by directly binding to their promoters, specifically to the Zn deficiency response element motif. This study establishes OsbZIP48 as a critical transcription factor in rice's response to Zn deficiency, offering valuable insights for developing Zn-biofortified rice varieties to combat global Zn limitation.
