Expression of a carbonic anhydrase gene is induced by environmental stresses in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Abstract: Expression of the gene (OsCA1) coding for carbonic anhydrase (CA) in leaves and roots of rice was induced by environmental stresses from salts (NaCl, NaHCO(3) and Na(2)CO(3)), and osmotic stress (10%, w/v, PEG 6000). CA activity of rice seedlings more than doubled under some of these stresses. Transgenic Arabidopsis over-expressing OsCA1 had a greater salt tolerance at the seedling stage than wild-type plants in 1/2 MS medium with 5 mM NaHCO(3), 50 mM NaCl, on 100 mM NaCl. Thus CA expression responds to enviro… Show more

“…Previous reports showed that the CA gene expression level and enzyme activity in triticale increased under salt stress, suggesting that CA played a part in the response to salt stress [19] . According to the examination findings of Yu et al, the similar result was also found in rice [20] . Fisher et al cloned the CA gene of strong salt tolerance from Dunaliella salina and found that the expression levels of mRNA and protein were enhanced along with the increase of the concentration of sodium chloride in the nutrient solution [21] .…”

“…These results suggest that the expression of CA was related to environmental stresses. Transgenic Arabidopsis over-expressing OsCA1 had a greater salt tolerance at the seedling stage than wild-type plants and the CA activity was up-regulated by salts and osmotic stresses (Yu et al, 2007). The possible mechanism of over-expressing OsCA1 had a greater salt tolerance was that plants might rely on CA to catalyze HCO 3 -rapidly transformed to CO 2 in physiological drought condition caused by salt stress, to meet the physiology needs of the plants.…”

“…Although the bulk of the CA activity is associated with the chloroplast fraction in C 3 plants, there are at least 10 to 15 % of the total activity is cytoplastic (Rumeau et al, 1996). Chloroplast CA contents in higher plants are saturated and cytoplasm CA contents are inadequate (Badger, 2003), and it is important to study the function and application of cytoplasm CAs in higher plant resistance because the CA activity was up-regulated by salts and osmotic stresses (Yu et al, 2007).…”
