<title>Abstract</title>Silicon (Si), the most abundant mineral element in the earth’s crust, is taken up by plant roots in the form of silicic acid through Low silicon rice 1 (Lsi1). Lsi1 belongs to the Nodulin 26-like intrinsic protein subfamily in aquaporin and shows high selectivity for silicic acid. To uncover the structural basis for this high selectivity, here we show the crystal structure of the rice Lsi1 at a resolution of 1.8 Å. The structure reveals transmembrane helical orientations different from other aquaporins, characterized by a unique, widely opened, and hydrophilic selectivity filter (SF) composed of five residues. Our structural, functional, and theoretical investigations provide a solid structural basis for the Si uptake mechanism in plants, which will contribute to secure and sustainable rice production by manipulating Lsi1 selectivity for different metalloids.

Zinc Transport in Rice: Dilemma between optimal plant requirement and human nutrition. International journal

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for both plants and animals, while Zn deficiency in crops and humans is a global problem affecting crop productivity and human health. Since plants and humans differ in their Zn requirement, there is a dilemma between plant nutrition and human nutrition. In this review, we focus on the transport system of Zn from soil to grain in rice (Oryza sativa), which is a major dietary source of Zn for people subsiding on rice-based diets. We describe transporters belonging to different family, which are involved in the uptake, vacuolar sequestration, root-to-shoot translocation and distribution of Zn. We also discuss the possible regulation mechanism of these transporters. Several examples are given on enhancing Zn accumulation and bioavailability in rice grains through manipulation of genes highly expressed in the nodes, where Zn is highly deposited. We finally provide our perspectives toward breeding rice cultivars with both increased tolerance to Zn-deficiency stress and high Zn density in rice grains.

Lateral roots but not root hairs contribute to high uptake of manganese and cadmium in rice. International journal

En Yu, Naoki Yamaji, Chuanzao Mao, Hua Wang, Jian Feng Ma

Journal of experimental botany 72 ( 20 ) 7219 - 7228 2021.10

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) can accumulate high manganese (Mn) in the shoots through uptake by the roots, which consist of crown roots, lateral roots and root hairs. We investigated the role of lateral roots and root hairs in Mn and cadmium (Cd) uptake by using two indica rice mutants defective in formation of lateral roots (osiaa11) and root hairs (osrhl1). The uptake of Mn and Cd in osiaa11 was significantly lower than that in wild type 'Kasalath', but there was no difference between wild type and osrhl1. Furthermore, a kinetic study showed that Mn uptake in osiaa11 was much lower than that in wild type and osrhl1 across a wide range of Mn concentrations. The role of lateral roots in Mn and Cd uptake was further confirmed in a japonica rice mutant defective in lateral root formation. We found that expression of Mn transporter gene Natural Resistance-Associated Macrophage Protein 5 (OsNRAMP5), but not of Metal Tolerance Protein 9 (OsMTP9), was lower in osiaa11 than in wild type; however, there were no differences between osrhl1 and the wild type. Immunostaining showed that OsNRAMP5 and OsMTP9 were localized in the exodermis and endodermis of crown roots and lateral roots, but not in the root hairs. Taken together, our results indicate that lateral roots, but not root hairs, play an important role in high Mn and Cd uptake in rice.
