Plant roots play important roles in absorbing water and nutrients, and in tolerance against environmental stresses. Previously, we identified a rice root‐specific pathogenesis‐related protein (RSOsPR10) induced by drought, salt, and wounding. RSOsPR10 expression is strongly induced by jasmonate (JA)/ethylene (ET), but suppressed by salicylic acid (SA). Here, we analyzed the promoter activity of RSOsPR10. Analyses of transgenic rice lines harboring different‐length promoter::β‐glucuronidase (GUS) constructs showed that the 3‐kb promoter region is indispensable for JA/ET induction, SA repression, and root‐specific expression. In the JA‐treated 3K‐promoter::GUS line, GUS activity was mainly observed at lateral root primordia. Transient expression in roots using a dual luciferase (LUC) assay with different‐length promoter::LUC constructs demonstrated that the novel transcription factor OsERF87 induced 3K‐promoter::LUC expression through binding to GCC‐cis elements. In contrast, the SA‐inducible OsWRKY76 transcription factor strongly repressed the JA‐inducible and OsERF87‐dependent expression of RSOsPR10. RSOsPR10 was expressed at lower levels in OsWRKY76‐overexpressing rice, but at higher levels in OsWRKY76‐knockout rice, compared with wild type. These results show that two transcription factors, OsERF87 and OsWRKY76, antagonistically regulate RSOsPR10 expression through binding to the same promoter. This mechanism represents a fine‐tuning system to sense the balance between JA/ET and SA signaling in plants under environmental stress. |
