Popis: Exposure to high temperatures can impair the grain-filling process in rice (Oryza sativa L.), potentially leading to the formation of chalky endosperm, but the molecular regulation mechanism remains largely elusive. Here, we reported that high-temperature (HT) stress (day/night, 35 °C/30 °C) reduces both the grain-filling rate and grain weight of Ningjing 1 variety compared to normal temperatures (NT, day/night, 28 °C/23 °C). Grains under HT stress exhibited an opaque, milky-white appearance, alongside significant alterations in starch physicochemical properties. An integrated transcriptomic analysis of grains under HT revealed up-regulation of genes related to defense mechanisms and oxidoreductase activity, while genes involved in sucrose and starch synthesis were down-regulated, and α-amylase genes were up-regulated. Proteomic analysis of grains under HT echoed this pattern. These results demonstrate that high temperature during the grain-filling stage significantly increases rice chalkiness by down-regulating genes related to sucrose and starch synthesis, while up-regulating those involved in starch degradation.
