Abstract

Rice grain yield is drastically reduced under low light especially in kharif (wet) season due to cloudy weather during most part of crop growth. Therefore, 50–60% of yield penalty was observed. To overcome this problem, identification of low light tolerant rice genotypes with a high buffering capacity trait such as photosynthetic rate has to be developed. Sedoheptulose-1,7 bisphosphatase, a light-regulated enzyme, plays pivotal role in the Calvin cycle by regenerating the substrate (RuBP) for RuBisCo and therefore, indirectly regulates the influx of CO2 for this crucial process. We found a potential role of SBPase expression and activity in low light tolerant and susceptible rice genotypes by analyzing its influence on net photosynthetic rate and biomass. We observed a significant relationship of yield with photosynthesis, SBPase expression and activity especially under low light conditions. Two tolerant and two susceptible rice genotypes were used for the present study. Tolerant genotypes exhibited significant but least reduction compared to susceptible genotypes in the expression and activity of SBPase, which was also manifested in its photosynthetic rate and finally in the grain yield under low light. However, susceptible genotypes showed significant reduction in SBPase activity along with photosynthesis and grain yield suggesting that tracking the expression and activity of SBPase could form a simple and reliable method to identify the low light tolerant rice cultivars. The data were analyzed using the Indostat 7.5, Tukey–Kramer method through Microsoft Excel 2019 and PAST4.0 software. The significant association of SBPase activity with the grain yield, net assimilation rate, electron transfer rate, biomass and grain weight were observed under low light stress. These traits should be considered while selecting and breeding for low light tolerant cultivars. Thus, SBPase plays a major role in the low light tolerance mechanism in rice.
