Genetic variation in ZmSO contributes to ABA response and drought tolerance in maize seedlings
Water scarcity impairs maize growth and yield. Identification and deployment of superior drought-tolerance alleles is desirable for the genetic improvement of stress tolerance in maize. Our previous study revealed that maize sulfite oxidase (SO) catalyzes the oxidation of sulfite to sulfate and may be involved in drought response. But it was unclear whether the natural variation in ZmSO is directly associated with the drought resistance of maize. In the present study, we showed that ZmSO was associated with drought tolerance in maize seedlings, using gene association analysis and a transgene approach. A 14-bp insertion variation, containing two ABA-responsive elements, in the promoter region of ZmSO conferred ABA-inducible expression, leading to increased drought tolerance. Genetic selection of this favorable allele increased drought tolerance. This study has identified elite alleles associated with sulfur metabolism for improving maize drought resistance.

期刊介绍：
The major aims of The Crop Journal are to report recent progresses in crop sciences including crop genetics, breeding, agronomy, crop physiology, germplasm resources, grain chemistry, grain storage and processing, crop management practices, crop biotechnology, and biomathematics.
The regular columns of the journal are Original Research Articles, Reviews, and Research Notes. The strict peer-review procedure will guarantee the academic level and raise the reputation of the journal. The readership of the journal is for crop science researchers, students of agricultural colleges and universities, and persons with similar academic levels.
