| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this project, we hypothesized that anther stomata perceive changes in vapor pressure deficit (VPD) at flowering to induce favorable anther water status, resulting in an increase in spikelet fertility, even at high temperature. Anthers subjected to high temperature conditions exhibited higher water content than the control, whereas the filaments showed lower water content. Furthermore, panicle xylem water potential declined under high temperature conditions, suggesting that spikelets including anthers were subjected to water deficit. Microarray analysis indicated that the expression of several water stress-associated genes, such as LEA, was up-regulated under high temperature conditions. Furthermore, stomatal density was positively correlated with high temperature-induced spikelet sterility in nine cultivars. Taken together, we conclude that anther stomata play a key role in controlling anther water status and surface temperature in response to the changes in VPD at flowering.
