Improving the performance of rice (Oryza sativa) under drought stress has the potential to significantly affect rice productivity. Here, we report that the ERF family transcription factor OsLG3 positively regulates drought tolerance in rice. In our previous work, we found thatOsLG3has a positive effect on rice grain length without affecting grain quality. In this study, we found thatOsLG3was more strongly expressed in upland rice than in lowland rice under drought stress conditions. By performing candidate gene association analysis, we found that natural variation in the promoter ofOsLG3is associated with tolerance to osmotic stress in germinating rice seeds. Overexpression ofOsLG3significantly improved the tolerance of rice plants to simulated drought, whereas suppression ofOsLG3resulted in greater susceptibility. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the tolerant allele ofOsLG3may improve drought tolerance in cultivatedjaponicarice. Introgression lines and complementation transgenic lines containing the elite allele ofOsLG3IRAT109showed increased drought tolerance, demonstrating that natural variation inOsLG3contributes to drought tolerance in rice. Further investigation suggested thatOsLG3plays a positive role in drought stress tolerance in rice by inducing reactive oxygen species scavenging. Collectively, our findings reveal that natural variation inOsLG3contributes to rice drought tolerance and that the elite allele ofOsLG3is a promising genetic resource for the development of drought-tolerant rice varieties.
