Calcium is a crucial second messenger in plant cells and contributes to plant resistance against biotic and abiotic stress. Plant defense priming with natural or synthetic compounds leads to quicker and stronger resistance responses. However, whether pretreatment of plant seeds with calcium could improve their resistance to stress remains poorly understood. In this study, we showed that rice seedlings grown from calcium chloride (CaCl2)-pretreated seeds displayed enhanced resistance to the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae and the rice bacterial pathogenXanthomonasoryzaepv.Oryzae(Xoo). Seed priming with CaCl2also led to enhanced rice tolerance to salt and cold. Furthermore, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst increased significantly upon immunity activation in the leaves of rice seedlings grown from CaCl2-pretreated seeds. Additionally, we analyzed the rice calmodulin-binding protein 60 (OsCBP60) family and found that there were 19 OsCBP60s in rice cultivar Zhonghua 11 (ZH11). The transcripts of severalOsCBP60s were chitin- andM. oryzae-inducible, suggesting that they may contribute to rice resistance. Taken together, these data indicate that seed priming with CaCl2can effectively enhance rice tolerance to multiple stresses, perhaps by boosting the burst of ROS, and OsCBP60 family members may also play an essential role in this process.
